Scientists identify protein to boost rice yield by 50%

A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences explains how researchers from Nanjing Agricultural University and John Innes Centre have developed rice crops with an improved ability to manage their own pH levels, enabling them to take up significantly more nitrogen, iron, and phosphorous from soil and increase yield by up to 54%.
