As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 107 Sea Rice

The Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the outside world seem to be two worlds.

The Huaguo Academy of Agricultural Sciences is located in Zhongguancun, Haidian District, and the outside is full of high-rise buildings.But the building of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is very short, and there are 79 hectares of experimental farms inside.

With 79 hectares in Haidian District, one hectare is equal to [-] square meters. The experimental farm is simply not too extravagant.

But there are very few staff inside, but after Jiang Yan came, there were more staff.The old people here wonder why they have so many faces.

After communicating with Jiang Yan last time, and then he himself found that the seeds Jiang Yan picked out seemed a bit strange, and Dong Wenxu began to be interested in work.

Previously he was working by command and discipline, now he is working out of interest.

Later, the Institute of Agricultural Sciences transferred another [-] people to their team, and Dong Wenxu found that all those who had a little research on agriculture and seeds were transferred.

Jiang Yan's team already has more members than researchers in many institutes under the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

With more people, a lot of work can be distributed, and a lot of work that should have been put behind can be brought forward.

As Dong Wenxu came first, he became the liaison of the team, and of course he still had to work.

Today's work is aimed at understanding specific modules of GM soybean at developmental stages, including regulators of hormone signaling pathways and transcription factors.

"You are responsible for the analysis of the transcriptome, and then Lao Zhao, you make a two-dimensional data set of the materials they analyzed."

"Then we will make a pairwise comparison and build a dynamically expressed gene network platform to facilitate subsequent soybean seed gene analysis."

"At the same time, the co-expression gene module and the hub gene module of each module have been determined recently."

Dong Wenxu and the researchers said.

Research on soybeans has been going on all the time. In 2010, foreign countries completed the sequencing of the whole genome of the soybean type Willimas82.

Foreign seed industry giants are far ahead of Huaguo in the field of genetically modified seeds.

As for the team led by Jiang Yan, their idea is to use special abilities to overtake on curves.

They don't need to sequence one by one, what genome-scale technologies, like microarrays, cDNA sequencing, etc., have been used to isolate genes and reveal regulatory networks.

They didn't need these genomic approaches to identify key genetic bottlenecks that manipulate the number and size of soybean seeds.

They only need to find out the gene mutation fragment in the seeds screened by Jiang Yan, and find out what good traits this fragment has.

Then, through technical means, all the excellent traits are combined on one seed, and this seed is the seed they finally cultivated.

It would take five to ten years for Monsanto to come up with hundreds of researchers. Jiang Yan led a hundred people to do research on seeds of dozens of crops at the same time, and it took half a year to come up with it.

Jiang Yan was deeply moved by the magic brain's improvement in the efficiency of seed cultivation.

If he had this kind of technology back then, he would have bred better quality hybrid rice long ago.

During this period of time, Jiang Yan himself was mainly working on the improvement of hybrid rice, and he had already bred hybrid rice and seawater rice with better quality and more in line with the needs of the market.

In fact, the advantages of hybrid rice have been declining in recent years, from nearly 80.00% of the planting area in those years to 50.00% in recent years.

特别这两年是一直在降的，19年种植面积138万亩比18年降低了18%，20年种植面积是115万亩，又降低了17%。

Conventional rice has been making progress over the years, and the advantages of hybrid rice over conventional breeding rice are not obvious enough, and hybrid rice is not progressing fast enough.

In terms of economic benefits, conventional species are even slightly better, because conventional species produce less but sell at higher prices.

Therefore, Jiang Yan re-optimized the most commonly grown hybrid rice on the market in terms of taste, yield, and fertilizer absorption rate.

The bred sea rice also fully meets the requirements. These two methods are also based on a large number of genetic mutations, screening for excellent varieties, and then crossing with excellent traits to produce the best seeds.

"We can send people to get relevant research materials and seeds, and we can prepare for promotion."

In Huaguo Seed Group Co., Ltd., they got the seeds sent by the Ministry of Agriculture, saying they were the latest research results of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences.

"This is only recently developed by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. It can achieve a yield of [-] kilograms of seawater rice per mu in a saline-alkali underground with a salt content of [-] percent."

"I hope you will prepare for large-scale promotion after verification!" The person in charge of giving the seeds said it was someone from the Ministry of Agriculture, but the actual identity was from the Bureau of Abnormalities.

Chen Jingrui, the deputy general manager of the Seed Group, opened his eyes wide: "Three percent? Are you sure you're right? Isn't it three percent?"

The other party replied with certainty: "That's right, it's three percent."

"Six hundred kilograms per mu?"

Chen Jingrui was born in agriculture, and he also went to the fields many years ago. He also knows about sea rice. After repeated confirmation, he picked up the seeds and thought to himself, "Who put the satellites in md?"

"Isn't it fooling the Ministry?"

"If this is so awesome, it should be on the news in the morning."

The best seawater rice in Huaguo before can only maintain a high yield per mu in saline-alkali land with a salt content of [-] per thousand.

Because the saline-alkali land in Huaguo is low, like the Northeast, the salt content is also about 16 per thousand.In high places, such as Guangdong and Hai, the salt content is even [-] to [-] parts per thousand.

Therefore, although the sea rice that has been developed before, although the media has reported many breakthroughs, it is still far from the reality of large-scale promotion.

There is a gap between the careful cultivation of researchers in the experimental environment and the large-scale sowing in reality, not to mention the fact that the experimental environment only supports a salt content of [-] per thousand.

Chen Jingrui was dubious about the seeds sent by the Ministry, what is the concept of [-]%?The country's saline-alkali land can be promoted on a large scale, and there is no regional difference.

Many places in foreign countries will rush to buy the seeds of this kind of sea rice. If it is really [-] kg per mu, the salt content is [-]%.

The role of sea rice is not only to produce, but also to improve the soil environment. Many abandoned old industrial areas in Europe and the United States can be alleviated by large-scale planting of this saline-alkali land.

At the same time, many ecologically fragile saline-alkali lands can be improved to plant more economically beneficial crops.

Chen Jingrui sent it to the laboratory of Huaguo Seed Group, and asked them to conduct experiments in a simulated saline-alkaline environment, which could ripen him and get the answer as soon as possible.

If it is true, then the economic benefits contained in it are huge, which can completely bring Huaguo Seed Company's performance this year to a higher level.

Now after the reform of state-owned enterprises, many things are linked to performance, and central enterprises are no exception.

Everyone is looking for a job to find a profit point. Without profit, there is nothing.

Of course, state-owned enterprises like Huaguo Seed Company, which is positioned as a public welfare state-owned enterprise, have lower requirements than commercial state-owned enterprises.

The lower requirements here mean that the state has lower requirements for their profit assessment. For example, the profit requirement of public welfare state-owned enterprises is 1 million or even no profit, and the profit requirement of commercial state-owned enterprises is 10 billion.
