Chapter 189: Inspection
The verification of the seed sterilization experiment of elf rice was not easy, and it took nearly a month to finally let the elf rice grow to the time of earing.
During this period, Jiayi and they were not idle, and continued to look for more effective and safer ways to remove bacteria.
Previously, sterilization methods could only be used externally, and it was harmful to animals in particular, so both Jiayi and Ville Onde wanted to find a safe and effective way to sterilize them.
Ole came in from outside the door, and as soon as he entered the door, he wrinkled his nose, he looked at the pile of melons and fruits piled up in the corner, frowned and said: "Jiayi, these fruits of yours are already bad, why are they cut and put here, you can't waste them at will just because they are on Elf Island." ”
Jia Yi stopped his hand and walked over from the test bench: "Don't touch these melons and fruits, this is the experiment I'm doing." ”
As he spoke, he drove Ole away from the pile of melons and fruits.
In the corner of the laboratory there is a shelf, on which are placed a lot of melons and fruits, some of which are whole, some of which have been cut and placed on the shelf, which have been fermented and have the smell of wine, and the smell of rotten dripping water, the smell is indescribable.
The most conspicuous of these fruits are several melons, which are clustered together and occupy a large area.
"You're wasting fruit. Ole shook his head, "Hurry up and pack up and go with me, today is the time to verify the effect of the seeds you have processed, it seems that Louis Pasteur and they will also come together, we need to pay attention." ”
"Ha, this is willing to let us meet, aren't you afraid that we will fight?"
Maybe the elves think they can control the situation.
Jiayi packed up and went to the experimental field outside the closed area with Wille Onde and Ole, where seeds were planted after various treatments, not only elven rice, but also wheat and other plant seeds that were also infected.
After arriving at the experimental field, Kaichi finally understood why the elves dared to let them meet with the Holy See, and in the middle stood the Grand Druid Snebi, a legendary spellcaster.
"Your Excellency. ”x3
Kaichi and the others hurriedly greeted Sneibi.
When opening up the experimental field, Snapby came over to help build the Four Seasons Circle, which was used to change the climate in the experimental field and accelerate the growth of plants. However, after the construction of the Four Seasons Circle was completed, Snapby left, but he didn't expect to return now.
Snappy is not an elf, but a human, and only because he admires the druid, he eventually becomes a druid, and step by step, he becomes one of only two great druids.
On the other side of Sniby, a group of priests in black sacrificial robes stood nearby, and in the middle they were the chief priest in a red and gold-trimmed robe, Louis Pasteur.
"Alright, let's start harvesting the rice in the experimental field. Snapby said with a wave of his hand.
Jiayi's gaze gently skimmed over Louis Pasteur, and the other party also looked over, and the eyes of the two of them fell apart, without speaking, silently following Sniby.
Both sides were people who had seen each other for the first time, and Louis Pasteur looked young, clear-eyed, and seemed to be quite mild. There were a lot of people from the Holy See, 7 or 8, and in comparison, Jiayi looked much thinner on their side.
Like Jiayi, Louis Pasteur is also very curious about them, the number of mages in Antarctica is extremely rare, and all of them are part-time priests, wild mages are simply rare, Louis Pasteur has been concentrating on practice, this is the first time he has gone out of Antarctica, and Jiayi They are also the first mages of Louis Pasteur to be able to get in close contact with each other.
The rice was harvested by the elves and placed in different categories, and each rice was preceded by a portion of rice that had not been threshed.
Snappy looked at the rice in front of him, scanned it carefully, and said: "At present, it seems that outside the closed area, all the infected seeds have grown very well after treatment, and the sterilization effect is obvious, but in the infected area, these treated rice have different degrees of reinfection, and the probability of infection is lower than that of ordinary seeds, but it looks similar to the treated ordinary seeds." The effect is not as good as expected. ”
Among these treatments, the ultraviolet treatment effect of seeds outside the infected area was better, and the seeds treated with ultraviolet light not only did not have the disease, but also had a higher germination rate, but in the infected area, the seeds treated with ultraviolet light were more likely to recur and did not have much resistance to the disease.
At this time, the preparation of copper sulfate and the saliva of the piranha flower has the best effect, but neither of these two solutions can be soaked for a long time, otherwise the seeds will die and the germination rate will be low.
The Holy Light on the Holy See's side has the same effect as ultraviolet light, but it does not stimulate the germination rate of the seeds.
But the most important thing is that these methods can make the seeds sterile, but can not guarantee that the subsequent infection will not be affected, all the seeds planted in the infected area, no matter which sterilization method is used, will be more or less re-infected, the best control effect is the piranha saliva configuration of the agent, still can not avoid the elf rice infection, the yield is reduced by more than half.
After the elf rice gets sick again, the current methods have limited killing effect on bacteria, and the sterilization of these methods can only be on the surface, and there is still nothing that can be done about the bacteria that have been infected inside.
"Now, do you have any ideas for making elven rice more resistant to white leaf blight? The current sterilization effect is very good, but it cannot avoid re-infection. Sneby asked the people on either side.
Louis Pasteur shook his head and said helplessly: "If only these rice could have the same resistance as wheat." ”
In this experiment, some wheat planting experiments were carried out at the same time, and wheat was also infected, but after the wheat seeds were treated, the probability of reinfection was greatly reduced, and although there were occasional cases of disease, the probability was greatly reduced, and the infectivity was also greatly reduced.
Jia Yi suggested to Snapby: "I think it is also necessary to select a rice seed with strong resistance to diseases and pests, and then cooperate with these treatment methods, and the land also needs to be thoroughly disinfected and sterilized, so as to ensure that the white leaf blight does not spread." Alone is not enough insurance. ”
He finally looked at Keller and added: "The most important thing is to consider safety in any future experiments, if you do a good job of isolation, this bacterial infection will not have a chance to spread to the outside." Even if a simple plant is not restricted by natural enemies, the ecological damage caused by the spread will be very serious, and His Excellency the Great Druid must have understood this. ”
Snappy nodded silently, although biological invasions did not happen much, he had encountered them several times, and he understood the dangers of biological invasions.
Keller was a little embarrassed to be said: "This time I really did something wrong, too careless." ”
As he spoke, he saluted to Jia Yi and Louis Pasteur: "Thank you for your assistance this time. ”
His solemnity made Jia Yi feel a little embarrassed, and hurriedly turned sideways and gave up half a step: "I think you can try to crossbreed, different varieties of crossbreeding are easy to get the advantages of their respective paternal parents, so that the next generation is more competitive, and you can get a more resistant to pests and diseases through crossbreeding, and you can also increase the yield." ”
"Crossbreeding, heterosis? That's a good idea. Sneby had observed this phenomenon, but he had not thought about applying it to rice.
Hybrid rice generally tastes not very good, and the planting area before Jiayi crossing has been almost a little more than half, but there are relatively few people who eat hybrid rice, and most of them are used for deep processing or making feed.
But for elf rice, the important thing is the efficacy, the taste is only secondary, and the impact of the problem on the taste is not particularly large.
At least for the current elves, it's not yet time to pay attention to this.
