                    [Summary] => A new disease resistant and nutritionally enriched rice variety will soon be introduced by the Philippine Rice Research Institute ( PhilRice ) before 2010.


Dr. Antonio Alfonso, the head of the PhilRice's Plant Breeding and biotechnology division said that their aim is to produce, after about three years, a rice variety which is rich in beta-carotene or Vitamin A and resistant to "Tungro" disease and bacterial blight.


Alfonso explained that tungro is a disease of palay that strikes in the early stage, resulting to reduced palay production.
