Giant embryo rice has entered the laboratory breeding stage
Red rice with anti-atherosclerosis properties and giant embryo rice with blood pressure-lowering functions have entered the laboratory breeding stage and are expected to reach consumers' dining tables in the near future. The "high-protein rice breeding" project undertaken by the Plant Molecular Genetics Laboratory of Shanghai Normal University has been listed as a key project of the Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission. Red rice is a natural colored rice that has anti-atherosclerosis properties and can enhance the body's antioxidant capacity. It is rich in bioactive substances such as carotene, flavonoids and alkaloids, as well as mineral elements including iron, zinc and calcium. Scientific researchers have combined high-protein

Millet diseases have entered the critical period for control, and prevention and control measures must be taken promptly now.
Recently, many farmers have reported severe millet diseases. Through our investigation, we found that most millet fields have mixed infections of several diseases, mainly a combination of millet gray leaf spot, leaf spot and blast, and the affected area is widespread. Farmers are reminded to take timely control measures. 1. Occurrence: The severity of disease varies among different millet varieties. According to the investigation, red millet and common millet varieties are more severely affected, while Zhangzagu No. 8 is less affected. 2. Symptoms: The disease infects the middle and lower leaves of millet plants, and no lesions were found on newly emerged leaves. The middle and lower leaves are densely covered with lesions. The lesions are initially small brown spots, then become oval or spindle-shaped, with a white center and reddish-brown edges. Some lesions also have a yellow halo.
