LAHORE - High yielding hybrid rice area is
going to cross 50 per cent in three years from present 25 to 30 per cent paddy
coverage, yielding additional two million tons output, said Shahzad Ali Malik,
Chief Executive Officer of Guard Rice Research & Services Pvt Ltd at a
function.
All efforts of introducing hybrid rice seed in
Pakistan is being commanded by national seed companies mainly in collaboration
of Chinese leader in research & development with 'Guard Agri' having the
lion's share. Several multinational seed companies like, Monsanto, Pioneer,
Syngenta and Bayer did try to introduce hybrid rice seed but failed to
outperform national seed companies.
Their varieties were less rewarding for farmers
due to lack of jump in production while seed cost was also high if compared
with what local seed companies were offering, Shahzad Ali Malik said.
Malik, who is founding president of Seed
Association of Pakistan (SAP) and ex-presidents of Rice Exporters Association
of Pakistan (REAP) and LCCI, said that with untiring efforts of local
scientists, the role of private sector in seed research and development is
increasing day by day.
With doubling of hybrid rice seed coverage from
present 25-30 per cent to over 50 per cent in next three years, national rice
production is potentially expected to be increased by hefty two million tons.
At present yield is 6.9 million ton from 2.79 million hactares. By doubling the
area from 25 per cent to 50 per cent, the expected increase in yield will be
around 2 million tons and total yield will be around 9 million tons, he
explained.
In total rice hybridization, around 90 per cent
area of long-grain paddy is in Sindh province while 10 per cent in South
Punjab. As aromatic basmati rice is first choice for farmers in Punjab, coarse
varieties area is still low.
However, with production of hybrid rice seed in
central Punjab, paddy area in Punjab is likely to increase significantly in
coming years, he observed.
The major factor behind success of national
seed companies in large-scale acceptance of rice hybrid seed has been
development of heat-resistance and drought-tolerant varieties, he said and
adding multinational seed companies had varieties that could not perform well
in harsh summer weather of Sindh and Southern Punjab.
Hence, Malik said, the long grain hybrid rice
that substituted IRRI-6 in coastal belt and central Sindh is a major success as
its export market is rapidly evolving in the favour of farmers and exporters.
The higher yield and lower production give a
premium to farmers, considerably changing their socio economic conditions.
Consequently, our long grain rice is gaining
grounds globally with much ease by competing major producers and exporters
countries of the world like Vietnam and Thailand. It is pertinent to mention
here that Shahzad Ali Malik is one of the most prominent entrepreneurs who
spearhead private sector research and development (R&D) in agriculture.
His company has emerged as a leader in
demand-driven research in agriculture, challenging the monopoly of public
sector institutions and multinationals.
With great passion to increase productivity of
farming sector, Shahzad Ali Malik is actively striving to achieve food security
in his untiring efforts spanning over past 25 years. He successfully pioneered
the introduction of hybrid rice seed in Pakistan with collaboration of Chinese
scientists

for the Rice Huller (Rice Husker) market along with the impact they have on the
demand over the forecast period. Additionally, the report includes the study of
opportunities available in the Rice Huller (Rice Husker) market on a global
level.
A rice huller or rice husker is
an agricultural machine used to automate the process of removing the chaff (the
outer husks) of grains of rice. Throughout history, there have been numerous
techniques to hull rice. Traditionally, it would be pounded using some form of
mortar and pestle. An early simple machine to do this is a rice pounder. Later
even more efficient machinery was developed to hull and polish rice. These
machines are most widely developed and used throughout Asia where the most
popular type is the Engelberg huller designed by German Brazilian engineer
Evaristo Conrado Engelberg in Brazil and first patented in 1885.
The Engelberg huller uses steel
rollers to remove the husk. Other types of huller include the disk or cono
huller which uses an abrasive rotating disk to first remove the husk before
passing the grain to conical rollers which polish it, this is done repeatedly
since other sides of circular side of rice are nut husked. Rubber rollers may
be used to reduce the amount of breakage of the grains, so increasing the yield
of the best quality head rice, but the rubber rollers tend to require frequent
replacement, which can be a significant drawback.

Breakthrough in battle against rice blast
Date:
March 26, 2018

University of Exeter
Summary:
Scientists
have found a way to stop the spread of rice blast, a fungus that destroys up to
30% of the world's rice crop each year.
Scientists have found a way to
stop the spread of rice blast, a fungus that destroys up to 30% of the world's
rice crop each year.
An international team led by the
University of Exeter showed that chemical genetic inhibition of a single
protein in the fungus stops it spreading inside a rice leaf -- leaving it
trapped within a single plant cell.
The finding is a breakthrough in
terms of understanding rice blast, a disease that is hugely important in terms
of global food security.
However, the scientists caution
that this is a "fundamental" discovery -- not a cure that can yet be
applied outside the laboratory.
The research revealed how the
fungus can manipulate and then squeeze through natural channels (called
plasmodesmata) that exist between plant cells.
"This is an exciting
breakthrough because we have discovered how the fungus is able to move
stealthily between rice cells, evading recognition by the plant immune
system," said senior author Professor Nick Talbot FRS, of the University
of Exeter.
"It is clearly able to
suppress immune responses at pit fields (groups of plasmodesmata), and also
regulate its own severe constriction to squeeze itself through such a narrow
space.
"And all this is achieved by
a single regulatory protein. It's a remarkable feat."
Rice blast threatens global food
security, destroying enough rice each year to feed 60 million people.
It spreads within rice plants by
invasive hyphae (branching filaments) which break through from cell to cell.
In their bid to understand this
process, the researchers used chemical genetics to mutate a signalling protein
to make it susceptible to a specific drug.
The protein, PMK1, is responsible
for suppressing the rice's immunity and allowing the fungus to squeeze through
pit fields -- so, by inhibiting it, the researchers were able to trap the
fungus within a cell.
This level of precision led the
team to discover that just one enzyme, called a MAP kinase, was responsible for
regulating the invasive growth of rice blast.
The research team hope this
discovery will enable them to identify targets of this enzyme and thereby
determine the molecular basis of this devastating disease.
The research was led by Dr Wasin
Sakulkoo, who recently received his PhD from Exeter.
Dr Sakulkoo is a Halpin Scholar,
a programme initiated by the generosity of Exeter alumni Les and Claire Halpin,
which funds students from rice-growing regions of the world to study with
Professor Talbot's research group.
Dr Sakulkoo is from Thailand, and
has returned home to a new position in industry following graduation.
