Red rice with anti-atherosclerosis properties and giant embryo rice with blood pressure-lowering functions have entered the laboratory breeding stage and are expected to reach consumers' dining tables in the near future. The "high-protein rice breeding" project undertaken by the Plant Molecular Genetics Laboratory of Shanghai Normal University has been listed as a key project of the Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission. Red rice is a natural colored rice that has anti-atherosclerosis properties and can enhance the body's antioxidant capacity. It is rich in bioactive substances such as carotene, flavonoids and alkaloids, as well as mineral elements including iron, zinc and calcium. Scientific researchers have combined high-protein

Red rice is a natural colored rice that has anti-atherosclerosis properties and can enhance the body's antioxidant capacity. It is rich in bioactive substances such as carotene, flavonoids and alkaloids, as well as mineral elements including iron, zinc and calcium. Scientific researchers crossed high-protein but low-yield red rice with ordinary rice to cultivate "high-yield red rice." In addition, they have also cultivated "soybean rice" that may lower blood lipids and plasma cholesterol.
