Rice gene design breeding: scientists cultivate new varieties
The aroma of rice is richer, like fruit, with higher iron and zinc content, so there is no need to supplement other nutrients; all of this can be achieved through molecular design of rice genes. Recently, the author learned from the "Crop Molecular Design and Innovation" symposium that China is currently building a large bioinformatics infrastructure platform to ensure that high-quality genes are "hit every time." Zhu Yingguo, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that taking rice as an example, japonica rice with a soft and glutinous texture is more favored, and people also hope that rice aroma will be richer or have special aromas such as "fruity" notes. Moreover,

How to Choose Honeysuckle Varieties? A Full Analysis of Seed Selection Techniques
The scientific name of honeysuckle is Lonicera japonica, a semi-evergreen perennial twining vine shrub. It is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicinal herb, known as a natural broad-spectrum antibiotic. At the same time, honeysuckle can also be made into a precious beverage. In recent years, with the expansion of honeysuckle's application fields, its cultivation has moved from extensive management to concentrated operation, from a prostrate growth habit to an upright growth habit, and from one flower harvest per year to four flower harvests per year, greatly increasing yield and significantly improving cultivation benefits. At present, many places are introducing or expanding cultivation, but if variety selection is not taken seriously, the results will be contrary to expectations.
