9oo22[o]423 Chapter 896 The Struggle of the Seed "Please Ask for Monthly Pass Support"

Huishi Investment Group's planting base in Northeast China Research and Poverty Center is built on the belly of the base, covering an area of about 10,000 square meters. But in fact, the building area is very large, and the high-rise buildings with more than 20 floors have basically been put into use, and there are about 1,000 technicians and experts working in them.

"You have such a big research center? Prick said with some emotion.

Although I have always known that Fan Wuxi's career has done a lot, and I have also been to the headquarters in Beijing and Shanghai, I never thought that there would be such a large-scale planting base and research center in the Northeast.

"That is, it will be used," Fan Wuxian didn't say anything.

After everyone went in together. It is on the top floor of the research center building, which is also the location of the main control center of the entire base, and generally all important work is divided from here.

"What is your main research direction, and do you need so many people?" Zhangqi asked with some curiosity.

Fan Wuxian replied, "The main thing is food safety, you know, the issue of genetically modified food is hotter now." We're mainly doing some work on that

"Genetically modified food? Zhangqi nodded, indicating that she had heard of something.

In order to improve the nutritional value of agricultural products. To produce food faster and more efficiently, scientists apply genetically modified methods to change the genetic information of organisms and assemble new genes to make future crops have the ability to have high nutrition, storage resistance, resistance to diseases and insects and herbicides, and continue to produce new genetically modified foods.

There are many plant-based genetically modified foods, such as wheat that requires high protein content for bread production, and current wheat varieties have low protein content. The transfer of highly expressed protein genes into wheat will make the bread have better baking performance.

For example, tomato is a nutritious and economically valuable fruit and vegetable, but it is not resistant to storage.

In order to solve the storage problem of tomato fruits, researchers now believe that the enzyme gene that controls the synthesis of plant aging hormone ethylene is an important gene that causes plant aging, and if the expression of this gene can be inhibited by genetic engineering, then the biosynthesis of the aging hormone will be controlled, and the tomato will not be easy to become soft and rotten.

Through the efforts of many scientists in the United States and other countries, small China and other countries have cultivated such new varieties of tomatoes, which are anti-aging, anti-softening, resistant to storage, and can be transported over long distances, which can reduce waste in processing, production and transportation.

There are also many kinds of animal-based transgenic foods, such as human genes transferred into cattle, and the milk produced by cattle when they grow up contains gene drugs, which can be used for the treatment of human diseases after extraction. By adding the human auxin gene to the pig's genome, the pig's raw length has doubled, and the quality of the pork has been greatly improved, and the pork is now on the table in Australia.

Genetically modified food is a product created by using new technology, and it is also a new thing, and people naturally have doubts about the safety of eating genetically modified food.

In fact, the first person to publicly raise this question was Professor Pittay of the Aberdeen Roth Institute in the United Kingdom, who showed in his research the year before last that young rats eating genetically modified potatoes will damage their internal organs and fatigue system.

This has caused great concern in the scientific community. The report was reviewed by the Royal Society, which declared the study flawed in May last year.

But last year, the authoritative British scientific journal Nature published a paper by John Rossi, a professor at Cornzail University in the United States. It is pointed out that butterfly larvae and other beneficial insects in the field will not grow well after eating the leaves sprinkled with some kind of genetically modified corn pollen, and the mortality rate is particularly high, and there is some evidence that the potential dangers of genetically modified foods are also pointed out.

However, more scientists' experiments have shown that genetically modified foods are safe, and scientists who agree with this view believe that a large number of scientific tests have been carried out before any kind of genetically modified food is put on the market, and the state and government have relevant laws and regulations to restrict, and scientists also have a very rigorous academic attitude. In addition, farmers use pesticides to ensure the quality of traditional crops, while some genetically modified foods that are resistant to diseases and insects do not need to be sprayed with pesticides. In addition, whether a food will cause poisoning mainly depends on whether it has receptors in the human body and whether it can be metabolized. Therefore, GMOs do not accumulate in the human body and are not harmful.

"As far as I know, this technology is the world's top topic, does your research center also have the ability to do so?" Although it seemed a bit rude to ask such a question, Priki expressed a considerable degree of skepticism. Fan Wuxian laughed, "Although we started relatively late, we have been conducting research on related projects since three years ago. So far, some achievements have also been made. ”

Fan's investment group's research on genetically modified projects is mainly carried out from two aspects, one is that Fan Wuzhi himself does not trust the safety performance of genetically modified food, and the other is that although the planting base is mainly based on the production of green natural food, Fan Wuzhi also takes into account that once the national legislation is released to genetically modified food, then he must also have corresponding technology.

Scientific argument for genetically modified foods. Since the eighties, it has been entangled abroad, and a large number of scientific proofs have proved that genetically modified food is indeed harmful to the human body, and has substances that cause cancer to people, because the consequences of genetic modification of crops can not be controlled, and the earliest with dairy cows. The so-called genetically modified cows are the milk abundance Shichuan hormone, and the injected hormone can increase milk production, milk production can be increased by about 30%, but the life expectancy of dairy cows will be reduced by two years on average, and cows often suffer from breast cancer and other diseases.

This genetically modified cow is made clear by the American Monsanto Company, and the average Chinese of the Monsanto Company seem to be not very clear, during the Vietnam War, the United States ** thought that it fought against the jungle guerrillas, spreading poison every day, causing a large area of forest death, and this drug was prescribed by Monsanto, in fact, this medicine is a herbicide, called Nan agent.

The harm and impact of Agent Orange is so far-reaching that there has been no vegetation in those places for decades.

Monsanto is also a veteran company, with DuPont, Dow Chemical, and the foundation to support genetically modified technology is a foundation under Rockefeller, the institutions involved in the research include Monsanto, DuPont, Dow Chemical, etc., Monsanto has established a joint venture in China at this time, and the best-selling cotton seed new cotton tassel is developed by this company.

Monsanto's main goal now is to control China's seed producers, and even India's largest hybrid seed company has a joint venture with Monsanto. As for DuPont, there is no need to introduce more, people on the earth know, many people may not know that DuPont's pioneer seed company may not know, the seed of Pioneer Seed is the leader of the corn seed industry, the Northeast is the largest grain production base in China, and in the entire Northeast market, the corn seed of Pioneer Seed accounts for more than half of the market share, and farmers in Northeast China have to pay an advance payment to the company in order to buy American seeds, and it is sky-high, more than ten times higher than the domestic seed price.

The reason for such a big gap is that the corn yield of the seed produced by Pioneer Seed Industry is 20 or 30 percent higher than the average, and the survival rate is basically 100 percent.

Domestic corn seeds need to be planted in a nest with three to four seeds, while Americans can only plant one nest of seeds per seed. The yield has been improved, the efficiency has been improved, and the effect of disease resistance, waterlogging resistance and drought resistance is also very good, and the reason why there is such an advantage is because this magic seed is a genetically modified corn seed.

Some experts in the industry say that the female parent of this variety in the United States comes from China, and this is not impossible, because a long time ago the American Pioneer Company came to China to inspect and picked a few wild soybeans from China at the side of the airport, and the purity of China's wild soybeans is the highest in the world, and after taking back this soybean, they relied on this sample to change its genes to breed a new variety, and its characteristics of high oil yield and high disease resistance quickly conquered the world market, and the soybeans of the United States exported 37 percent of the entire grain exports. China is the world's second-largest importer of soybeans. This kind of soybean is also a genetically modified soybean launched by his company, and China's things are used by the United States to improve, and then use the government's high subsidies to dump in China, compared to China's soybeans are not only high in price, but also in poor quality, and are not at all the opponent of American soybeans.

At present, many domestic seed companies are facing an existential crisis and cannot compete with foreign seed companies in terms of competitiveness. Therefore, they have cooperated with the Western powers, and China's seed companies do not have advanced technology, and the actual control is in the hands of foreign companies, which means that most of the grain we eat, most of the oil we eat, is actually controlled by the Americans. Therefore, it has also been said that the real power to control our food, clothing, housing and transportation does not come from the government or the market, but from Wall Street in the United States. After briefly introducing the current seed market situation to Zhangqi, Fan Wuxian said to her, "In addition to the above bulk grain seed market, the vegetable seed market is also the world of foreign brands. Foreign brands account for more than half of the country's share, including tomatoes, eggplants, cucumber seeds, spicy seeds are all foreign brands in the world, such as the Dutch Britta eggplant seeds, a gram is sold for more than 100 yuan, a gram of eggplant seeds of domestic enterprises will be sold for a piece, whether it is cucumber, tomato, eggplant or something seeds, as long as it is a foreign brand selling is sky-high, can be compared with the gold price. ”

Shen Manhua also said to Zhangqi, "Most of the vegetable seeds come from Europe, and there are no genetically modified ingredients, which are ordinary hybrids." It can be eaten with confidence, but for the West, especially the United States, the purpose of cutting off China's seed and grain market is not simple. Once the food war starts, the advantage of being a crushing force may be reflected, but whether it is to seize power for profit or something else, the purpose of using genetically modified food crops to eat is more cold-blooded, and genetically modified seeds will cause long-term genetic contamination of the land. It will affect the traits of plants, and some of the effects after consumption may be latent in the human body for a long time. Causes serious damage to the weight loss.

"Our research center is private, open to the outside world, in fact, we just want to figure out one thing. Does the harm of genetically modified crops exist in the West, and how much influence does it have? In addition, if there is no harm, then we also need to have the ability to provide a large number of domestic seeds to resist the invasion of foreign seeds. Fan Wuxian said to Zhangqi.

"You guys are really respectable," Zhangqi said very seriously after hearing this. Many friends already have a second and third monthly passes, please try to support the little wolf, thank you. There are no pop-ups
