Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
Qiao Lao is observing the rice seedlings in the cultivation tank, over the years, the grade hybrid rice cultivated by the teacher has been popularized throughout the country, this achievement has not only greatly alleviated the food crisis in China, but also has been recognized by the world.
Now that I have taken over the burden of my teacher, I am focusing on cultivating new rice varieties, and I have thought of many ways and used many methods, but the results of cultivation are not ideal.
Early this morning, Yang Dehuai of the Provincial Party Committee called himself and said that there was a problem with rice seeds in a village below LZ City, and he wanted to help him find out what the problem was! Looking at the time, they should be there too.
Qiao Lao returned to his office from the greenhouse, and as soon as he entered the hall of the office building, he saw three young people waiting there, one of them was Yang Dehuai's secretary Lin Qian, Qiao Lao also knew, and the other two might be the ones who brought rice seeds.
Seeing Qiao Lao, Lin Qian was about to say hello, but Qiao Lao waved his hand to stop him from opening and asked, "The problem seed was brought?" ”
"Brought!" Li Mu hurriedly said.
"Come with me!" Qiao Lao said very directly.
"You guys go old with Joe! I'm going back to my life! Secretary Lin Qian shook his head and smiled.
"Then thank you, Secretary Lin!" Li Mu thanked him.
"You're welcome!" Lin Qian said.
Li Mu followed Qiao Lao into his practical room with rice seeds, and Li Mu put the bag containing the seeds on the test bench while giving Qiao Lao a brief introduction to the anomalies they were experiencing.
After taking out the rice seeds in the bag and placing them on the real platform, Qiao Lao took out his reading glasses and brought them, carefully checked the seeds one by one, and the more he looked at Qiao Lao's face, the more strange the look became, "This is impossible!" ”
Gently peel off the shell of a rice seed, the milky white rice grains in the palm of the hand make Qiao Lao even more unbelievable, generally after the seed germinates, due to the need for nutrients in the sprout, the nutrients stored in the seed will be absorbed, and the embryo body of the seed will gradually lose its luster and then dry up, and some embryo bodies will even rot and deteriorate; However, the rice seed in front of him, although the color of the sprout is a little strange, is still within the scope of his acceptance, but it is still crystal clear, and the perfect embryo body breaks the scope of his research and cognition of rice seeds for decades.
Putting down this peeled seed, Qiao Lao took out another one from another open bag, and after carefully peeling it off, it was revealed that there was a black and swarthy rice grain inside, which should be a high mountain black glutinous rice seed, and after careful inspection, the embryo body was still intact; This made Qiao Lao even more interested in finding out, and then peeled off the other rice seeds to observe and compare.
There are peeled rice grains on the real platform, red, black, milky white, transparent, and the colorful germs coming out of the top of the rice grains, just like a work of art made by a computer.
Staring at these seeds on the test bench, Qiao Lao's heart was even more shocked at this time, "This... This... These are all mutated rice seeds! If these seeds are used to breed, a whole new variety of rice may be cultivated! ”
Qiao Lao turned his head and suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked Li Mudao: "Young man, did you deliberately select these rice seeds?" ”
Qiao Lao wants to understand these rice seeds, whether they are individual mutations or group variations, the degree of differentiation is to look at the thousandth ratio and percentage, if one in a thousand seeds appears, then it is an individual variation, if one in a hundred seeds appears, then it is a group variation; If this batch of rice seeds is a group variation, it will have the value of breeding research.
Hearing Qiao Lao ask like this, Li Mu was stunned for a moment and thought that there was really something wrong with these seeds, so he asked tentatively: "Old Qiao, this... This and the seed has... Does it matter? ”
"Yes, young man, I will sue you! These rice seeds you have sent, but the seeds have produced variability, and there is no problem with its quality, so you can plant it with confidence, but the yield of rice is not predictable, and you have to make your own decisions whether to plant or not; As for me, I just want to know what is the probability of mutation of these rice seeds! Qiao Lao explained.
"Oh... That's right! As long as we can plant, we can rest assured! These rice seeds were taken casually from the breeding pond, and we did not pick them, and because of the tight time, you can see that even the bags containing the seeds were found casually. Li Mu put his heart down and said.
"What...? You mean that the breeding pond in your village is full of this mutated rice seed? Qiao Lao asked in shock.
"It's... Oh, yes! The six breeding ponds of the five large and one small are all rice seeds of this situation! Li Mu said, but he was a little puzzled by Qiao Lao's shocked expression.
Even if these rice seeds are group mutations, Qiao Lao will not be surprised when such a situation occurs, but he heard that the young people said that the breeding pond in their village is full of such seeds; This shocked Qiao Lao all of a sudden, and the first thought that appeared in his mind was impossible.
"Really?" Qiao Lao asked again.
"It's true! All the paddy fields in our village are close to 5,000 mu together, and according to the calculation of one mu and five catties of rice seeds, it is conservatively estimated that it will cost 25,000 catties of seeds! Li Mu said seriously.
Seeing the serious look on the young man in front of him, Qiao Lao knew that what he said was true, and the excitement in his heart at this time was indescribable.
"Young man, in this way, all the rice seeds you brought this time will be left for me, and I want to continue to do real research to see what induces these seeds to mutate! Wait a while, you leave me your contact information, and I'll call you as soon as there is a new development here, what do you think? Qiao Lao thought for a while and said.
"It's a good rush! You are an expert in this area, and it is a great deal to have you to guide us! Li Mu said happily.
Out of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Li Mu couldn't wait to call Yunyi and said happily: "Taro, good news... Good news! I just came out of the real yàn room of Qiao Lao of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in the provincial city, and there is no problem with our rice seeds, we can continue to plant them, and we don't need to change the seeds! ”
"Hahaha! Good... Good...! Just have no problem with the seeds! Yun Yi also laughed happily when he heard the news.
"By the way, Qiao Lao said, our batch of rice seeds is caused by the variability of the seeds, and there is no problem in terms of quality, but the harvest of rice is not predictable, and he let us make our own ideas; Also, Qiao Lao didn't know what caused the mutation of these rice seeds, so he asked me to leave all the seeds I brought, ready to find out the cause of the mutation, and let us know if there was progress. Li Mu told Yun Yi the general story of the matter.
"Hmmm...! Whether to continue planting, when you come back, we will go to Uncle Da Shu and discuss it with the people in charge of the village. Yun Yi thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, Chen Ming and I will rush back immediately." Li Mu said.
After hanging up the phone, Li Mu got in the car and rushed to Hegu Village.
