Dr Daniel Waters PhD(SCU) Rice quality is controlled in large part by genetics. Dan is working with rice breeders to develop further our understanding of the genetic control of rice quality. By finding the genes which control quality we will be able to breed new high quality rice varieties more quickly and efficiently.
