Vocabulary Words:

1. Genome- The haploid set of chromosomes in a gamete or microorganism, or in each cell of a multicellular organism.

2.Pooled- A small area of still water, typically one formed naturally.

This current event is about, how scientist have research the rice plant, and have found out that it makes more genes then, humans do, and is a plant that feed about half the worlds population.

I think that's really amazing how a small plant can do such thing, and how it can feed more than a billion people a day!! Amazing plants
