🌾 DSR Conclave 2025 kicks off at ISARC,Varanasi!
Chaired by Dr. Yvonne Pinto, DG, IRRI, and co-chaired by Shri D.P. Wickramasinghe, Secretary, Sri Lanka, the opening session focuses on Direct-Seeded Rice (DSR) and pathways for large-scale adoption. #DSRConclave2025#IRRI
At #IndiaAfricaSeedSummit 2025, @IRRI & @AgriGoI co-hosted a session on Seeds Without Borders.
Key message: Faster varietal exchange between India & Africa can strengthen food security & climate resilience.
Collaboration beyond borders = stronger farmers, resilient future.
Scientists at IRRI and partners in India have discovered a powerful variant of the gene OsIRO2 that can boost rice yields by up to 27% under drought without compromising yield stability.
