A 3,000-Year-Old Pea Could Solve India's Inflation Woes

A scientist examines a transgenic pigeon pea plant growing inside a biosafety glasshouse in the Platform for Translational Research on Transgenic Crops (PTTC) department of the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) in Patancheru, Telengana, India, on Friday, July 8, 2016. On a campus in southern India, a team of biologists are perfecting a recipe that may solve the nation's inflation woes. By adding a gene to the pigeon pea seed's DNA, they hope to make it pest-proof, boost output by 30 percent and help reduce dependence on imports in a country that's both the world's biggest producer and consumer of dry legumes, also known as pulses.
