The Global Futures and Strategic Foresight (GFSF) team met in Rome from May 25-28, 2015 to review progress towards current work plans, discuss model improvements and technical parameters, and consider possible contributions by the GFSF program to the CRP Phase II planning process. All 15 CGIAR Centers were represented at the meeting.

C4 Rice
• In search of a novel solution for increasing global rice
supply*, IRRI is developing C4 Rice.
• Rice is naturally a C3 species with relatively lower
photosynthesis (PS) efficiency as compared to C4
species such as maize.
• C4 species compartmentalizes CO2 fixation and
processing in two different cells in order to avoid
wasteful binding of O2 on the Rubisco enzyme
*more than 100 million tons of additional rice is required by the year
2035 to meet the increased demand for rice

C4 rice module
Yin & Struik, 2009
C4 routine was adapted
from GECROS model

ORYZA C4 Rice Module
• C4 Photosynthesis with Farquhar approach
• Energy balance for transpiration and gas exchange
• N driven partitioning
• Non-linear phenology-temperature function
• N driven leaf and root senescence
10. C4 rice module vs. C3
Yin & Struik, 2009
Use all crop parameters of C3 rice;
C4 special parameters borrowed from sorghum
Transplanting system, same field management
Nitrogen supply limited in the same level
Potential water supply
No light competition yet
No pest & disease impact
67% increase in yield
50% increase in
Total above ground
biomass
13. • Submergence tolerant rice containing sub1 gene can
tolerate transient flash flood (1-2 weeks), whereas
rice varieties without sub1 gene can experience
severe yield loss under such condition.

Submergence Tolerant Rice
• Submergence sub-routine in ORYZA model is under
development with initial tests showing promising
results
• Field experiments were conducted to support model
development
• The mechanistic process will allow precise
quantification of yield loss considering interaction
between variety characteristics and duration of
flooding.

Upcoming Activities
• Incorporation of C4 module into DSSAT
• Finalizing C4 simulation results
• Continue development of submergence module
(target completion, 2016)
• Simulation of multiple abiotic stress such as
submergence, drought, and salinity (target
completion, 2016)
