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 • Permanent blindness • Respiratory infections • Diarrhoea • Measles • 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
