Climate-smart rice Jaspe in Chile

Jaspe, a new rice variety developed in Chile, can thrive in dry and cold environments, maintain yields in drought conditions, and reduce CH4 emissions. I want to know if it can also maintain good growth in dry and hot environments, or continue to produce abundant yields in variable dry and wet environments. The reason that I am thinking about this is that these two conditions are occurring quite frequently in Taiwan. As for the description of its yield, Jaspe produces 30 ears of rice. I would like to know if the number and weight of grains per ear of rice are the same as the ordinary rice it is compared with. If so, it really has 10 times the yield as it claims.

智利培育出來的新品種水稻 "氣候智慧型水稻" Jaspe,能在乾燥、寒冷的環境裡生長旺盛,在乾旱情況下維持產量,同時達到減排。不知道是否也能在乾旱炎熱的環境裡維持良好的生長,或是在多變的乾濕環境下繼續產量豐富。
至於其產量的描述,Jaspe產出30株稻穗,不知每株稻穗的穀粒數及重量是否和其拿來比較的一般稻米一樣多,如果是,那就真的如其所說有10倍產量了。
