Chapter 226: Genetic Engineering II

Plant genetic engineering, as the name suggests, is the genetic science engineering of plants, which is to use artificial methods to extract foreign gene fragments and carrier DNA from different organisms, cut them, splice and recombine them in vitro, and then take a certain method to introduce the recombinant carrier DNA with foreign genes into plant cells, and make them replicate and express in plant cells, so as to achieve the expected purpose of changing the genetic characteristics of recipient plant cells. This process www.biquge.info called plant genetic engineering.

However, plant genetic science is also part of genetic science anyway, and if you want to use genetic technology, you must establish a complete and large gene bank, which must invest a huge amount of money to achieve it, and there is no shortcut.

But fortunately, Zhu Lei used to buy the carbonyl biological gene enhancement liquid technology in the mall, which includes the biological gene decoding technology, after all, to make the gene enhancement solution, you must know the genetic code of the organism, if you don't even know the genetic code, how can you make the genetic enhancement and optimization solution of the organism! So gene decoding technology is a must.

And in addition to gene decoding technology, there are many genetic databases, although these genetic data are the genetic databases on the planet of the civilization that sells this technology in the mall, not even on their own planet, but these databases have helped Zhu Lei's plant genetic engineering a lot.

Although the gap between these genes and the genes of organisms on Earth is very large, after all, there is a control, and because of the gene decoder, it is much easier to decipher the genetic code of organisms.

You must know that genetic science is not an ordinary science, genetic technology is built on a huge database, if there is no database, then it is difficult to engage in gene technology.

And the gene decoder in the gene enhancement technology that Zhu Lei bought in the mall can quickly and effectively decipher the genes of organisms, especially the relatively simple technology, when Zhu Lei deciphered the human genes, it took a very long time, even if it has not been completed until now, you must know that the genetic code of human beings is a relatively complex project, even in the world of Zhu Lei's previous life, Its major powers have jointly deciphered the genetic code of mankind, and so far they have not completely deciphered all the genetic code of mankind.

And Zhu Lei has deciphered most of the human hunger gene code in just over half a year, and used it and can optimize the human gene so that it can now produce a genetic optimization liquid that can extend the human life span several times, it is conceivable that if the human genetic code is all deciphered, then the human life span can be extended to how many years, and now Zhu Lei is very much looking forward to it.

Although until now, the genetic code of human beings has not been truly cracked, and it will be more difficult in the future, but compared with humans of advanced intelligent creatures, the genetic code of plants is much easier to decipher.

Although the genes of the creatures on the earth and the extraterrestrial creatures mentioned above are very different, not to mention that they are no longer in the same universe, but fortunately, after more than half a year of hard work, many scientists from the scientific research center and the empire have worked day and night, and the results are very remarkable, because by now they have deciphered the genetic code of more than 50% of the most common plants on the earth.

Although the decipherment of the genetic code is a fairly large technology, mainly the collection of the database of the earth's organisms, it is the real problem compared to these later factories, that is, genetic recombination.

Genetic recombination technology is to use artificial methods to extract foreign gene fragments and vector DNA from different organisms, and then cut, splice and recombine them in vitro. But there are so many creatures on Earth. And now Zhu Lei's establishment of the earth's plant gene pool is quite large, and it will get bigger and bigger in the future, and the genetic code of animals will also be added to this huge gene pool in the future.

However, although genetic recombination is difficult, and the success rate is less than 1 in 10,000, there is no shortcut to gene technology, only honest and down-to-earth, and in order to accelerate the entire project, Zhu Lei also purchased five high-performance quantum computers from the military of the Ming Empire, after all, if there is no computer cooperation, genetic recombination does not need to be considered.

And even with a computer, it is a huge problem for whether plants can survive and evolve after genetic recombination, Zhu Lei originally wanted to see if there was a similar device in the mall, but Xiao Lori told him that such a device is already a device that can only be owned by intermediate civilizations, and it is impossible for primary civilizations to have such equipment, so Zhu Lei gave up his idea.

However, although you can't buy such equipment in the mall, Zhu Lei collects the evolutionary history of the earth, as well as the evolutionary laws of various animals and plants on the earth today, so Zhu Lei has developed a set of biological evolution and evolution computer software suitable for the earth, although this software is still very imperfect, but now it can do the most basic things, and with the increase of the database in the future, this software will be more perfect, and Zhu Lei knows the role of this software in the future, Zhu Lei believes that he will not be disappointed.

And Zhu Lei and the staff of the Plant Gene Research Laboratory have developed a gene optimization and enhancement solution specifically for plants, with the gene enhancement solution, the difficulty of genetic recombination of plants is much smaller, and some plants have enhanced vitality after gene optimization and strengthening, and become more adaptable to the desert environment, and now these plants in the simulated environment in the glass are all plants that have been genetically optimized, and now they seem to be growing very well, which means that Zhu Lei's idea has not been in vain.

Although this is not enough to see these plants in the real desert, after all, the environment in the laboratory is still not comparable to the real environment, so the next step is to take these plants to the real desert to test in the field.

However, Zhu Lei never wanted to go to the sky in one step and complete everything directly, after all, gene technology is a worldwide problem, and he can only take his time, and now he is very happy to have plant gene enhancement liquid.

The main purpose of Zhu Lei's coming here today is to collect the seeds of these genetically enhanced plants planted in the simulated environment in the laboratory, and then plant them in the field, and track and observe the data, so that they can continue to enhance the aspects that these plants lack in the future.

Of course, Zhu Lei didn't have to do these things himself, he just came to take a look, after all, plant genetic engineering is also a part of genetic engineering, and the proportion of this factory in Zhu Lei's future plans is quite large.
