Yunnan Makes Progress in Inducing and Regulating Expression of Gene Phenotypes

Na Zhongyuan, head of Yunnan Ecological Agriculture Research Institute, has developed a new technology to induce and regulate the expression of an applied crop gene phenotype, which increases the efficiency of photosynthesis in plants.

This technology can increase the crops' capabilities to withstand cold, heat, disease, and insects, mature earlier, raise its quality and yield without polluting. Early this year, the Hada village in Harbin, Heilongjiang province planted cucumbers using this technology and doubled the yield. Satisfactory results have been achieved in tests of this technology in some high altitude and cold regions. This technology can shorten the maturation periods of the crops. The maturation period of wheat can be shortened an average of seven to fifteen days, ten to twenty days for rice and thirty to forty days for corn. And it can cure diseases that affect the roots, stems and leaves of crops.

The experts said that this technology is a significant step in increasing the resistance and yields of crops in southwest and northern China.
