Reply to comment by cupcakeraynebowjones in Scientists have created hybrid rice that can be propagated with high efficiency as clonal seed. This means the benefits of a high-yield hybrid can be kept from season to season without breeding new hybrids. by andyhfell

This doesn't mean all the rice in the world would be one clone. It would be easier and cheaper to produce multiple high-yield/disease resistant hybrids and make them accessible to farmers. They would need different varieties for different regions and markets, anyway.
