Junks may not be totally useless if something is done to make them beneficial to man. 


One good example is the improved IR58025B where the IRBB lines of IRRI (International Rice Research Institute) were used as bacterial blight resistance gene donor.

                    [Summary] => 



The first biotech rice variety in the Philippines, released only recently by the National Seed Industry Council [NSIC] for commercial production, is now being produced in a large scale.


Called NSIC Rc142 or Tubigan 7, the new rice variety is the country’s first product of a mid-level biotech technique called marker-aided selection. It is resistant to the dreaded bacterial leaf blight (BLB) disease, which is serious during the wet season.
