Another major problem: 40% of the world exist on rice Traditional edible rice contains no carotenoids This results in Vit A deficiency which can result in 1.Permanent blindness 2.Respiratory infections 3.Diarrhoea 4.Measles 5.Growth problems Two genes from the daffodil which code for the enzymes which produce beta carotenoid can be inserted into rice DNA which then grows containing beta carotene
