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,

Why can flying snakes fly? Scientists uncover the mystery
You may find it hard to imagine how snakes, which have neither wings nor wing-membrane-like appendages, can "fly" like birds. Yet scientists have found that some snakes not only fly, but are masters of flight. Flying snakes generate power by shaking their ribs. Jack Socha of the University of Chicago in the United States has been studying snakes' flying ability for 8 years. Recently, Socha revealed in a professional journal the reason flying snakes are so good at flying. He said: "Although flying snakes lack wing-membrane-like appendages,

Insect-resistant potato bred first by Belarusian scientists
Scientists from the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus have announced a new research achievement: they have bred the world's first potato that can automatically kill pests. According to a report by Russia's Interfax news agency on August 7, to date, a pest known by the scientific name Colorado potato beetle has been the biggest headache for farmers, because it destroys large areas of potato fields every year and causes huge economic losses to agriculture. A new type of genetically modified potato recently bred by Belarusian scientists can specifically poison this beetle to death. A

Biotech pigs capable of producing a cerebral thrombosis treatment drug have been successfully bred by South Korean scientists
South Korean scientists have successfully bred "biopigs" that produce a cerebral thrombosis (cerebral hemorrhage) treatment drug through their urine. The South Korean Rural Development Administration recently stated: "By injecting the genetic gene for treating cerebral thrombosis (TPA) into pig fertilized eggs, we successfully bred 4 pigs that can excrete cerebral thrombosis treatment substances through their milk and urine." South Korea has become the world's second country after the United States to breed, through genetic modification, animals capable of producing cerebral thrombosis treatment substances. The United States, in 1997, through genetic modification technology,
