Immediately afterwards, Yang Zhou selected another academician to ask questions.

Is this academician engaged in increasing grain production, or is he doing soybean research?

"Hello Professor Yang, I am Tian Zhixi from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Academy of Sciences, doing soybean research, and I published a paper in Cell last year, and the number of citations of 'Pan-genomeofwildandcultivatedsoybeans' has reached hundreds!" Tian Zhixi introduced.

After saying this, he straightened his waist and looked around.

Many people look at Tian Zhixi with some envy, in fact, even academicians may not have many papers published in the three major journals.

Yang Zhou is relatively calm, he has little interest in journals now.

Publishing in top journals is, to put it bluntly, to brush up on academic prestige and gain popularity at home and abroad.

In China, professors have top journals by their side, which represents their academic ability, and they can apply for more funding and improve their professional titles.

Professors also want to go further, whether they are serving or being academicians, they need more academic papers from top journals.

Published top journal papers, it means that you are an expert in this field!

Nature has become a symbol of strength.

But Yang Zhou has not published any other papers since he first published two top papers on mutant radish, mutated rice and genetic code.

With these two papers, Yang Zhou became famous overseas and attracted countless biologists to gather in China.

The prestige and reputation are almost at the top, and it may be a bit unworthy of the name when he received the medal at the beginning, but with the fact that he later conquered cancer, he was completely in the status of a supergod.

Now in Yang Zhou's mailbox, there are countless top journal manuscript requests, but Yang Zhou doesn't pay attention to them at all.

He couldn't publish the research on cancer plants, and many other results were not interested in publishing, and the journal was no longer attractive to Yang Zhou.

It doesn't even matter if the Nobel Prize is awarded to him or not, if the Nobel Prize is ignored to him in a few years, it is not that Yang Zhou does not meet the conditions, but the loss of the Nobel Prize, and the authority will even be damaged.

Tian Zhixi's paper Yang Zhou had read it, nodded and said, "I have read the paper, let's talk about your problem!" ”

Seeing Yang Zhou's urging, Tian Zhixi's mood quickly disappeared, and he asked honestly: "That's right, our team conducted in-depth resequencing and population structure analysis of 2,898 soybean germplasm materials from the world's main soybean producing countries, and carefully selected 26 of the most representative soybean germplasm materials, including 3 wild soybeans, 9 farm varieties and 14 modern cultivars. ”

"Finally, the in-depth sequencing and population structure analysis of high-quality soybean varieties were completed, and the average length of contigN50 was 22.6Mb, and the average length of scaffoldN50 was 51.2Mb......."

Yang Zhou said impatiently: "Be specific, talk about the problem!" ”

There are too many people today, and time is tight, so I'm not interested in listening to nonsense.

Tian Zhixi's words were held in his throat, and he didn't dare to choke, and said helplessly: "We found that the structural variation of the HPS gene can regulate the change of the brightness of soybean seed coat, but unfortunately, we have not found the gene to increase the yield, I would like to ask Professor Yang Do you have any research on soybean genes, can you make some suggestions?" ”

Yang Zhou naturally has not studied soybeans, but it is too simple to improve the current soybean genes.

"How much time did you spend researching this project?" Yang Zhou asked.

"Well, 5 years!" Tian Zhixi said a little proudly.

This is a speed that fills the gap in domestic science and technology and deserves praise from countless biologists.

Tian Zhixi was a little proud.

Yang Zhou shook his head and said: "If it is me, the deep sequencing of the gene can be completed in a month, and the functions can be figured out. ”

Tian Zhixi lowered his head in shame, and countless biologists looked at it gloatingly.

"I don't know about soybeans, but if you want to figure out the genes that increase soybean yields, you just need to use YZ bacteria and do a lot of experiments."

"However, before you can experiment, you need to learn the gene code theory that I have summarized."

"When you learn, it is estimated that you will be able to produce results in 2 months at most, and you will be able to carry out planting experiments."

Tian Zhixi couldn't wait to find a crack to get into, he knew that he wouldn't mention the publication of Cell, I heard that Yang Zhou had been rejected by Cell's sub-journal before, and he wouldn't be affected by the pond fish, right?

Yang Zhou obviously doesn't have so many ideas, he just reminds everyone that the changes brought about by technology are subversive, and everyone can't hold the old ideas.

Then Yang Zhou took the opportunity to popularize the gene code theory with everyone, and with the study of more and more plants, Yang Zhou's theory was also more perfect.

Now I have been in contact with advanced genetic plants, and when it comes to basic plants, I am more handy.

"Whether it is soybean, wheat, or rice, the oil, starch, fiber, carbohydrates or various trace elements produced by plants are similar, and we can understand that their operating systems are roughly the same, but some functional gene codes are different."

"In the future, I will disclose the detailed explanation of the genetic system of rice in a small range, and according to the detailed explanation of the genetic system of rice, you can distinguish which ones are the basic growth systems, and which codes are changed to increase the yield of rice, so the corresponding soybeans and wheat should also be harvested, and all of this can be verified by YZ bacteria!"

"For example, for an ordinary grain production increase project, I will guide you at most, because it is too simple, and the specific research will be carried out by different project teams." Yang Zhou said.

The biologists who were already studying the increase in the yield of various grains suddenly became happy, and with Yang Zhou's experience and guidance, it seemed that they would soon be able to produce results.

Next, Yang Zhou answered a lot of questions from scientists, some of which he didn't know either.

For example, the team that researched the gene editor, Yang Zhou was not prepared to let them stop researching, YZ bacteria is actually a gene editor, but Yang Zhou didn't know how YZ bacteria were designed.

If geoscientists can successfully study the new gene editor, Yang Zhou can also learn and improve.

At the end of the morning meeting, the questions were answered, and in the afternoon there was a discussion on how to allocate the project team.

There is a more acute question involved, that is, who is willing to follow Yang Zhou to do research.

You must know that the people here are all big bulls, and they originally brought the experimental team to let them take refuge and be a soldier here in Yang Zhou, and many people will not be comfortable.

Yang Zhou just tried it, in case that academician was willing to follow him, even if a few professors were willing to help him do research.

The minimum goal, of course, is to let these people give him some of the calves below.

When I had dinner with Zhou Guoqiang at noon, the two were discussing the content of the afternoon meeting.

Zhou Guoqiang witnessed the scene of Yang Zhou instructing all biologists alone in the morning, and he had a better understanding of Yang Zhou's technical strength, especially Yang Zhou said lightly that it was too simple to increase grain production, and he was too lazy to do it.

It is even more admired by Zhou Guoqiang!

It seems that the boss put him in charge of this new organization, which is to brush up on the results, and in a few months, it will definitely cause a sensation all over the world!

"Yang Zhou, what kind of people do you want, I will coordinate with you, and I have answered a lot of people's questions today, are there any people you value, I will communicate with them in private, see if you are willing to follow you to do research and development, I will do the work." Zhou Guoqiang said with a smile.

What Yang Zhou wants to develop next is iron-based plants, and then use the advanced genes of genesis mushrooms and fire plants to create a new type of material plant.

Not only can you improve the strength of Huaguo science and technology, but you can also hang up to the system mall to earn experience points.

Small projects, his interest is not particularly large.

Even desert plants, which are now actually normal plants in the earthsphere, can be handed over to some teams to study separately and be guided by Yang Zhou.
