UMD Assistant Professor Receives $1.1 Million Early Career Award from NSF to Perfect CRISPR and Gene Regulation Tools in Plants

Advancing plant genomics research and crop production by disseminating tools to over 36 countries and counting

CRISPR
“I always think that tools and research should be made readily available to everyone in the scientific community who can benefit,” says Qi. “If we want our science to help people and solve these issues, we need to make tools accessible to everyone and collaborate as much as possible.”
COLLEGE PARK, MD. (PRWEB) SEPTEMBER 13, 2018
UMD Assistant Professor Yiping Qi in the Department of Plant Science and Landscape Architecture received a $1.1 million Plant Genome Research Program Early Career Award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to continue his unique work developing tools for researchers to perfect CRISPR and apply these technologies to gene regulation in a variety of worldwide crop systems.
Qi’s work, specifically using the rice genome as a test platform, is providing practical tools to enhance gene editing technologies like CRISPR and improve the specificity of genetic “cuts” that are made, ensuring the integrity of the entire genome. Tools from Qi’s lab are currently used by researchers in more than 36 countries around the world and counting, with the ultimate goal of advancing plant and crop yields and helping to feed a rapidly growing global population. They have the ability to turn genes “up and down” as opposed to just “on and off”, which is very practical for crop productivity and sustainability. Continued development of these tools will not only aid basic research, but allow scientists to seek novel solutions to global challenges such as devastating plant diseases, economical bioenergy production, sustainable agriculture, and climate change.
“CRISPR technologies are revolutionizing biology, agriculture, and medicine. CRISPR can be thought of as molecular scissors that cuts DNA so that the piece related to a certain trait can be be removed, replaced, or edited,” says Qi. “We don’t just test different kinds of these scissors in our lab, but we have to think about how the DNA goes back together, what else is altered, and whether we are turning a gene on, off, up, or down. All of those specifics aren’t inherent in the scissors themselves and need specific tools and testing to accomplish. That is what we do.”
The concept of gene editing is not a new one, and has been accomplished with cross-breeding since humans first cultivated plants for agricultural purposes. However, given the increasing population, food security is a growing concern, and new emerging issues are arising for crop and food production. There is a need to feed a projected population of 9.6 billion people by 2050 with little to no new agricultural land, meaning that yields for major crops need to be improved in other ways. CRISPR, as a new precision breeding technology, will enable scientists and breeders alike to do the same things done with traditional cross-breeding programs in a much shorter amount of time to account for new issues like disease resistance, pests, heat, drought, and other major concerns of a changing climate and growing population.
“Rice is a very important global crop, and we have the entire genome sequenced, so it is a great crop to study and develop tools that can be applied to other major crops,” explains Qi. “Currently, efficient tools that target up-regulating or down-regulating a certain gene or simultaneously regulating many genes aren’t available to the plant biology community. But simultaneous up-regulation of genes in human somatic cells, for example, resulted a genome reprogramming technology that was recognized with a Nobel Prize in 2012. Developing tools to reprogram plant genomes should help open the door to a lot of discoveries and translational research in agriculture. That’s why NSF is so excited about this work.”
With this grant, even though Qi is working directly with rice to improve crop traits and yields, his work is focused primarily on developing and disseminating the tools and technologies necessary for researchers around the world to directly apply to all kinds of crops. Tools are made available to researchers through a public repository called Addgene.
“I always think that tools and research should be made readily available to everyone in the scientific community who can benefit,” says Qi. “If we want our science to help people and solve these issues, we need to make tools accessible to everyone and collaborate as much as possible.”
To this effect, Qi has been an advocate in the scientific community, publishing multiple scientific papers over the last few years related to gene regulation tools (e.g., Plant Physiology, Nature Plants, Molecular Plant) and frequently attending talks and meetings to further promote his research. Not only did he just return from the NSF awardee meeting in early September for this new grant where he gave a talk on the existing tools they have developed for the research community, but he was in Budapest the same week giving multiple talks on plant genome editing, both to public and academic audiences.
“Nowadays, I travel for invited talks on a monthly basis to promote plant genome editing and transcriptional regulation technologies,” says Qi. “It is important that people know what technologies like CRISPR can and can’t do, and that audiences of all types are educated on the importance of this work. I think people [at NSF] are excited to see that my lab, thanks to the new funding, will further develop gene regulation tools by repurposing CRISPR systems from genome editing to gene regulation. This is an exciting new development for the field that has a lot of applications for serious global issues.”

‘We need dicamba,’ say Arkansas farmers, consultant Description: Arkasas Farmers

Farmers Jessie Flye and Logan White, check rice fields with their crop consultant Eddie Cates. Flye and White also grow cotton, soybeans and corn and say they need dicamba technology to manage pigweed.
Arkansas farmers and their consultant say dicamba needed to control pigweed. Urge 'reasonable' cutoff date.
Ron Smith | Sep 12, 2018
Three Arkansas rice farmers and their crop consultant agree that the new dicamba technology should have reasonable application timing limits, but also that farmers need the herbicides to control pigweed in cotton and soybeans.
“We need to plant Xtend soybeans and use dicamba,” says Poinsett County, Arkansas, rice and soybean farmer Jonathan Ashlock. “We need to be able to use dicamba. We didn’t use any at all this year.” The cutoff date, April 15, was too early to use the product effectively.“We need the technology, but with a realistic cutoff.”
He says other herbicides are available but some of the most effective “are hard on soybeans. Some varieties are more tolerant than others, so we have to know the variety.”
He also believes his best varieties, the ones he can count on for best yields, are the ones with the dicamba tolerant traits.
“If we don’t have dicamba next year, I’ll plant LibertyLink soybeans. But I prefer the new technology varieties.”
He used dicamba last year. “I sprayed every acre myself and had no trouble at all. Education meetings helped, and we also had more farmers planting Xtend crops, some to protect themselves. But that’s not the best way to farm.”

Cultural Practices
He rotates acreage every year, pulls pigweed by hand and uses a pump-up sprayer to kill any escapes he sees.
“We do all that and we still have pigweed. We have some resistance,” he adds.
“We need every tool we can get,” says Jessie Flye, who farms with his brother, Logan White, just over the ridge from Ashlock. “Maybe a May 15 to June 1 cutoff date would work.”
He says he and Logan are careful with any spray application. “We will not spray anything if it could hurt another man’s crop. That’s the biggest issue.”
He says they can keep cotton pretty clean with Liberty and Roundup, with some additional chopping. But it’s expensive. “We had a $200,000 chopping bill just to keep the cotton clean,” Flye says.
White adds that the varieties with the dicamba technology also produce their most consistent yields.
He and Flye say rotation and cover crops help with weed control. They grow rice, soybeans, cotton and corn.
“We need dicamba,” says Eddie Cates, who is the crop consultant for both farms. “They can use Liberty, but they need this technology. Those varieties are very good.”
He says not all his clients agree. “Some feel differently about dicamba,” he says. “I’m kinda caught in the middle.”
He agrees that a May 30 cutoff date could be a good compromise.
Larry Steckel, University of Tennessee weed scientist, at an early September cotton field day in Jackson, Tenn., said complaint reports on dicamba drift for Tennessee are about half what they were a year ago.
He says a reasonable cutoff date likely will be part of any new registration from EPA. He says he expects the products to be registered.
Cates, an independent crop consultant who has logged more than 30 years of scouting and consulting and serves as president of the Arkansas Crop Consultant’s Association, says farmers need the technology. “I would like to emphasize the importance of keeping this technology,” he says. “The ability to control pigweed and the variety selections are what the standards should be compared to. We need dicamba.” 

PCCI sees inflation curbed with quick action on agri

Description: PCCI sees inflation curbed with quick action on agriTHE Philippine Chamber of Commerce Industry, Inc. is seeking a more liberalized importation scheme that would allow even domestic processors that use sugar as a raw material to bring in sugar at any time. — BW FILE PHOTO
THE business lobby said inflation can be kept in check with changes to agricultural policy, particularly with long-term reforms to address systemic production shortfalls in the sugar, rice and fishing industries.
“It’s not alarming in the sense that it’s obvious what is causing the problem. Rice, sugar, fish, vegetables, services and delivery, those are the factors driving prices… There are solutions for these things. The only thing out of our control is fuel,” Philippine Chamber of Commerce Industry, Inc. (PCCI) treasurer and honorary chairman Sergio R. Ortiz-Luis, Jr., said at a news press conference in Taguig City on Tuesday.
Also the president of Philippine Exporters Confederation, Inc., Mr. Ortiz-Luis said according to studies he has commissioned, an 8% inflation rate is still manageable.
Nevertheless, PCCI regrets the impact of inflation on consumers and advised the economic team to set a timetable for its eight-point action plan.
“There must have to be a timetable of implementing this action plan,” PCCI’s Agriculture Committee Chairman Roberto C. Amores said during the briefing, noting however that these are only for the short-term.
On sugar, Mr. Amores said that the group is seeking a more liberalized importation scheme that would allow even domestic processors that use sugar as a raw material to bring in sugar at any time.
Mr. Amores, also the president of the Philippine Food Processors and Exporters Organization, Inc., said sugar shipments brought in by the government failed to resolve the price crunch as the imported sugar was resold at a price still unfavorable to food processors.
Sugar imports are restricted to international traders registered with the Sugar Regulatory Administration, usually those who have participated in the agency’s sugar export program.
PCCI proposes that domestic food processors directly import an initial amount sufficient to service the needs of 4,000 micro, small and medium-sized domestic food processors.
The PCCI also backs a more liberal rice import regime, in which tariffs will be levied on imports.
“The pending Rice Tarrification Bill in Congress is a welcome development that we support if it would mean helping stabilize the price of rice and ensure its sufficient stock, not to the detriment of our farmers,” Mr. Amores said.
In August, the House of Representatives approved on third and final reading House Bill 7735 or the Rice Tariffication bill.
For the fisheries sector, the PCCI is asking the Department of Agriculture to review the ban on the use of the modified Danish seine (MDS) method of fishing.
Mr. Amores said the ban has set back the fish supply by about two million kilos per day leading to “prohibitive” fish prices.
The government banned MDS due to the damage caused to sea grass and coral.
“It’s about time that our policy makers review and revise certain policies that are no longer contributing to the agenda of government,” Mr. Amores said. — Janina C. Lim

Following rains, Arkansas rice crop ‘largely okay’

Will next Gulf weather system sweep in? Description: Rice plants heads
David Bennett | Sep 13, 2018
It is Sept. 11 and having already watched the rains generated by Hurricane Gordon sweep over the Arkansas’ roce crop, Jarrod Hardke stands beneath gray skies and misting clouds. The Arkansas Extension rice specialist sums up the last few weeks of the growing season: “The weather has been weird."
“For the most part, growers were just getting back to normal yesterday. Then, shockingly, today there’s bad weather coming up from the south. It’s sprinkling right now. Where did that come from? It wasn’t on any forecast I saw. Yet, it’s overcast and rain is falling in scattered areas from Memphis south. We thought this week would give us a break and we’d have a mix of cloudy mornings and sunshine.”
Even after the Gordon rains “our rice still largely looks okay. Obviously, the ground is wet and growers are just diving in to make harvest progress. The grain moisture level is not perfect, but it’s good enough to do that. So, we’re having to mud the crop out a bit more and that’s slowing things down.
“Some of the rice may not be down, but it’s sinking in places. There are some flattened spots in fields – mostly in the Prairie and south where some of the heavier rainfall was. Those spots weren’t caused by wind but are strictly due to the rain that just kept coming and weighed the plants down.”

Harvest

Overall, all of that means the state’s rice harvest is behind schedule.
“Mainly, that’s because of the weather,” says Hardke. “The crop hasn’t dried out, matured and cured out as fast as it should have because August was ‘flip-flopped.' By that I mean normally the first two weeks of August along with the last two weeks of July are the hottest 30 days of the year.
“This year, while it was still warm, we kind of got a cool down during that period. The last two weeks of August were the typical low-90s, very hot and humid weather that usually happens the first two weeks of the month. It worked in reverse.”
A dry spell would do wonders for morale.
“We’re doing okay but we need a good run of seven to 10 days of dry weather to really put a dent in harvest. Of course, now we’ve got more storms brewing and potentially headed our way. (Tropical Storm) Isaac is supposed to come into the Gulf of Mexico. Will it hit somewhere that’ll impact the Mid-South?
“With all that’s happening we really need to make some progress. We’re probably between 30 to 40 percent harvested.”

Yields and nights

What about yields?
“So far, yields have been very good and people are happy. This season was one of the grassiest crops most folks can remember. I kept hearing ‘there’s so much grass this crop isn’t going to cut that well.’ But I was thinking ‘I don’t know what rice field you’re talking about because the one I just walked out of looks like it’s going to cut a bunch of rice. I’m not saying there’s no drag from the grass, but there’s a lot of rice out here.’”  
The rice crop looks to be strong but don’t expect too much.
“I don’t think it’ll be record-setting but I wasn’t expecting that anyway with the acreage we have this year. Setting records is extremely difficult anytime we get over 1.4 million acres. Once you get to that level, rice starts going onto okay ground but you’re moving off the prime, high-yield production fields.”
How has Provisia done in this year’s weedy conditions?
“One thing I can say is I haven’t had to look at much Provisia rice because it’s done a good job. Extension specialists usually get to talk about problems. The conversations this year have usually been me talking to someone about a problem and at the end they’ll tag on ‘oh, by the way, my Provisia looks good.’
“Folks have also been happy with the cost of control – not only of weedy rice but barnyardgrass populations resistant to other modes of action.”
Hardke says this season’s nighttime temperatures teetered on the razor’s edge.
“For a while, we toed the line on nighttime temperatures around the 75 degree mark for a low. From there and up is the zone of concern. We hung around that level in early July and then caught a break with some rains that took some of the edge off the heat. That was a great thing for the remainder of our flowering, pollination and grain-fill.“The overall milling quality numbers I’m hearing so far are very good.”

Asia Rice: India rates tumble; Vietnam hopes to clinch Philippines deal


SEPTEMBER 13, 2018
BENGALURU (Reuters) - Rice export prices in India slumped this week as the rupee fell and demand remained weak with buyers expecting further dips, while low supplies and the prospect of a new deal with the Philippines pushed up prices for the Vietnamese variety.

In top exporter India, rates for the 5 percent broken parboiled variety fell by $5 to $371-$375 per tonne this week, the lowest in 17 months.“Rates are down due to the rupee and weak demand. Buyers are postponing purchases expecting further falls in prices,” said an exporter based at Kakinada in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh.
The Indian rupee has fallen 13 percent so far in 2018 and hit a record low on Wednesday, increasing exporters margins.In Vietnam, however, rates for benchmark 5 percent broken rice rose to $400-$405 a tonne from $397-$403 last week on tight supplies and rising demand.
“The Philippines is about to announce a plan to buy an extra 133,000 tonnes, while supplies are running low,” a Ho Chi Minh City-based trader said.Meanwhile, the World Economic Forum held in Hanoi from Sept. 11 to 13 saw Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen encouraging the Mekong region to establish an association of rice exporting countries.In Thailand, benchmark 5 percent broken rice prices were little changed at $390-$393 per tonne, free on board (FOB) Bangkok, compared with last week’s $385-$393 as activity remained slow, traders said.
“There’s so little market activity lately that traders are just taking naps,” a trader in Bangkok said, adding that he has tried to convince buyers to make purchases now when the prices are considered low for the grade.Thailand had exported 7.65 million tonnes of rice this year up until last Friday, according to the latest commerce ministry data.Another Bangkok-based trader said he expected demand from the Philippines and Indonesia to pick up in the coming weeks due to recent natural disasters in the two countries.
“Prices have been at this level for a while and shouldn’t go any lower. Prices are actually expected to increase because of anticipated demand from the Philippines and Indonesia,” the trader said.
Elsewhere, Bangladesh, which stepped up its imports last year after floods destroyed its crops, has procured more than 1.1 million tonnes of rice locally so far to build state reserves, after output of the grain revived.“We are getting a good response in our local procurement drive and will continue it,” a food ministry official said.



Ompong's estimated damage to rice, corn could reach billions: Piñol

MANILA – Agriculture Secretary Manny Piñol on Thursday said the projected damage of Typhoon Ompong in rice and corn crops alone could amount to billions of pesos.
During the command conference led by President Rodrigo Duterte, Piñol said rice could suffer losses amounting to P3.6 billion on a moderate estimate or up to P7.9 billion in a worst case scenario.
Corn crops could suffer P2.7 billion in losses under moderate conditions or up to P3.1 billion, he said. 
Ompong, expected to make landfall in Cagayan Saturday morning, could affect a total of 1,220,000 hectares of rice and corn alone, Piñol said. 
Piñol, however, assured the President that despite the typhoon, there would still be about 85 to 96 days of rice supply left by the end of the year.
To prepare the farmers, Piñol said they have activated their operation centers. Farmers were advised to harvest matured crops while trucks for animal evacuation were also strategically positioned.
Malacañang earlier said Duterte wanted the country to be at its highest level of readiness for Ompong. 

Duterte plans to buy rice from Sabah
Thursday, September 13, 2018
Description: http://www.dailyexpress.com.my/upload/manila1309.jpg
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said he is considering buying rice from Sabah to address the country's rice supply issues.
"Shortages are always there... The economic life of a country cannot be all bed of roses. I have several options. The importation did not stop. If worse comes to worst, I will open Sabah," the President said.
"The rice from Sabah is cheap. If we let the authorities, those from Basilan, those from Jolo or Zamboanga to buy rice there, they can get it at a very low price," he added.
Duterte also expressed willingness to set up barter trade in the area, which is now being administered by Malaysia.
Meanwhile, with the country's rice supply still dwindling, Duterte is also now in search of a new head for the state-run National Food Authority (NFA) after his appointee Jason Aquino requested to be relieved.
In a televised interview with Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo, Duterte announced that Aquino has requested to be removed after leading the agency for one year and eight months.
"He says he's tired and he cannot cope with the dynamics inside, which is always ordinary happening, happening in government because we cannot be in agreement all the time," Duterte said, referring to the NFA administrator.Aquino is being blamed for the lack of rice supply in the market, prompting prices to spike.
Even NFA spokesman Rex Estoperez, who is on leave, has not responded to queries and clarifications.A source from the NFA, however, said the announcement from the President was unexpected as Aquino has not mentioned any plan to resign from his post.
NFA Deputy Administrator Tomas Escare told a recent House hearing that the grains agency asked the council last October to allow the importation of one million metric tons of rice.He claimed the Council permitted the NFA to import rice only last May.
NFA Council member and Trade Undersecretary Ruth Castelo countered Escare's claim, saying the approval was delayed because of the NFA's failure to submit information about its inventory. Duterte has claimed that the Philippines has more than enough supply of rice and expressed readiness to order the opening of warehouses to prevent hoarding.
Officials have said the government would open stores selling cheap rice to stabilise prices.



PITC offers to import 3m bags of rice

September 13, 2018 at 08:25 pm by Manila Standard Business
PHILIPPINE International Trading Corp., an attached agency of the Trade Department, proposed to import up to 150,000 metric tons or 3 million bags of rice to augment the current stock of the National Food Authority.The department is tapping the bulk procurement expertise of PITC, the country’s premier government-controlled trading corporation, to bring in more rice through government-to-government procurement. 
Trade Undersecretary Ruth Castelo said the agency would be on standby until the NFA Council cleared the proposal. 
Castelo said with PITC’s proven international trading experience, it could bring rice to the country by December and sell them to consumers at P27 to P32 per kilo.
She said the DTI’s effort was a part of the government’s all-out efforts to find concrete solution by tapping various agencies to extend assistance in bringing down prices of rice. 
PITC president and chief executive Dave Almarinez said the agency was throwing its full support behind the government’s effort, through DTI, to address the current artificial rice shortage.
Smuggling, hoarding and ‘man-made’ price manipulation in the rice industry are pinpointed as the main reasons the low-income families are now facing difficulties in buying affordable rice.
Almarinez said PITC was joining DTI and NFA in preventing rice hoarders from hurting the economy and lives of millions of Filipinos.
The subsidized rice―priced at P27 and P32 a kilo depending on the variant―would be considered a reprieve for poor Filipino consumers as current prices of commercial rice reached an average all-time high of P43 a kilo.
The NFA last week approved an additional importation of 250,000 metric tons of rice this year under an open tender scheme. The action will bring the agency’s rice imports for the year to 750,000 MT, including the half a million ton of imports approved earlier this year.
The PITC said that once its proposal was approved, it would implement strategies to effectively bring down the price of rice.
It said that by flooding the market with imported rice, hoarders would be left with no option but to release their supply in the market and eventually stabilize prices.


Cameroon: Rice import spending grew by 27.9% to CFA183.7bn in 2017

 

Thursday, 13 September 2018 12:07

(Business in Cameroon) - Last year, Cameroon invested CFA183.7 billion to import 728,443 tons of rice, the National Statistics Institute (INS) said. This reflects an increase by 27.9% in value and 18.6% in volume, compared to 2016, despite the application of customs duties since January 2016.
“Over the past years, Cameroonian importers have been sourcing mainly from Thailand as prices per kg were more competitive compared to other Asian countries,” INS indicated adding that until then, prices had been almost stable at around $500 per ton. However, the unit import price increased recently by 7.9% to CFA252.2 per kilogram. Asia is Cameroon’s main rice supplier (99.8%) and key providers include Thailand (85%), India (7%) and Myanmar (2%).
Back in 2000, the country imported 552,472 tons of rice for CFA156.6 billion. During the peak year 2013, rice import stood at 819,841 tons for CFA212.6 billion, according to INS.
In Cameroon, paddy rice production increased by 12% to 311,674 tons in 2016, upon the continued extension of rainfed rice cultivation and the distribution of chemical fertilizers. However, much of the local production is exported.



Tanzania: Rice Importation Suspended As Local Production Doubles


By Janeth Joseph
Moshi — The government has suspended the importation of rice on the grounds that the country produced more than it needs in the previous agricultural season.The permanent secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture, Mr Mathew Mtigumwe, said here that while the country's annual demand for rice was 900,000 tonnes, local production for this year reached 2.2 million tonnes, that is, double the demand.
He said the statistics meant that Tanzania had a surplus production of over 1.3 million tonnes of rice.
"This makes Tanzania among the top five countries in Sub-Sahara in rice production," said Mr Mtigumwe. The other countries, according to him, are Nigeria, Madagascar, Mali and Guinea.
Meanwhile, the representative of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (Jica), Mr Toshio Nagase, whose organization is about to implement a mega project to increase the productivity, said over 15,000 growers of rice are expected to benefit, hence uplifting thousands from poverty.
Ms Hadija Hassan, who is a beneficiary of the project, said their productivity has soared from being able to produce three rice bags to 56 bags per acre.
"Now, our main problem is lack of market," she said."We ask the government to look on the possibilities of providing us with reliable markets so that we can continue benefiting from agriculture," she said.
