Bruce Tolentino, Deputy Director of the International Rice Research Institute, said his team has been perfecting their decades-old research on “Golden Rice”, which consists of genetically-modified rice grains infused with beta-carotene, a chemical substance responsible in producing Vitamin A in the body. He also said,“ In a Vitamin A-enriched rice, what the scientists did was to select three genes out of roughly 30,000 genes in a rice plant.
