Featured Rice Lines

  Compared with its parental line, A5 exhibits an approximately 40% reduction in plant height, resulting in a more compact structure and enhanced stem strength. This architectural optimization significantly improves lodging resistance and mechanical harvestability, providing a stable foundation for high-yield, climate-resilient rice production. 

 The A18 rice line was developed to address heavy-metal contamination in agricultural soils through precise genome design guided by the RiceDesign™ platform.
When cultivated in high-cadmium (Cd) soil environments, A18 demonstrated remarkable Cd resistance, maintaining normal growth and yield performance.
Notably, the Cd concentration in A18 grains decreased by approximately 60% compared with the control, greatly enhancing food safety and environmental sustainability.

The A36 rice line exhibits a significant accumulation of β-glucan in rice grains, a dietary fiber known for its cholesterol-lowering and immune-supportive properties.

 The A13 rice line was developed to enhance germination and early growth performance under oxygen-deficient conditions. When tested in flooded and low-oxygen environments, A13 exhibited a 12% higher germination rate compared with the control group, maintaining robust seedling establishment and growth.
This variety is particularly suited for special cultivation scenarios, such as flood-prone regions or waterlogged paddy systems, offering improved adaptability and resilience for diverse agricultural environments.

The high-yield rice lines P755 and P753 represent major breakthroughs in yield trait optimization achieved through Hetu Biotechnology’s RiceDesign™-guided gene editing program.Both varieties exhibit significant improvements in grain morphology, with marked increases in grain length and width compared to their parental lines. As a result, their thousand-grain weight (TGW) increased by 26% (P755) and 45% (P753), respectively.

These enhanced yield traits demonstrate the effectiveness of Hetu’s data-driven molecular design strategy, setting a strong foundation for next-generation high-productivity and resource-efficient rice cultivation.
