What are the latest rice breeding technologies? A full analysis of the world's cutting-edge methods
Research on salt-tolerant rice breeding The aims of this research are: 1. To enable new salt-tolerant rice to adapt to cultivation in saline-alkali land. 2. To make full use of seawater irrigation when freshwater is scarce. Abroad, there have been reports of salt-tolerant crops such as tomato, melon and barley. Salt-tolerant rice bred by the University of Sussex in the UK can grow vigorously in the field, but the complexity of regulating salt content in the field must be recognized. Research on genetic engineering of salt-tolerant rice is quite active in the UK. Researchers insert genes from salt-tolerant rice into rice,

The world's first cloned dog has been born
South Korean scientist Hwang Woo-suk revealed in the recently published issue of Nature that his research team successfully produced the world's first cloned dog, Snuppy. Cloned dogs have always been a difficult challenge in the field of cloning technology. The reason is that dogs have only 2 estrus cycles per year, and waiting for a dog to ovulate naturally is the only way to obtain its eggs. Moreover, when a dog ovulates, the eggs released by the ovaries are at an early stage of development, and only mature at the end of the fallopian tube, so successfully extracting high-quality dog eggs is quite difficult. Cloned dogs are of great value in medical research
