Bioengineered ‘golden’ indica rice cultivars with β‐carotene metabolism in the endosperm with hygromycin and mannose selection systems
Vitamin‐A deficiency (VAD) is a major malnutrition problem in South Asia, where indica rice is the staple food. Indica‐type rice varieties feed more than 2 billion people. Hence, we introduced a combination of transgenes using the biolistic system of transformation enabling biosynthesis of provitami...
