The US anti-crop programme, an intensive operation throughout the 1950s and 60s, had a cache of nearly a tonne of
rice blast at the time it was disbanded.
The incidence of
rice diseases (e.g., bacterial leaf blight, leaf blast, sheath rot, and sheath blight) and damage from insect pests (e.g., rice bug, yellow stem borer) were recorded for GR2E Golden Rice and unmodified control rice grown at five locations during the 2017 boro season in Banglad

Five years ago, a team led by Richard Smalley
at Rice University in Houston came up with a new production method that
blasts a graphite target with lasers in the presence of catalytic metal particles.
In studies
at the Delaware Biotechnology Institute
at UD, Bais and his team treated spores of the
rice blast fungus with abscisic acid.
For the
rice plant to effectively combat
blast, scientists
at IRRI are combining into the same
rice type different race - specific genes and genes conferring quantitative resistance.
