"Golden Rice" contains daffodil genes that increase vitamin A content.
Golden Rice is a type of rice (Oryza sativa) that has undergone genetic engineering in order for the edible parts of the rice to biosynthesize beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A. The goal is to create fortified food that can be grown and eaten in regions that lack dietary vitamin A. A lack of vitamin A results in xerophthalmia, which includes permanent blindness as well as a variety of eye conditions ranging from night blindness to more serious clinical outcomes like keratomalacia and corneal scars. Additionally, it raises children's mortality risks from both diarrhea and measles.
