Our sincere thanks to Dr Nese Sreenivasulu for joining us at @MurdochUni and delivering an inspirational presentation on his team’s efforts to develop low-GI, high-protein rice lines.
With over 537 million adults suffering from diabetes globally, successfully developing high-protein rice lines that can improve the diets and health of the estimated half a billion protein-deficient consumers is a tremendous scientific achievement.
Fascinating to learn how @irri brought together multidisciplinary expertise to achieve low GI, high PC rice lines without sacrificing yield.
Thanks again, @n_sreenivasulu; we hope to see you back at Murdoch very soon!
You can learn more about Dr Sreenivasulu and his team’s research here: irri.org/news-and-events/new…
