IRRI partners with Korea on improving rice sector 03.05.2018

| UkrAgroConsult IRRI is working closely with the government of South Korea through its Rural Development Administration (RDA) in advancing rice research to help more rice-growing countries.The IRRIRDA collaboration goal is to maximize research opportunities and go beyond challenges to create a strong impact in helping resource-poor farmers. IRRI works with RDA in the delivery of tailored solutions to the country‘s local needs. ―Our 50-year partnership with the Republic of Korea has led to the development of premium quality varieties — Gopumbyeo and Unkwangbyeo — as well as high-quality and high-yielding temperate japonica rice varieties that also benefit the Philippines,‖ said Arvind Kumar, senior scientist with the IRRI. ―It has also launched the Rice Technology Transfer System Workshops, which has benefited around 130 practitioners from over 17 countries in Asia.‖In the 1960s, the government of the Republic of Korea through RDA started working with the IRRI to improve rice production and build the country‘s national capacity. This partnership brought the Green

4

Revolution to South Korea and helped transform the country from a rice importer to a selfsufficient producer and exporter of rice.

―Through our partnership with IRRI, Korea has revolutionized rice production and RDA came to have world-class rice breeding technology,‖ said Jeom-Ho Lee, director of the RDA. ―We hope that through this meeting, we will be able to evaluate our current projects and plan future initiatives on delivering impactful rice research, which is crucial for both organizations.‖South Korea supported more than 50 research projects with IRRI and is looking forward to more research collaborations. In 2010, RDA committed $2.09 million for cooperation, training, and support to INGER and other ongoing projects. Among the priority areas of research in the new agreement are the development of abiotic stresses and disease tolerance in temperate japonica, and the development of rice cultivars with tolerance to high temperature.

RDA officials led by Lee met with IRRI scientists to evaluate current projects and other opportunities for collaboration last April 25 at IRRI headquarters. http://www.blackseagrain.net/novosti/irri-partners-with-korea-on-improving-rice-sector

Arkansas Rice Leaders, Ag Industry Meet with USDA Under Secretary Bill Northey

By Lauren Waldrip Ward LITTLE ROCK, AR -- U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Under Secretary for Farm and Foreign Agriculture Services Bill Northey met with Arkansas government and agriculture leaders here yesterday and then traveled to Stuttgart to meet with producers and rice industry representatives. Sworn in on March 6, Northey now oversees the Farm Service Agency (FSA), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and Risk Management Agency (RMA) mission areas. He was accompanied by Cynthia Edwards, Deputy Secretary of Agriculture, Arkansas Agriculture Department; David Curtis, State Executive Director, Arkansas FSA; and Mike Sullivan, State Conservationist, Arkansas NRCS. "Farmers are the salt of the earth and it's a pleasure to be able to work alongside our growers," said Northey. "We are committed to customer service and will become irrelevant if we aren't in touch with the specific needs of each of our states.""We greatly appreciate Under Secretary Northey's time in Arkansas learning about our state's largest industry and his efforts to gain a better understanding of our growers' needs," said Arkansas Agriculture Secretary Wes Ward. "I have witnessed and appreciated Secretary Northey's work first-hand through his previous post as Iowa Agriculture Secretary and know he will continue to advance our industry in his new capacity."

During the rice specific meeting, growers highlighted current industry priorities including the significance of working lands conservation programs like RCPP, CSP, and EQIP, as well as the importance of irrigation infrastructure projects. Arkansas rice farmers have consistently led efforts to improve conservation and stewardship of Arkansas lands and waterways.

"The new administration has been very intentional about providing the best service possible to us as producers," said Arkansas Rice Federation Chairman Jeff Rutledge. "The time he took to meet with us and listen to our concerns today only confirm that further."

Premier welcomes climate-resilient rice Sum Manet / Khmer Times Share: The Cambodian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI) has developed a rice variety better adapted to withstand the drastic changes in weather patterns seen in Cambodia in recent years.Prime Minister Hun Sen broke the news yesterday during the closing ceremony of the Ministry of Agriculture‘s annual conference.

6

Baptised ‗Mey Tey‘, the new rice is a premium fragrant variety that can reportedly survive severe draughts and floods, which have become more common in the kingdom in recent years, Mr Hun Sen said. ―We haven‘t tasted it yet, but I believe it will be a success,‖ he said.―It can withstand extreme changes in temperature,‖ he said, explaining that some of the rice varieties Cambodian farmers are using struggle to survive in the hot weather of recent weeks.

Hun Lak, vice president of Cambodia Rice Federation, said the work of CARDI in developing new rice varieties is now more important than ever due to climate change. ―It is essential to work on new rice varieties given how drastically the weather is changing. All our neighbours are also working on this type of research,‖ Mr Lak said. ―We need new rice varieties that can help us increase yields and keep up the price of the commodity. If we don‘t undertake this type of research, we run the risk of not being able to produce enough rice to meet market demand.‖ Cambodia‘s exports of milled rice fell by 3.4 percent during the first three months of 2018, dropping to 161,115 tonnes. https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50485907/premier-welcomes-climate-resilient-rice/

Indian Scientists Find New Way To Recycle Organic Waste – Earthworm Guts!

by Guest ContributorMay 2, 2018, 2:31 pm Earthworms are considered best friends of farmers, acting as engineers in soils. They are helpful in decomposition of waste, producing biofertilizers.Indian scientists have investigated the gut of earthworms to get an insight into why they are so efficient in helping decomposition. They have found that the gut of earthworms provides an ideal environment for nurturing a variety of cellulose-degrading bacteria because of which they are able to convert organic waste from plant sources into fertilizer or compost.

A team of scientists led by Dr. Narayan C. Talukdar at the Institute of Advanced Study in Science and Technology in Guwahati, studied two types of earthworms—those which are found on the surface of soil (Perionyx excavatus or composting earthworms) and those found under the soil (Glyphidrilus spelaeotes or semi-aquatic freshwater earthworms). Bacteria drawn from the gut of earthworms were cultured and separated on the basis of their rate of growth and general structure.

7

According to results published in the journal Current Science, the use of a technique called ‗16S rRNA gene-based taxonomic analysis‘ revealed distinct composition of cellulose-degrading bacteria specific to each type of earthworm.

The rate at which cellulose was broken down by an enzyme (cellulase) found in these gut bacteria was much higher than that found in Cellulomonas cellulans, a bacteria whose distinguishing feature is breaking down of cellulose and was used as a reference for the study.

This was clear from higher amounts of carbon generated from earthworms vis-à-vis Cellulomonas cellulans after 20 days of decomposition of rice straw in its natural environment.

Source: Flickr Further analysis also revealed that the growth rate of cellulose-degrading bacteria in semi-aquatic freshwater earthworms was much faster than composting earthworms thus, making them more efficient decomposers of rice straw.

The earthworm gut hosts many microorganisms. Earthworms eat plants, which contain cellulose (a complex sugar) as an important part of a plant cell wall. Cellulose-degrading bacteria in the gut of earthworms break it down into carbon, hydrogen and oxygen which make up most of the soil organic matter. ―Knowledge on occurrence and screening of efficient cellulose-degrading bacteria within the gut wall of earthworms may help in efficient cycling of organic residues either in field conditions or in the compost-making process,‖ pointed out Dr. Talukdar.

8

In rice growing tropical and sub-tropical regions, cellulose-containing rice straw remains in the field after harvesting and needs to be decomposed quickly for efficient release of nutrients. In the summer to winter rice-cropping system prevalent in North East India, summer rice straw needs to be recycled 20 to 30 days prior to transplanting of winter rice.

It has however, been reported in previous studies that the freshwater earthworm in submerged rice fields can decompose rice straw under the favourable temperatures of July–August but, the cycling of winter rice straw in field condition is slowed down due to low temperature in winter months.

The other members of the research team were Kishore K. Dey and Fenella M. W. Nongkhlaw (Central Agricultural University, Umiam, Meghalaya). This research was funded by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, New Delhi.

Pasta diet could bring on menopause faster, say researchers

BY BRINKWIRE ON MAY 2, 2018US

A study shows those who go through the menopause early are prone to heart disease, while those who do later are prone to cancer.Eating oily fish, peas and beans could delay the menopause, while eating more rice and pasta could bring it on faster, a study has found.According to researchers at the University of Leeds, an additional portion of refined white pasta or rice a day could lead to women reaching the menopause about one-and-a-half-years earlier.

9

It comes after the study, published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, took data from about 14,000 women in Britain and followed up with a survey four years later. They found more than 900 participants between the ages of 40 and 65 experienced a natural start to the menopause during that time, at an average age of 51-years-old.

1:09But scientists found diets could determine its timing and that it could have ―serious health implications for some women‖.Refined carbohydrates were found to increase the risk of insulin resistance which could interfere with sex hormones and boost oestrogen levels, increasing the possibility for an earlier menopause.The study showed those who go through the menopause earlier were more prone to developing osteoporosis and heart disease, while those who do so later than usual were more likely to develop ovarian, womb and breast cancers.

Image: Those who ate oily fish like mackerel tended to have a delayed menopause Co-author of the study Janet Cade said: ―A clear understanding of how diet affects the start of natural menopause will be very beneficial to those who may already be at risk or have a family history of certain complications related to menopause.‖An extra daily serving of oily fish – such as mackerel,

10

sardines and salmon – was linked to a menopause delay of more than three years. Omega 3 fatty

acids found in the fish are thought to stimulate antioxidant capacity in the body.

Diets high in fresh legumes such as peas and beans – which contain antioxidants – saw women reach the menopause about a year later on average.

1:03 The researchers said a higher intake of zinc and vitamin B6 also appeared to slow down the onset of the menopause.

Egypt allows cultivation of more 100k feddans of rice By: Egypt Today staff Egyptian farmers sowing rice seeds in a paddy field in Qalyub in Al-Qalubia governorate - REUTERS

Wed, May. 2, 2018

CAIRO – 2 May 2018: Egyptian government agreed to increase the area allocated for rice cultivation by 100,000 feddans only this season, bringing the total area of rice cultivation to 820,000 feddans, Abdel Latif Khaled, head of irritation sector in the ministry of irritation and water resources. Khaled said that the new areas will be cultivated as experimental fields using high productivity seeds, noting that they will be irrigated by agricultural drainage water. It comes following a recent ministerial decision to reduce the area cultivated by rice from 1.1 million feddans last year to only 724,200 feddans.

In April, Egypt's parliament passed a law banning the cultivation of some crops that require a large amount of water, amid fears that building the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) would cut the country's share of the Nile. The Parliament also approved the government request to amend some provisions in Agriculture Law No. 53 of 1966.

12

Article 1 in the Agriculture Law refers that the minister of agriculture shall determine the areas to cultivate certain crops, and shall ban other crops in certain areas. Hence, the draft law to amend Article 1 of the Agriculture Law stipulates that the minister of agriculture in coordination with the minister of irrigation shall issue a ministerial decree to ban the cultivation of some crops in certain areas that have low amounts of water, in order to rationalize water usage.

Egypt annually needs at least 105 billion cubic meters of water to cover the needs of more than 90 million citizens. However, it currently has only 60 billion cubic meters, of which 55.5 billion cubic meters comes from the Nile and just less than five billion cubic meters comes from non-renewable subterranean water in the desert. The remaining 80 billion cubic meters are covered by the reuse of wastewater.

In 2011, Ethiopia started the construction of the 6,000-megawatt Renaissance Dam over the Blue Nile River, one of the major sources of water that forms the Nile River downstream. Concerns have risen in Cairo and Khartoum over the negative impact the Ethiopian dam will have on their historic Nile water shares. https://www.egypttoday.com/Article/2/49137/Egypt-allows-cultivation-of-more-100k-feddans-of-rice

Rice Imports to Cool Philippine Inflation, Economic Planner Says

By Claire Jiao and Clarissa Batino

13

May 2, 2018, 2:00 AM GMT+5 Philippine inflation will ease from a five-year high once lawmakers approve a measure that will allow more rice imports, giving authorities scope to delay an interest rate increase, according to a senior economic planner.Inflation that climbed to 4.3 percent in March will cool by at least 1 percentage point once a law limiting overseas purchases of the nation‘s staple grain is amended by Congress by the end of the first half of the year, Economic Planning Undersecretary Rosemarie Edillon said in an April 27 interview in her office in Metro Manila.

Rosemarie Edillon Photographer: Leody P. Barcelon/NEDA Some economists are of the view the central bank should refrain from raising interest rates to see if lawmakers can pass the law on rice by June, Edillon said, citing discussions at the April 24 meeting of the Development Budget Coordination Committee. President Rodrigo Duterte last week backed the removal of import limits on the grain to boost stockpiles that were depleted. ―A 25-basis-point hike could stall growth,‖ said the 53-year-old economist who gave up a job in Australia to join the government in 2012. Edillon, who‘s not involved with the monetary policy making, stressed that while the central bank supports growth, it is independent and may have other factors to consider. The economy likely expanded close to 7 percent in the first quarter, she said.

Read: Depleted Rice Stockpiles, Surging Price Spur Philippine Imports Cost of rice, the second-biggest component in the Philippine consumer basket, is at a three-year high as supply dwindled, adding to price pressures from a tax reform that boosted costs of fuel and sugary drinks. Central bank Governor Nestor Espenilla, who‘s kept the benchmark rate steady, prompting some to observe that he was behind the curve on inflation, said on April 24 that the economy can withstand any tightening, signaling he‘s ready to raise if necessary.

14

Edillon believes that inflation related to the tax reform has peaked in March and any pressures are likely to come from oil, rice and other items. Data due May 4 will show consumer prices probably accelerated to 4.5 percent in April from a year earlier, according to the median estimate of 12 economists surveyed by Bloomberg.

Price of Protectionism Import quotas make rice prices in the Philippines much higher than world prices Sources: World Bank, Philippine Statistics Authority Philippines currently limits rice imports to a volume identified by the National Food Authority, which prioritizes buying from local farmers. The arrangement, which the World Trade Organization had been pushing to end, not only limits rice supply but also boosted domestic prices to twice the world prices.

Enabling a market-driven importation slapped with at least 35 percent in tariff will boost the supply of the grain and cut retail prices by as much as 7 pesos per kilogram from 44 pesos a kilogram, Edillon said.

To retain the rice restrictions, introduced in 1996, the Philippines had allowed the entry of more meats and other items to pacify trading partners, Edillon said. If the government fails to pass rice reform by June, Edillon said trading partners such as Australia, Canada and the U.S. could push for even more concessions in other agricultural products.

The state-run food agency subsidizes rice farmers by buying their output at high prices and selling them low to poor consumers.―Assuming that you have 2.1 million families depending on rice farming, we are 22 million households in all in the Philippines that have to pay the high prices,‖ Edillon said. ―It‘s too lopsided.‖ https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-01/jokowi-s-war-on-inflation-puts-populismfirst-reform-second

Industry status for rice sector can lift export by 30pc Salman Abduhu May 02, 2018LAHORE

- The Rice Exporters Association of Pakistan (REAP) has asked the government to

16

declare the rice sector as an industry and provide it all incentives in line with other five zero rated export sectors. The step to declare rice sector an industry would benefit with 30 percent higher exports (additional $500 million) by saving post-harvest losses (20 percent) and increasing exports to high-valued destinations by 30 percent.

REAP chairman Samee Ullah Naeem said that government's support and investment in holding foreign exhibitions should be made a policy to brand Pakistani basmati rice the world over. ―The second largest export-oriented sector of rice, with its more than $2 billion annual export, is still striving for its recognition as an industry. The fragmentation in supply chain partners, including farmers, millers and exporters poses a bigger challenge. The issue at farm levels poses threat for export destinations while the local millers that handle 70 percent of paddy, are ignorant of good milling and storage practices which deteriorates the grain quality, resulting in lower export,‖ he said.

REAP chairman observed that the competing countries, including Thailand, India, USA, Brazil, had recognised their rice sector as an industry that benefitted with the formulation of policies to increase yields at farm levels and improvement the quality for exports.

He said that the current fragmentation of sector is a barrier to development. He said that declaration of rice sector as an industry would help in the formation of consolidated policy that will help in the integration of all supply chain stakeholders into one chain.

Industry is the production of goods and services within an economy, which is divided into three categories, including prime (extractive), secondary (manufacturing) and tertiary (services). In developed economies, the agriculture falls into primary (extractive) form of industry where agriculture inputs and mechanics are engaged for achieving high yielding agricultural outputs. ―The rice sector has all parameters to fall into ―food industry‖ wherein the purpose is to raise crop yields through mechanised farming and to improve sanitary and phytosanitary standards for its marketing into developed high revenue economies,‖ he added.

He said that the process of finished rice starts from paddy procurement. The paddy is procured and dried and then kept under silos for effective storages. The paddy is then cleaned, husked, polished, graded and then packed for exports. The value-addition of rice ranges from 100% to 140%. The paddy of basmati is procured at $450/ metric ton while it is exported at around $1000

17

PMT. The long grain paddy is procured at $200 PMT and is exported at $400 PMT. Some of the rice like parboiling and steaming are exported at around $1200 PMT. He said that Pakistan's share in overall basmati export has gradually decreased compared to India, mainly due to the bigger crop size in the neighboring country, and government support to farmers to keep growing the variety while focusing on crop yield with subsidized inputs.

Samee Ullah said that India is more organised, while in Pakistan individual millers try but remain inconsistent either due to lower international prices, product quality and lack of support from the government to establish brand image.

He believed that a diverse product range, including the export of rice, would help Pakistan tap international markets and increase its foreign exchange earnings. He said that Pakistani rice has been exported to more than 100 countries of the world, expressing the hope that this trend will continue with the same zeal in future.

Rice exports soar to $1.5bn May 02, 2018 ISLAMABAD: Rice exports from the country during the first nine months of 2017-18 increased by 27.67 per cent as compared to the corresponding period of last year.

From July-March 2017-18, about 3,132,997 tonnes of rice worth $1.494 billion were exported versus 2,681,253 tonnes valuing $1.17bn in the same period last year.

According the latest data released by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, basmati rice exports from the country also grew by 19.13pc as 332,179 tonnes of basmati rice costing $348.558 million exported during the last nine months as against exports of 302,339 tonnes at $290.897m in the corresponding period of FY17.

During the period under review, about 2,800,818 tonnes of rice others then basmati were exported and earned $1.148bn as compared the exports of 2,378,914 tonnes valuing $897.804m of same period last year, showing an increase of 30.49pc.

Meanwhile, the country earned $315.497m by exporting about 130,148 tonnes of fish and fish preparations, which was recorded at 105,039 tons at $275.807m in same period of 2016-17, the data show.

18

During these nine months, food group exports from the country grew by 28.06pc as different food commodities worth $3.431bn were exported versus $2.679bn in the corresponding period of last year.

On a monthly basis, food group exports also registered a growth of 70.73pc during the month of March as compared to exports in the same month of 2016-17. In March food commodities worth $589.122m were exported as against $345.051m in the corresponding period of last year.

NFA rice import rebid set Friday May 03, 2018

The National Food Authority (NFA) will reopen this Friday offers from the governments of Vietnam and Thailand for the government-to-government importation of 250,000 metric tons (MT) of rice.―We would have wanted to do this earlier but representatives of the two suppliercountries asked for time to prepare the necessary documentation and consultation with their respective authorities. April 30 and May 1 are holidays in Vietnam, hence they asked for at least two days to handle their documentation and coordination requirements,‖ said Jason Aquino, NFA administrator.

NFA‘s bidding last week for the said rice imports failed as offers from Vietnam and Thailand were higher than the agency‘s reference price of $483.63 per MT for the 50,000 MT of 15 percent broken rice and $474.18 per MT for the 200,000 MT of 25 percent broken grains.

NFA said the new reference price will be based on the prevailing world market price the day before the opening of price offers. The price will also take into consideration the prevailing peso-dollar exchange rate during the same period.Arrival schedule of the imports will also be adjusted to give the supplier-countries enough time to comply.

For the new tender, the arrival of 100,000 MT 25 percent broken rice will be set not later than May 31; another 100,000 MT 25 percent broken rice will have to arrive not later than June 15; and the 50,000 MT 15 percent broken rice must arrive in the country not later than June 30.―We are optimistic we will succeed in the second round of offers for the 250,000 MT NFA rice imports,‖ Aquino said.

As it builds up the buffer stock for the lean months this year, the NFA is preparing for the procurement of another 250,000 MT of rice but this will be under an open tender. Supply could come from any country, either private or government sector.

During the lean months of July to September, rice is minimal or zero as it is also the season when strong typhoons hit the country.

The total volume for the said importation will be divided into 9 lots to be delivered in 14 designated discharge ports across the country including Poro Point, La Union; Batangas; Subic; Tabaco; Iloilo; Bacolod; Cebu; Tacloban; Zamboanga; Cagayan de Oro; Surigao; General Santos City; Davao City and Manila. Interested suppliers may acquire bid documents at the NFA‘s special bids and awards committee secretariat in its central office in Quezon City until May 21, 2018 for a payment of P75,000 as bidding documents fee.

As part of its disaster preparedness program, the NFA stockpiles rice and prepositions stocks in its 15 regional and 89 provincial offices, stored in more than 300 warehouses, to be able to quickly respond to any rice requirement for relief operations by government relief agencies, local government units and even non-government units wanting to help ease the plight of calamity victims. http://www.malaya.com.ph/business-news/business/nfa-rice-import-rebid-set-friday

IRRI, PhilRice ink deal for robust rice variety

By Jasper Y. Arcalas May 2, 2018

THE International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) said it has partnered with the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) to push for higher adoption rate of climate change-resilient rice

22

varieties among farmers in Region 4A to improve their productivity and cut weather-related losses.

In a news statement on Wednesday, Irri said they are currently working with PhilRice Los Baños Station ―in accelerating the adoption of next-generation varities for smallholder farmers in Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon provinces.‖ The partnership between the two agencies is through the NextGen project spearheaded by the Los Baños-based IRRI, which seeks to promote new rice varieties to Filipino farmers. ―We have good-quality varieties, which, coupled with mechanization and good farming practices and technologies, will boost rice production and improve the lives of farmers in the region,‖ PhilRice Los Baños Branch Director Rhemilyn Relado was quoted as saying in the statement.

The NextGen project was able to distribute 100 bags of NSIC Rc302 to farmers who attended PhilRice Los Baños Station‘s Lakbay Palay held recently, according to IRRI. NSIC Rc302, commonly known as Tubigan 25, is an IRRI-bred variety intended for irrigated lowlands. The rice variety is ―characterized with extra-long and slender grains, fair brown rice and milling recovery, and improved eating quality,‖ according to IRRI. ―We hope that through this activity with PhilRice LB, NextGen will be able to spread IRRI-bred varieties further and realize our goal of making high-yielding and climate change-resilient varieties more available to our farmers,‖ IRRI assistant scientist Lorraine Cappleman said.

Lakbay Palay is a regular activity organized by PhilRice, an attached agency of the Department of Agriculture, which seeks to introduce farmers to better varieties and improved farming practices in the field, according to IRRI. https://businessmirror.com.ph/irri-philrice-ink-deal-for-robust-rice-variety/

UC Davis Medal being awarded

COURTESY John and Lois Crowe

By Amy Quinton, UC Davis News Service POSTED: 05/01/18, 11:09 AM PDT | UPDATED: 1 DAY AGO

COURTESY Michael Chapman

UC Davis is honoring four people with its UCD Medal, the highest honor the university bestows on individuals.

Michael W. Chapman, UC Davis alumnus and chairman emeritus of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at UC Davis Medical Center; John and Lois Crowe, pioneering scientists and philanthropists; and Gurdev Khush, professor emeritus of plant sciences, will all be recognized for their extraordinary personal achievements and contributions to the ideals of higher education on which UC Davis was founded.

First presented in 2002, the UC Davis Medal recognizes individuals of rare accomplishment ―to be heralded today and in perpetuity‖ as special members of the UC Davis community. Past honorees include such well-known individuals as former President Bill Clinton, artist Wayne Thiebaud, and Robert and Margrit Mondavi.

24

Chapman, considered one of the founders of modern trauma surgery, is the first medical doctor to be honored with the UC Davis Medal. Chapman‘s groundbreaking work earned the UC Davis Medical Center‘s trauma service an international reputation. The Michael W. Chapman Emergency and Trauma Center, which includes the region‘s only Level I trauma center for adults and children, is named in his honor.

Chapman is an alumnus of American River College and UCD. He received his medical doctor‘s degree from UC San Francisco. His research career focused on the treatment of trauma and the use of bone-graft substitutes for bone loss. He holds eight U.S. patents, and has authored 169 publications including the four-volume Chapman‘s Orthopaedic Surgery, considered a definitive text on orthopaedic surgery.

Michael Chapman is the first medical doctor to be honored with the UCD Medal.

While chairman of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at UCD and a leader on the trauma team, he improved recovery times and outcomes for thousands of patients with severe fractures.

Since retiring in 2000, Chapman has been a strong philanthropic leader for UCD and has served as chairman of the UCD Foundation. Despite having won numerous national awards in his field, Chapman said being honored with the UCD Medal is especially significant. ―UC Davis is dear to my heart,‖ said Chapman. ―This award is very special to me, in that it recognizes work outside of my professional field. That kind of peer recognition from people who are not surgeons is especially meaningful.‖ John and Lois Crowe worked as a research team and were instrumental in helping UCD become one of the top rated biological science programs in the nation.

John is professor emeritus of molecular and cellular biology in the College of Biological Sciences. He earned his doctorate from UC Riverside. Lois received her doctorate from UCD and was a biophysicist in the Departments of Zoology and Molecular and Cellular Biology before retiring.

The two are known for their pioneering work toward understanding how some organisms survive extreme drying. Their discoveries about how these organisms use a simple sugar called trehalose to preserve their integrity in the dry state led to inventions that are in widespread use in pharmacy, medicine and agriculture. For example, their work has enabled the drying of fragile drugs, human cells, foods and plants. Human platelets can be stored dry, improving their storage life from just five days to at least two years. ―They are a faculty member and an alumna of UC Davis whose accomplishments in research have brought international acclaim to the university and whose inventions have had a major impact on society,‖ said Mark Winey, dean of the College of Biological Sciences.

The Crowes have also made substantial volunteer and philanthropic contributions to UCD. Both are founding members of the Davis Chancellor‘s Club and the Mondavi Center Volunteer Advisory Board. Lois was also a UCD Foundation trustee from 2009 to 2015.

25

Khush is perhaps best known for his work with the International Rice Research Institute, where he spearheaded the program for developing high-yielding and disease- and insect-resistant varieties of rice.

Khush graduated from Punjab Agricultural University in India and earned his doctorate from UC Davis. During his 35-year career at IRRI, he helped develop more than 300 innovative rice strains, including IR36. That strain, released in 1976, became the most widely planted food crop the world has known.

Khush, considered one of the heroes of the Green Revolution, will receive the UCD Medal.

Owing in large part to Khush‘s contribution, world rice production increased from 257 million tons in 1966 to 718 million tons in 2011. Khush is considered one of the heroes of the Green Revolution. In recognition of his achievements, he was awarded the 1996 World Food Prize.

Khush has been honored with virtually all of the top international agricultural prizes, but he said receiving the UC Davis Medal means a great deal. ―It means so much,‖ said Khush. ―I could not have accomplished what I have without the training I received at UC Davis.‖ UCD Chancellor Gary May will present the UC Davis Medal to recipients during a gala on June 8 at the Sheraton Grand Hotel Sacramento.

Legislators vote to nullify wild rice sulfate standard If signed into law, faces likely lawsuit Wednesday, May 2, 2018 5:35 pm Marshall Helmberger REGIONAL— The fate of Minnesota‘s longstanding wild rice standard for sulfate discharges has taken another step closer to potential litigation. Both the Minnesota House and Senate have now approved legislation that would nullify the existing standard of 10 milligrams per liter and prohibit the state‘s Pollution Control Agency from implementing a new equation-based standard that had been in the rulemaking process.

MPCA Commissioner John Linc Stine announced late last week that his agency was withdrawing its proposed new standard and that his staff would work with the Legislature on a path forward. An administrative law judge had earlier disallowed the proposed new standard, citing a laundry list of problems with it.

26

Representatives of the mining industry and some municipal wastewater treatment operators, particularly on the Iron Range, have strongly opposed enforcement of the existing wild rice standard for years, and have fought the adoption of the new equation-based standard as well, mostly over the cost of compliance.

But state-funded research has bolstered the claim that wild rice is sensitive to sulfate levels in water, and that research could pose a hurdle to the Legislature‘s desire to scrap the bill. Paula Maccabee, attorney for Duluth-based Water Legacy, said any move by the Legislature to scrap the wild rice standard without a scientifically valid proposal to replace it would likely be rejected by the federal Environmental Protection Agency. If not, Maccabee says her group would almost certainly take the issue to federal court. She said under the Clean Water Act, states can‘t arbitrarily weaken pollution standards that have been proven to be scientifically justified and have been previously approved by the EPA. The issue has been a thorny one for more than a decade. While the wild rice standard dates back to the 1970s, it was rarely enforced until tribal governments and environmentalists began pushing the MPCA to act. As the agency slowly began the process of enforcing the longstanding rule, the MPCA faced political pushback from the mining industry and Iron Range legislators who argued that enforcement could make taconite producers uncompetitive in the global market.

Iron Range legislators backed the latest push to nullify the wild rice standard. Senators Tom Bakk, of Cook, and David Tomasonni, of Chisholm, were among a handful of DFLers who voted this week in favor of the Senate‘s version of the repeal, which passed 38-28. Representatives Rob Ecklund, of I-Falls, and Jason Metsa, of Virginia, voted for the House bill earlier in April.

A spokesman for Mark Dayton said the governor is still reviewing the legislation. http://www.timberjay.com/stories/legislators-vote-to-nullify-wild-rice-sulfate-standard,14073

Premier welcomes climate-resilient rice Sum Manet / Khmer Times The Cambodian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI) has developed a rice variety better adapted to withstand the drastic changes in weather patterns seen in Cambodia in recent years.

Prime Minister Hun Sen broke the news yesterday during the closing ceremony of the Ministry of Agriculture‘s annual conference.

Baptised ‗Mey Tey‘, the new rice is a premium fragrant variety that can reportedly survive severe draughts and floods, which have become more common in the kingdom in recent years, Mr Hun Sen said.―We haven‘t tasted it yet, but I believe it will be a success,‖ he said.

27

―It can withstand extreme changes in temperature,‖ he said, explaining that some of the rice varieties Cambodian farmers are using struggle to survive in the hot weather of recent weeks.

Hun Lak, vice president of Cambodia Rice Federation, said the work of CARDI in developing new rice varieties is now more important than ever due to climate change. ―It is essential to work on new rice varieties given how drastically the weather is changing. All our neighbours are also working on this type of research,‖ Mr Lak said. ―We need new rice varieties that can help us increase yields and keep up the price of the commodity. If we don‘t undertake this type of research, we run the risk of not being able to produce enough rice to meet market demand.‖Cambodia‘s exports of milled rice fell by 3.4 percent during the first three months of 2018, dropping to 161,115 tonnes. https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50485907/premier-welcomes-climate-resilient-rice/

Earthworm gut may offer new ways of efficient recycling of organic waste Monika Kundu Srivastava @monikaksrivast1 | Wednesday 02 May 2018

Earthworm gut provides an ideal environment to nurture a variety of cellulose-degrading bacteria because of which they are able to convert organic waste from plant sources into fertliser

Earthworms are considered best friends of farmers, acting as engineers in soils. They are helpful in decomposition of waste, producing biofertilisers.Indian scientists have investigated the gut of earthworms to get an insight into why they are so efficient in helping decomposition. They have found that the gut of earthworms provides an ideal environment for nurturing a variety of cellulosedegrading bacteria because of which they are able to convert organic waste from plant sources into fertilizer or compost.

A team of scientists led by Narayan C. Talukdar at the Institute of Advanced Study in Science and Technology in Guwahati, studied two types of earthworms—those which are found on the surface of soil (Perionyx excavatus or composting earthworms) and those found under the soil (Glyphidrilus spelaeotes or semi-aquatic freshwater earthworms). Bacteria drawn from the gut of earthworms were cultured and separated on the basis of their rate of growth and general structure.

28

According to results published in the journal Current Science, the use of a technique called ‗16S rRNA gene-based taxonomic analysis‘ revealed distinct composition of cellulose-degrading bacteria specific to each type of earthworm.

The rate at which cellulose was b

roken down by an enzyme (cellulase) found in these gut bacteria was much higher than that found in Cellulomonas cellulans, a bacteria whose distinguishing feature is breaking down of cellulose and was used as a reference for the study.

This was clear from higher amounts of carbon generated from earthworms vis-Ă -vis Cellulomonas cellulans after 20 days of decomposition of rice straw in its natural environment.

Further analysis also revealed that the growth rate of cellulose-degrading bacteria in semi-aquatic freshwater earthworms was much faster than composting earthworms thus, making them more efficient decomposers of rice straw.

The earthworm gut hosts many microorganisms. Earthworms eat plants, which contain cellulose (a complex sugar) as an important part of a plant cell wall. Cellulose-degrading bacteria in the gut of

29

earthworms break it down into carbon, hydrogen and oxygen which make up most of the soil organic matter. ―Knowledge on occurrence and screening of efficient cellulose-degrading bacteria within the gut wall of earthworms may help in efficient cycling of organic residues either in field conditions or in the compost-making process,‖ pointed out Talukdar.

In rice growing tropical and sub-tropical regions, cellulose-containing rice straw remains in the field after harvesting and needs to be decomposed quickly for efficient release of nutrients. In the summer to winter rice-cropping system prevalent in North East India, summer rice straw needs to be recycled 20 to 30 days prior to transplanting of winter rice. It has however, been reported in previous studies that the freshwater earthworm in submerged rice fields can decompose rice straw under the favourable temperatures of July–August but, the cycling of winter rice straw in field condition is slowed down due to low temperature in winter months.

The other members of the research team were Kishore K Dey (University of Hawaii); Dwipendra Thakuria and Fenella M W.Nongkhlaw (Central Agricultural University, Umiam, Meghalaya). This research was funded by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, New Delhi.
