For the data of the University of California scientist in Davis, Venkatesan Sudaresana, he and his team managed to bring out new types of rice culture that can clone themselves. 
The peculiarity of these species is that they are able to isolate seeds of the opposite sex, without the fate of the second plant. Such a discovery could improve the rice fruiting system and save time on pollination. But the main advantage is the fact that this ability will be able to increase the yield.
Scientists were able to implement this modification of one of the types of DNA available in rice. He instilled in both male and female germ cells of the plant. The BBM1 genome made it so that rice did not lose the ability to reproduce sexually, but also gave healthy offspring from itself. Biologists, surprised by such a discovery, will clone in other cultures in the future.
