Chapter 1218: Hybrid Rice
The city of Indochina Peninsula, even if it is into November, is also a warm and moist, the average temperature is above 20 degrees, warm and comfortable, in the wilderness, Yang Rui with his researchers, is doing the collection of rice seeds, he has been from a few years ago, just from the study abroad back, just mastered the most preliminary experimental methods of young scholars, and gradually grew into a qualified scientist, his innovative ideas are not forward-looking, but better in a solid foundation, with the help of Yang Yuanzhao, The world's most advanced research equipment has been obtained, and through the all-in-one machine, some technical equipment that can only be found in later generations has been developed.
Although Yang Rui is not as legendary as Truss, he is also a qualified scholar, with Yang Yuanzhao beside him, he is an industrial engineer, but the name of hybrid rice, he still knows, TV and consulting have been introduced one after another, and he still knows that the concept of hybrid rice in the future generations is nothing more than the use of the characteristics of different species to carry out a certain genetic cultivation, as long as the investment is large enough, the variety is enough, and some means will be greatly improved.
In this, the whole world is still only in the initial stage of agricultural research, in genetics, species, paternal and maternal parents have not been widely recognized today, just by virtue of this, Yang Rui can become a master in the field of plants, not to mention, there is an unimaginable financial support in the northwest.
Yang Yue led the Botanical Research Institute, and under the guidance of Yang Yuanzhao, he has embarked on a new path, no longer relying on the previous technical system, but instead studying the collision of genetics, using a variety of paternal and female parents to produce better quality seeds. The most important hybrid rice. The research was not completed, but it was the result of a phase. It has brought China's rice to a higher level. With regard to grain production, China is already on the right path.
Yang Yue, as a rare discipline leader in Northwest China, was not able to lead a group abroad alone in the past, and his safety must be ensured, and if something happened to him, it would be a devastating blow to China's agricultural research.
There is no field survey, no field data collection, just a part of the individual plants. There is no way to continue, no, in Lanfang occupies the Indochina Peninsula, and the safety there is not completely guaranteed, Yang Rui applied to the northwest and asked to go to the Indochina Peninsula, which is located in the tropics, and it is a traditional rice country, and there are many varieties of rice. Even in the wild, there are some unique wild rices.
Yang Yue's enthusiasm is very high, and he is also recognized by the upper echelons, as a close comrade-in-arms of Yang Yuanzhao and Liu Shu. As the most important scientist of Chinese agriculture, it seems that Yang Rui is free to search for vegetation in the wild, but everywhere he goes. All were arranged in advance, with at least one regiment of guards. Scattered in all directions.
For this, Yang Yue has long been used to it. In recent years, China has developed faster and faster, especially in the territory, throughout Southeast Asia, China, and even Siberia, among the tropical, temperate, cold, polar and other different biological varieties, to select suitable varieties for the cultivation of agricultural products, for a botanist, it is simply an indescribable temptation, especially China, a country with an agriculture-oriented tradition.
From the very beginning, the agricultural problem, to be precise, the food problem, is the focus, take Mongolia, the future solution to Siberia, this place, is not very suitable for human habitation, they produce food, I am afraid that even the people living on it can not feed, but the more extreme the place, their biodiversity is completely different from others.
In order to find the genetic map, looking for organisms in some harsh places, for example, the trench as deep as 10,000 meters, on the polar mountains, an important breakthrough in the human genome work that shocked the world is the discovery of heat-resistant bacteria, which was found in the alpine hot springs at an altitude of several thousand meters. It can replicate a small amount of gene fragments that cannot be extracted, which completely solves the problem of gene application, not only the police will use PCR to analyze the case, the doctor will use it to analyze gene defects, genetics to analyze blood relations, and the researchers amplify the gene fragments, in short, the number is extremely amazing.
In agriculture, unique and unique organisms play an important role in hybridization, and perhaps a more distant copy and mother parent can retain enough performance indicators to produce more outstanding biological seeds, which is no longer a slow choice on the original basis.
Yang Yuanzhao also called out the basic principles of hybrid rice, of course, if you want to find real, usable hybrid rice, you still need more research to be able to get results, in this case, it takes time, maybe a year or two, maybe ten or twenty years, which not only requires scientific research, but also a little luck.
However, Yang Rui is already on the right path, under the mention of Yang Yuanzhao, searched for all rice types in China, from the northeast of the north country, to the warm south of the Yangtze River, a large number of plants through the arrangement and combination, found out a certain law, the northwest rice yield began to have a significant increase, in the resistance to diseases and pests, disasters and many other aspects, there are also many advantages.
Now, the rich Southeast Asia, completely in the hands of Lan Fang, tropical vegetation, grow more vigorous, more variety, especially Champa rice, as early as hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, on these basis, the development of a series of rice varieties, greatly enriched the male and female database, the most important thing is that Southeast Asia is in the tropics, is the best breeding location, under the condition of three crops a year, you can complete the definition of heredity and permutation and combination faster.
Science is like this, especially in cutting-edge scientific projects, which is to keep moving forward in the dark, looking for the road again and again, not everyone is lucky to be able to find the right path, failure again and again, summary again and again, find out the failure, increase the probability of success, this is the same method now and for a long time in the future.
Hybrid rice has not been successfully found, or rather, successful hybrid rice has not been found, in fact, the rice hybridization between different paternal and female parents is bound to be hybrid rice, but the purpose of hybridization is to increase yield, and Yang Yuanzhao did not take the standards of later generations to measure the rice of this era, after the efforts of Yang Rui and the Northwest Institute of Agricultural Sciences, the average yield per mu in the whole China has reached about 500 catties, which has been the result of the use of chemical fertilizers and intensive cultivation.
Hybrid rice, Yang Rui can not make its yield per mu reach the level of tons of grain fields in later generations, but the most basic yield increase of 30% is a hard index, which represents a qualitative change in seeds, and a little improvement, at most, is only an improvement, which can not achieve Yang Yuanzhao's purpose.
Because of this, Yang Yue and his researchers began to work hard, and even some by-products of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Dongfeng No. 123, Xingwang No. 123, Yaxin No. 123, these rice varieties for different purposes, continue to increase the total yield of rice in China, but the most is only 7%, and there is still a way to go from 30%.
The progress of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences, in addition to the military and ships, Yang Yuanzhao is most concerned, but he did not urge, science and these things, especially agricultural science, are absolutely impatient, in case of urgency, and finally come up with a four-like out, it will really outweigh the loss.
The all-in-one machine can be modified at the atomic level, which is a shocking artifact for inanimate things, minerals, materials, etc., but for biological materials, it is completely impossible, and the improvement of species will take a long time, and it will take a long time to carry out in the right direction, which has little to do with this.
Although Yang Yuanzhao is looking forward to hybrid rice can come out soon, but will not pull out the seedlings to help grow, left and right, now Southeast Asia is in the hands, with the huge arable land area of the entire Southeast Asia, hybrid rice is not particularly important, as long as the original improvement on the basis of the surface continues to improve, in the next few years, the pan-Chinese regional grain output will have a huge increase, which is at the threshold of the world war, quite critical, although the grain is easy to corrupt, but special storage, and even processing means, It can also allow the grain to be stored for a longer time.
One day searching, with the help of a large number of people, found several rice varieties near the city, these varieties will specifically enter the cultivation base to cultivate, divide, and enter the process of hybridization, which will be several generations, or even more than ten generations of cultivation, even under the condition of three crops a year, it will take several years, each generation of cultivation, to record data, and then from the countless possibilities, summarize the inevitable things, find the right way
Science needs this kind of persistence and prudence, these two points Yang Rui is not lacking, there is no breakthrough, maybe he can only rely on luck, fortunately, he is not in a hurry, in the Institute of Agricultural Sciences, not only there is the Champa Research Institute where he sits, Hainan, Kuala Lumpur, and even Manila, there are new research institutes, all kinds of carefully prepared paternal and female parents, all under the hard care of researchers, excellent growth, in the growth, flying hope.
It is this part of the focus and efforts, so that China's agriculture in the completely no foundation in the start, in 1908, Yang Yuanzhao just came to Baotou, the start is agriculture, the use of the United States of continental cotton, wheat is also the United States, after a few years, gradual improvement, and finally with their own research and development of seeds, instead of foreign imported seeds, but there is no own unique innovation, until the future, in the luck of the inevitable, hybrid rice research and development degree, set off a trend of Chinese crops, Food weapons have also become one of the most important weapons in China in the future, crisscrossing the world.
