The public opinion on the Internet was getting louder and louder, and Jiang Che naturally paid attention to it.
In order to reassure everyone, Jiang Che even asked Professor Nong to accept an interview with the media.
In the greenhouse laboratory, the cultivation plan of Longya rice has already started.
There are already hundreds of hybrid experimental specimens of Longya Rice in the laboratory petri dishes.
In order to make the video more convincing, the interview was deliberately conducted in a laboratory.
The person being interviewed was Wang Shuangshuang, who had not left yet.
"Professor Nong, are these experimental products behind you all Dragon Tooth Rice?"
Wang Shuangshuang, wearing protective clothing and holding a microphone, asked.
"Yes, here are a total of 150 test plants hybridized with Dragon Tooth Rice as the female parent."
"Based on the tall and strong characteristics of Longya rice, we hybridized it with longya wild rice."
"Rice longistaminata is a perennial herb."
"If this hybridization is successful, Longya rice may become a perennial rice in the future."
“If you plant once and maintain it well, you can potentially harvest for four or five years straight.”
Professor Nong took down a container from the shelf behind him as he spoke, and inside it was a small young seedling soaking.
"This is incredible. Professor Nong, is this really possible?"
Wang Shuangshuang widened her eyes and asked in disbelief.
"In theory, it is completely feasible. In the laboratory, we are also improving wild rice."
"These experimental subjects behind me are actually the products improved by Changxiong."
"As long as we keep researching, we will eventually find a match with Changxiong and Longya rice."
Professor Nong nodded and explained seriously.
Since joining Green Field Group, he has led his team to study Dragon Tooth Rice day and night.
The plant of Aralia dasyphylla is tall and has a very high demand for nutrients.
The high cost of planting is also the fundamental reason why it is difficult to promote.
In order to reduce the planting cost of Longya Rice, Professor Nong thought of changing the growth method of Longya Rice.
Let its root system become more developed and allow it to absorb nutrients from deeper underground.
So we chose the wild rice Changxiong and hybridized it with the Longya rice.
It’s just that Changxiong’s genes are too unstable, and the rejection during hybridization is very strong.
So they used the Jumang editor to edit Changxiong's genes.
Trying to find the common ground between Oryza sativa L. and Oryza ovata L.
However, they were not very skilled in using Ju Mang, and the improved Chang Xiong they created were all failures.
However, they believe that as long as they continue to research, they will definitely succeed.
"Professor Nong is truly amazing! If this succeeds, won't rice be just like fruit trees in the future?"
"Can this kind of perennial rice solve the problem of high planting costs?"
Wang Shuangshuang thought about it and asked again.
The plant of Longya Rice can grow to more than three meters tall, and it would be a perennial herb if it really became one.
It's really no different from a fruit tree, like a banana tree.
When bananas are ripe, farmers cut down the tall banana trees.
The banana trees will grow again next year, so farmers won’t have to take it easy when farming!
"Yes, if the experiment is successful, the roots of the dragon tooth rice will autonomously absorb nutrients from the deep soil."
"The planting cost will be greatly reduced, but further experiments are needed to determine how much it can be reduced."
There are definitely planting costs, but they are nothing compared to the profits brought by Longya Rice.
This cost is nothing at all. The taste and economic value of Longya Rice are better than all other rice available today.
"Thank you, Professor Nong. That's all for the interview."
After asking a few important questions, Wang Shuangshuang ended the interview.
Afterwards, Professor Nong took Wang Shuangshuang to visit the laboratory. Of course, it was impossible for him to take her to see the Ju Mang artifact.
After Wang Shuangshuang left the laboratory, the video of the interview soon appeared on Kyoto TV.
Netizens quickly came across this video and found it novel after watching it.
It is truly an unbelievable fact that rice can grow perennially.
But seeing so many experimental products in the video, netizens had to believe what Professor Nong said.
After all, this is the Green Field Group, and there are so many magical plants that have been improved.
After watching the video, some farmers in the countryside still don’t quite understand what annual and perennial plants mean.
I figured it out after reading the comments from netizens in the comment section.
Isn’t that the difference between leeks and rice?
Chives grow in batches one by one, and one row of land can be used as food for several years.
Every year they grow rice, which requires breeding, plowing, turning the soil, and irrigation. Don’t you know how troublesome it is?
If rice were like leeks, that would be an incredible thing!
Farmers in the south are so excited and are even more looking forward to the appearance of perennial dragon tooth rice.
Officials from all over the country also attached great importance to it, and the reputation of Greenland Group was once again discussed by the public.
Agricultural companies across the country are envious; Green Field Group’s resources are truly powerful.
Such incredible technology can actually be thought of.
If they really succeed, how will they survive?
Relevant foreign departments have also noticed Professor Nong’s video.
They all attach great importance to this perennial rice project.
If China's research is successful, the world's food supply will really depend on China's decision.
When Jonathan from Mengshan Company saw the news, he was drooling over this technology.
The reason why their company has become the most powerful biological company in the world.
