Now that both sides have talked about this, the confrontation is already on the table.

Chen Cheng's goal is simple, to keep the wheat production in Hanzhong Province this year, and to snipe the Kewei Group's operation.

Within two days, Han Qi sent someone to send wheat seedlings from Hanzhong Province.

Han Qi was very careful, and sent a total of five kinds of winter wheat with different degrees of damage, and packaged them independently of each other to prevent them from infecting each other again.

According to Han Qi, the five winter wheat grains represent five different damaged areas in Hanzhong Province, with the most serious being 1,200 mu and the other four adding up to more than 50,000 mu.

Chen Cheng immediately set about research, and he now scanned the most damaged wheat into the system.

If you can solve the most serious problem, then the others will be solved.

[Winter wheat was scanned, 91% of wheat rust bacteria were removed, and another sterilization pesticide application could be completely extinguished.] 68% of wheat page damage was detected】

The preliminary analysis results are given by the system.

"Simulate wheat growth and analyze yields."

【Okay】

Chen Cheng found that although the wheat could survive normally without the influence of rust, the traces left by the previous rust bacteria on the wheat leaves were always there, resulting in a significant reduction in the growth rate of the wheat.

After a while, the wheat produced ears until it finally turned yellow and withered.

[After the simulation is completed, due to the permanent damage caused by rust, the nutrients produced by the remaining leaves of wheat can only maintain the basic growth of wheat, and the yield is expected to be reduced by 57%]

"Permanent damage~" Chen Cheng frowned.

This is a serious problem!

Chen Cheng intercepted a fragment of the wheat growth process and then enlarged the wheat leaves.

He saw that the rust fungus had left many small black dots on the leaf, covering an area of more than 40% of the leaf.

Zooming in, in these black spots, although the wheat cells are still partially alive, all the chlorophyll in the surviving cells is decomposed.

That is, these leaf cells are not able to produce any energy, and they are constantly consuming energy.

It hurts.

Faced with this problem, Chen Cheng immediately thought of the wild seawater rice with the characteristics of leaf change that he discovered when he was studying seawater rice with Zeng Lao.

"If we let them grow new green leaves, will it solve this problem?"

Chen Cheng thought about it and immediately started the experiment.

He called up the wild seawater rice from the last time, extracted its leaf-changing features, and applied it to the wheat as a simulation condition.

【Simulation start】

Chen Cheng was excited and kept an eye on the growth of wheat.

After a minute, the simulation ends.

[Wheat production decreased by 27%]

“27%？！” Chen Cheng couldn't believe his ears.

He clearly saw that the wheat had produced 5 new leaves, and the growth was normal, why did the yield still decrease so much?

"What is the reason?"

[The growth environment of wheat and rice is very different, the growth period of wheat is longer than that of rice, and the growth and development rate is lower than that of rice, resulting in the nutrients consumed by the new leaves of wheat during the growth period exceed the nutrients it produces]

Chen Cheng roughly understood.

Or the reason for not being able to make ends meet.

He did observe that the new leaves of the wheat grow very slowly, and this is the difference. Rice grows quickly, and the new leaves are quickly ripe and begin to produce nutrients.

However, because wheat is a winter variety, it grows slowly, and it takes a long time for new leaves to grow to maturity.

Just after the wheat has just matured, the wheat ears have already been pollinated and developed.

"It seems that the method of changing leaves is no longer working!"

Chen Cheng sighed with emotion and began to think of other ideas.

This is the case when engaging in agricultural research, constantly trying, and never giving up.

After thinking for a while, Chen Cheng summed up the core of the problem, that is, chlorophyll.

The cells affected by the wheat rust fungus are still alive, but the chlorophyll is gone. Now he needs to find a way to restore their chlorophyll.

Chen Cheng magnified the black cells and looked at them carefully.

The reason why these cells appear a brownish-black color is because the spores of the fungus lodge in the cells after being killed.

He continued to magnify the cell and see the microstructure of the cell clearly.

The system is also very powerful, and the structure of wheat leaf cells is marked with different colors, which is even more vivid than in middle school textbooks.

Mainly, they're still growing. Chen Cheng could even see nucleotides in the nucleus.

As an agricultural technology student, Chen Cheng already knows how plant cells work, but he is also thrilled to see a living plant cell in such a subtle way.

Thrilled by the magic and tenacity of life.

In the microcosm that you said could not be seen, there were still many lives struggling to do so.

Plant cells are composed of four parts: cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus.

Chen Cheng saw that the resilient cell wall was slightly expanding and contracting with the respiration of the cells, and the various structures inside were like a factory, each performing its own duties.

Chen Cheng now mainly observes the cytoplasm where chlorophyll is located.

Cytoplasm can be divided into membranes (plasma membrane and vacuolar membrane), hyalurin, and organelles. Endoplasmic reticulum, plastids, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, and ribosomes, among others, are suspended inside.

The plasma membrane is the realm of the cytoplasm and clings to the cell wall, which has many small pores, so the cytoplasm of adjacent cells is interconnected.

Achromats, chloroplasts, and chromosomes in plant cells are collectively known as plastids.

Plastids are unique organelles in eukaryotic cells, which are tablet-shaped, disc-shaped or spherical, with two membranes on the surface, and their functions are closely related to energy metabolism, nutrient storage and plant reproduction.

Chloroplasts are containers of chlorophyll.

It is an organelle of the cell, along with mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, etc., which are all owned by mature plant cells.

Chloroplast is a structure that carries out photosynthesis in the cells of green plants, and it is a plastid with three forms: round, oval or disc-shaped. The chloroplast is oblate spherical, about 2.5 microns thick and about 5 microns in diameter.

Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll a and b and are green in color, which is easy to distinguish from two other types of plastids: colorless white bodies and yellow to red colored bodies.

The function of chlorophyll a and b is to absorb light energy and convert it into chemical energy through photosynthesis.

This is the key position that Chen Cheng is looking for.

Through careful observation, Chen Cheng found that the chloroplasts in these cells infected by the wheat rust fungus had been damaged, and there were still many dead fungal bodies in them.

Those fungi destroy the chloroplasts of the cells, causing them to not produce chlorophyll properly.

"Isn't it possible to get these cells to redevelop chloroplasts to solve this problem?" Chen Cheng thought again.
