Photo: Paddy Fields in the Western Ghats of India.Photo: Model depicting high-starch low-methane-emission SUSIBA2 rice. Sugar-inducible HvSUSIBA2 expression generates a snowball effect that ultimately leads to a rice plant with enhanced starch accumulation in seeds and stems and decreased carbon allocation to roots, which reduces methanogenic growth and methane emissions. Red dots represent methanogens.Photo: Sources of Methane, a greenhouse gas.
