'''Genetically modified rice''' are [[rice]] strains that have been genetically modified (also called [[genetic engineering]]). Rice plants have been modified to increase micronutrients such as [[Golden rice|vitamin A]], accelerate [[photosynthesis]], tolerate herbicides, resist pests, increase grain size, generate nutrients, flavours or produce human proteins.{{sfn|Sharma|Sharma|2009}}
''' often called [[horizontal gene transfer]] or lateral gene transfer, can also occur with rice through gene transfer mediated by natural vectors. [[Transgenesis|Transgenic]] events between rice and ''[[Setaria]]'' millet have been identified.{{sfn|Diao|Freeling|Lisch|2006}} The cultivation and use of genetically modified varieties of rice remains controversial and is not approved in some countries.▼
