ABSTRACT Atmospheric methane is the second most important greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide, and is responsible for about 20% of the global warming effect since pre-industrial times1,2.


Rice paddies are the largest anthropogenic methane source and produce 7–17% of atmospheric methane2,3. Warm waterlogged soil and exuded nutrients from rice roots provide ideal conditions for


methanogenesis in paddies with annual methane emissions of 25–100-million tonnes3,4. This scenario will be exacerbated by an expansion in rice cultivation needed to meet the escalating


demand for food in the coming decades4. There is an urgent need to establish sustainable technologies for increasing rice production while reducing methane fluxes from rice paddies. However,


ongoing efforts for methane mitigation in rice paddies are mainly based on farming practices and measures that are difficult to implement5. Despite proposed strategies to increase rice


productivity and reduce methane emissions4,6, no high-starch low-methane-emission rice has been developed. Here we show that the addition of a single transcription factor gene, barley


_SUSIBA2_ (refs 7, 8), conferred a shift of carbon flux to _SUSIBA2_ rice, favouring the allocation of photosynthates to aboveground biomass over allocation to roots. The altered allocation


resulted in an increased biomass and starch content in the seeds and stems, and suppressed methanogenesis, possibly through a reduction in root exudates. Three-year field trials in China


demonstrated that the cultivation of _SUSIBA2_ rice was associated with a significant reduction in methane emissions and a decrease in rhizospheric methanogen levels. _SUSIBA2_ rice offers a


sustainable means of providing increased starch content for food production while reducing greenhouse gas emissions from rice cultivation. Approaches to increase rice productivity and


reduce methane emissions as seen in _SUSIBA2_ rice may be particularly beneficial in a future climate with rising temperatures resulting in increased methane emissions from paddies9,10.
