Golden Rice Mutagenesis

Goldens is a variety of rice (Oryza sativa) produced by genetic engineering to biosynthesize beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, in the edible parts of rice. [1] [2] It is intended to produce an enriched food intended to be cultivated and consumed in the zones with shortage of food vitamin A, a deficiency which, according to estimates, mar each year 670 000 children of less than 5 years [3 ] and causes an additional 500,000 cases of irreversible. Childhood  blindness. [4] Rice is a staple food crop for more than half of the world's population, 30 to 72% of the energy ratio to the inhabitants of Asian countries and becoming an effective crop to fight against vitamin deficiencies. [5]

Golden eras  differs from its parental strain by the addition of three beta-carotene biosynthesis genes. The parental strain can naturally produce carton in its leaves, where it is involved in photosynthesis. However, the plant does not normally produce the pigment in the anti serum, where photosynthesis does not occur. Golden rice has encountered significant opposition from environmental and anti-globalization activists. A study in the Philippines aims to assess the performance of golden rice, whether it can be planted, grown and harvested like other varieties of rice, and whether golden rice poses a risk to human health. [6] There has been little research on the resistance of beta carotene when stored for long periods between harvest seasons, or when cooked using traditional methods. [7]

In 2005, Golden Rice 2 was announced, which produces up to 23 times more beta-carotene than the original golden rice. [8] To receive the USDA's Recommended Nutritional Intake (RDA), it is estimated that 144 g / day of the high-yielding strain should be consumed. The bioavailability of carotene from golden rice has been confirmed and has been shown to be an effective source of vitamin A for humans. [9] [10] [11] Golden Rice was one of the seven recipients of the Patents for Humanity Awards 2015 from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. [12] [13] In 2018, the first food approvals were granted in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States.
