(FILES) -- This undated file handout picture released by International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) shows GM (genetically-modified) rice -- newly-developed "golden rice". In 1992, scientists thought to insert genes into rice that would boost its vitamin A content, so tens of millions of poor people who depend on rice as a staple could get a vital nutrient, potentially averting hundreds of thousands of cases of blindness each year. The idea for what came to be called "golden rice" -- thus named for its bright yellow hue -- was proclaimed as a defining moment for genetically-modified food. Yet the rice is still a long way from appearing in food bowls -- 2016 has become the latest date sketched for commercialisation, provided the novel product gets the go-ahead.
