Breakthrough in rapeseed breeding and comprehensive utilization

Zhejiang University recently announced that experts from 7 units including the Institute of Crop Science, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, organized by the Zhejiang Provincial Science and Technology Evaluation and Achievement Transformation Center, recently conducted a review of the "Yellow Seed High Oil, High Yield, High Yield and Stress Resistant Rape Varieties" developed by Professor Zhou Weijun's team from Zhejiang University.

Professor Zhou Weijun's team used cutting-edge technologies such as Brassica interspecies hybridization, embryo rescue, and molecular polymerization to successfully select and breed plants with moderate growth periods.

The team has also developed 3 sets of high-yield and high-quality cultivation techniques, such as "no-tillage direct seeding", "sparse planting and precise control", and "latency-tolerant spring hair", which are matched with the Zhejiang University 630 series of high-quality yellow-seed rape varieties.

Progress in rapid screening of pesticide residues

Pesticide residues have always been one of the important issues of food safety in our country

Due to the large amount of agricultural production in China and the scattered operations, it is very difficult to supervise from the source.

It is reported that immunoassay has played an important role in the field of rapid detection of food safety, and its core reagents are mainly derived from traditional antibodies of mouse and rabbit origin

A new germplasm material with double resistance to soybean is released

According to the official website of the Institute of Plant Protection of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the crop nematode and bacterial disease monitoring and prevention and control innovation team of the Institute recently applied the host-induced gene silencing technology to develop a targeted soybean cyst nematode chitin synthase gene.

Both pathogenic nematodes and pathogenic fungi contain chitin synthases, whereas plants and vertebrates do not have chitin synthases.

Transgenic plants targeting the soybean cyst nematode chitin synthase gene can not only stably improve soybean resistance to soybean cyst nematodes of different physiological races, but also improve resistance to Fusarium spp

Patent authorized for efficient cleaning method of Antarctic krill cooking equipment

The Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences recently released news that "a highly efficient cleaning method for Antarctic krill cooking equipment" invented by the institute's fishing machine has been authorized by China's invention patent

This patent invents an efficient cleaning method for Antarctic krill cooking equipment.
