Rice grains, supposed to date back to about 3,000 years ago at Den Citadel relic site in Hanoi’s Me Linh District, are in fact a current rice variety, scientists said at a seminar held by the Agricultural Genetics Institute on Tuesday.

AND analysis indicates that the rice grains are completely similar with Khang Dan, a current rice variety, said Dr. Luu Minh Cuc from the institute.

    Interesting that they have got it to sprout.
    What’s the latest age for the Borneo rice, e.g. Gua Sireh? Is it still dated from 2300BC (Nature 1995).
