Genectic Rice

WAX2000080405 - 04 AUGUST 2000 - WASHINGTON, DC, USA: The Monsanto Co. said that it would give away certain patent rights to speed use of a genetically modified rice that could save millions of malnourished children in poor countries from dying or going blind. The company said it would grant patent licenses at no charge to the developers of "golden rice," a variety of genetically modified rice enriched in beta carotene, the building block of Vitamin A. More than a million children weakened by Vitamin A deficiency die every year in poor countries, and at least 300,000 more go blind. cc/MONSANTO/ho UPI.
