The two of them diverted to the lab.

Before designing the seed optimization plan and conducting the experiment, Link was going to conduct a directional cultivation and screening of the Silver Star Flower seeds.

The specific method is to use a new germination method to germinate the seeds of the silver star flower, and then cultivate them according to the conventional method.

Repeat several rounds until the yield reaches the point where it is impossible to continue to improve.

At this time, the silver star flower seed is the real ideal experimental material.

This practice is also to verify the positive effect of the new germination method on the seed yield of Silver Star flower.

However, it is not as comprehensive as the third set of experiments from the previous protocol (see Chapter 30).

Even if the data obtained have been processed and have certain statistical significance, due to the lack of a control group, there are flaws in validity and reliability, so it is not suitable to use them as a basis for writing a "paper".

"Jasmine, come and help."

Link beckoned Jasmine and carefully selected and pre-treated the Silver Star Flower seeds he bought, removing all the inferior seeds that had even the slightest hint of vitality problems.

It's a delicate job that requires patience.

"Okay~."

Jasmine replied with a raised intonation, and the tail note dragged on for a long time.

After more than a quarter of an hour, all the Silver Star Flower seeds were selected.

After storing the selected seeds, Link will use the materials provided by the laboratory to prepare the silver star flower seed nutrient solution according to the information.

Unlike the greenhouse simulator, which is equipped with soil, the germination method and cultivation used in the laboratory are soilless culture.

This requires the preparation of a specific nutrient solution.

Fortunately, Link has read the relevant materials and is no stranger to this.

He first found the source of the relevant information in the temple of thought, and then used his portable brain to call up the document and handed it to Jasmine: "You take a look at these contents first, and you have a general impression." ”

Jasmine immediately took the brain and read it carefully.

Research assistants need to be vigorously cultivated, and cannot be used as a tool.

Otherwise, why do you want to study the assistant, isn't it fragrant to use intelligent puppets?

Link tried his best to let Jasmine know what the research and experiments at hand were, and why they were.

In this way, Jasmine can grow and give Link more and greater help in the future.

It is also worth pondering, located in the laboratory building, just like in the library, the portable brain can enter the high-level literature library.

Neither school buildings nor dormitories work.

Other places, such as the administration building, Link hasn't tried it yet, so I don't know the details.

But those office brains on the desk are definitely okay.

It is understandable that the school building is a place to learn the content of textbooks and the knowledge taught by teachers, so there is no need for over-the-top knowledge.

So, what about dormitories?

And why can't I get into the high-level literature library?

Link doesn't know why, but he doesn't dwell on it.

If you need to consult high-level literature, it is not troublesome to go directly to the library or come to the laboratory building.

After Jasmine finished reading the information, Link had already completed the preliminary preparations for the configuration of the nutrient solution.

Jasmine was signaled to take over the configuration of the nutrient solution, linking theory with practice.

Link began to follow the instructions and explore the use of various experimental equipment in the botany laboratory.

After some exploration and comparison, Link successfully mastered the use of the equipment.

After the nutrient solution was properly configured, Link set the parameters such as air humidity, light duration, and light intensity, while explaining why it was set up this way and how the equipment was operated.

Teaching is appropriate.

The nutrient solution needs to be left to sit for a while, so germination can start tomorrow morning.

After setting various parameters, the two of them didn't stay long and left the laboratory.

Because the afternoon class was the "Human Body" practical class, the two of them did not leave the laboratory building, but only went up from the third basement floor to the fourth floor.

At this time, there was still some time before class, and Link took out a pen and paper and wrote down some information that he needed to know beforehand to be a research assistant.

It is mainly the entry method and jump path of the high-level literature library, the "Papers" page and the "Patents" page.

As for the relevant knowledge such as research system, research methodology, experimental protocol design and writing, Link has found some materials and is studying and sorting them out.

Since the information is scattered and fragmented, there is no rush to inform Jasmine to avoid mistakes and omissions.

After all, the experiment is not in a hurry, just move forward slowly.

In the process of advancing, Link can take Jasmine to gradually learn the research system of the wizarding world civilization.

Handing Jasmine the paper on which the contents were written, Link proceeded to design the experimental protocol.

Thanks to the blessing of "Occlumency", coupled with the help of the Temple of Thinking, Link turned out some knowledge of high school biology in his previous life.

As we all know, there are several main ways of breeding:

First, mutagenesis breeding, the principle of which is genetic mutation;

second, cross breeding, the principle of which is genetic recombination;

Third, polyploid species, the principle of which is chromosomal variation;

Fourth, haplotype species, the principle of which is chromosomal variation;

Fifth, genetic engineering breeding (transgenic breeding), the principle of which is genetic recombination;

6. Cell engineering breeding;

7. Plant hormone breeding.

Link wouldn't rely too much on the knowledge of his past lives, and certainly wouldn't despise the wisdom of these countless predecessors.

This knowledge may not be applicable to all of the wizarding world, but it can do some things, such as enlightening the mind.

Combined with what has been learned, the materials and literature that have been consulted, in the "Pomona. Inspired by Sprout's botanical talent", Link believed that mutagenesis breeding was more suitable for the optimization of silver star flower seeds.

Considering his own limited knowledge and economic conditions, Link finally set cross breeding as an experimental method for the first phase of the experiment.

If the results are as expected, the first phase of the experiment will be the only one.

The Silver Star Flower Seed Optimization, although it was Link's own wishes, was more to give a mission to Wizard Paro, proving that Link was not wasting such a high-level laboratory for wizard apprentices.

If the experimental results are lower than or do not meet expectations, the second phase of the experiment can be considered and the experimental method can be changed.

Cross-breeding, the principle is genetic recombination, the method is continuous self-breeding, continuous selection (cross-breeding between different individuals to produce offspring, and then continuous self-breeding, screening the required homozygous).

Genetic recombination refers to the free combination of non-alleles on non-homologous chromosomes to produce a new genotype.

The Botany course also includes concepts such as "genes", "chromosomes", "sexual reproduction", and "meiosis", but the wording is slightly different.

After translation, it was unanimous.

Once the general direction is set, the next step is to fill in the details, such as intra-breed hybridization, inter-species hybridization, interspecific hybridization or gradual permeation hybridization.

It's not an overnight thing, it needs to be done slowly.

It just so happens that several rounds of cultivation and selection of silver star seeds also take a long time.

Link has both time and patience.
