What is golden Rice?
• GM rice with 3 introduced genes
• Capable of b-carotene synthesis
• Golden yellow color kernels

Need for GR• VAD a major challenge
• Major cause of seeing disorders xeropthalmia to keratomalacia
• 124 million children affected worldwide
• 1 to 2 million deaths per year among children
• Prevalent in South and SE Asia where rice is a major food staple

VAD in women
• Night blindness is common among pregnant women
• Lactation deficiencies
• Maternal mortality up to 40%

Combating VAD
1.Dietary diversification
Common carotenoids
Plant sources
α carotene Carrots, palm oil
β carotene Green leafy veg, many fruits and sea weeds
γ carotene Fungi
δ carotene Tomatoes

2. Supplementation natural or artificial sources
3. Conventional fortification commonly consumed item-salt or
sugar
4. Fortification thro Genetic Engg. Golden Rice

Development of Golden Rice
• 1990 Gary Toeniessen realised lack of β carotene in polished rice
• Gene transfer for synthesis • Brainstorming session

Difficulties
•Transfer of 3 genes•Transformation and
regeneration problems•Many patents (70)•Funding

Mile Stones• Selection of daffodils
• Transformation and regeneration protocols (Winn 1996)
• Transformants with phytoene (Burkhardt et al. 1997)
• Agrobacterium based transformation system for many genes (Ye et al. 2000)
Golden Rice (Potrykus et al 2000)

Testing the transformants
• HPLC tests used
• Transformed lines detected beta carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin
• 1.6 µg/g β carotene detected (T309)

Accomplishments
• Biochemical manipulation thro genes (C3 to C4)
• Simultaneous gene transfer possible
• Biotech for poorest of poor

Benefits of G. Rice
• Sustainable and cost free solution for VAD
• No additional inputs• Seeds can be resown• Local varieties can be converted • Free for developing countries

Controversies
• GR is first generation GM crop
• Amount of b-carotene expressed (1.5-1.8 µg/g) is low
• Genetic erosion due to monoculture
• Other problems associated with any other GM crop (stability, silencing and unpredictable products)

Challenges ahead
• Resynthesis thro latest technology• Gene transfer to tropical local
varieties• Level of expression • Technological improvements• Nutritional studies essential

Golden Rice deserves a chance
