CRISPR-Cas9 Used to Recover Red Pigmentation in Elite Rice Varieties |
 Rice is a major staple food crop for over half of the global population. It is known for having white grains, but some varieties exhibit pigmented grains such as red rice. Red rice has high concentrations of healthful proanthocyanidins and anthocyanins. Two complementary genes (Rc and Rd) control the red coloration of rice grains. Wild rice species Oryza rufipogon has red grains, while most cultivated varieties have white grains due to a deletion in the Rc gene.
