Rice is unique in providing about 25% of global calories, and 75% in the developing world; food security is one of its greatest challenges. However, yield is not the only factor to be considered when developing new varieties of rice, because the traits of quality have a large impact on adoption of any new variety. Rice quality programmes have reached a plateau in their capacity to screen for quality, and need to take delivery of information from new research enabled by technological progress to identify new traits of quality and methods to screen for them.
