Chapter 0071 - Finding a Solution
(The front has been sealed for two chapters in a row.,Let's wait for tomorrow to release it.) In order to ensure follow-up, tomorrow's chapters will be released first)
Chen Cheng was somewhat disappointed as expected.
Yuan Lao's speculation was correct, and the application of mineral operans to hybrid seawater rice aggravated its poor taste traits.
That is, the mineral organiser transports more minerals into the rice. And rice doesn't store a lot of water to dilute it like tangerines do, and there is no sugar to cover it.
As a result, the taste of seawater rice was "improved" by him so that even pigs could not eat it.
What a failure.
After being stunned for a while, Chen Cheng withdrew from the system and extracted the simulation data just now to the computer.
"Whew~ Calm analysis and analysis." He admonished himself in his heart.
Scientific research is like this, there is a place to learn from failure.
According to the systematic analysis just now, the problem mainly lies in the expression of dominant traits and disadvantaged traits of hybrid seawater rice.
Why can the salt-source mandarin be improved after grafting, but the effect is not obvious after seawater rice crossing?
Could it be a problem with the technical approach?
Thinking of this, Chen Cheng suddenly discovered that there was a huge logical difference between the rice hybrid and his last top grafting!
Rice hybridization is a combination of the genetic material of two varieties of two varieties that receive gold through pollen. However, apical grafting only grafts specific dominant traits on the apex of tangerine, and there is no problem of genetic material combination.
Rice crosses to achieve the selection of dominant traits and the combination of genetic material, this technology itself is not a problem, and it is also recognized by agricultural scientists around the world.
But the problem lies in the gene expression of seawater rice.
After continuing to study for more than an hour, Chen Cheng straightened out the problem of seawater rice and summed up two solutions.
The first is to completely abandon the mineral operanin and use genetic improvement and recombination to directly extract the salt-alkali tolerance genes of wild seawater rice and combine them with super rice.
The second is to continue to think of the problem of removing mineral salts and transporting them to rice in the current first-generation seawater rice plants.
The first solution is more straightforward, and now that the super agricultural technology system has been upgraded, genetic recombination should be possible.
He can even produce brand-new rice seeds directly in the super agricultural technology system.
But the question is... The technology is too advanced to be displayed.
Only by continuing to start the next generation of seawater rice research with Yuan Lao and his team, and gradually moving in this direction, can we study it logically by spending a generation of experimental rice cultivation time.
The second solution is to figure out how to prevent mineral operans from concentrating inorganic salts on rice.
Chen Cheng thought about it and opened the research materials again.
Generally speaking, the components in rice are water, carbohydrates (including starch, cellulose, hemicellulose and soluble sugars, etc.), proteins, lipids (including fats and lipids), minerals and vitamins.
Minerals in rice are mainly found in the husk, embryo and cortex, while the endosperm is very small. And just now the system has analyzed that the mineral content of seawater rice after adding mineral transporter is as high as 10%!
There are many minerals, and the taste is naturally rough and difficult to swallow.
Transfer? Where to move?
Chen Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of the scene in the 3D virtual experiment just now, where the mineral transporter carried those minerals to the leaves and grains of rice.
Rice leaves?!
Chen Cheng excitedly called up the system.
"First, we simulated the growth process of the mineral operanin being absorbed by the first generation of seawater rice from the rhizome, and then simulated the growth process of the seawater rice leaves and ears after spraying the nutrient solution containing the mineral operanel."
【Okay】
The supercomputer of the Super Agricultural Technology System is a really good thing, the simulation does not consume prestige, and the results are very fast.
According to its computing power, it is equivalent to Chen Cheng having a Galaxy 10 supercomputer cluster in his head.
The supercomputer immediately began to simulate, first by adding the mineral Operan nutrient solution to the irrigation water.
Chen Cheng saw that in this way, more minerals were gathered in the rhizomes of seawater rice, and more mineral salts in the soil were absorbed into the seawater rice plants, and within 3 days, the seawater rice plants actually withered.
The results don't need to be analyzed, just pass.
The second method is to spray the mineral operant on the ears of seawater rice. The effect of this analysis is the same as Yuan Lao's prediction before, and the effect is very poor.
The effect of spraying the mineral operanel only on the leaves of seawater rice was beyond Chen Cheng's expectations.
The operants concentrated on the leaves do carry most of the mineral salts to the rice leaves, and even the excess mineral salts in the rice ears are transferred to the leaves.
But within five days, the rice leaves had wilted.
"And so it was!"
Chen Cheng was not annoyed, but even more excited.
At least he saw a little hope - the minerals on the ears of rice were reduced!
He continued to observe and found that after the leaves withered, the growth of the rice was affected, and the rice ears were only half stiff, and none of them were very full.
"What is the yield of this experiment?"
[350-400 kg per mu]
If the leaves wither, there will naturally be no basis for photosynthesis to produce starch and other substances, and the yield reduction is inevitable.
"This is lower than the expected yield of seawater rice without added minerals by Yuan Lao! It's almost time to catch up with the weed production! ”
With such a low yield, it will definitely not work.
"The leaves withered... The leaves wilted..."
After pondering and repeating it a few times, Chen Cheng suddenly had an idea.
"What if we used auxin to extend the time of the leaves by a few more days?"
Generally, the irrigation stiffness period of rice is 10-15 days, but the simulation experiment just now shows that the leaves wilt appeared on the 5th day.
As long as the leaves of seawater rice persist for another 5-10 days, won't this problem be solved?
Anyway, it's a simulation test that doesn't consume reputation points, so let's try again!
Isn't scientific research the result of repeated experiments?
Among the members of auxin, the main physiological role of cytokinin is to promote cell division and prevent leaf senescence.
The senescence and yellowing of green plant leaves is due to the breakdown of proteins and chlorophyll in them. Cytokinin, on the other hand, maintains protein synthesis, which keeps leaves green and prolongs their lifespan.
Chen Cheng immediately asked the supercomputer to start simulating the addition of different amounts of cytokinin at the same time as the addition of mineral operanin.
A minute later, the supercomputer gave the answer.
[After spraying 5% concentration of mineral operanin and 3% cytokinin to the leaves, most of the minerals in the seawater rice plant can be transferred to the leaves, and the seawater rice leaves can maintain the normal green leaf effect for 12-15 days]
"It's done!" Chen Cheng said excitedly.
