My scientists found a new species of buckwheat

Zhou Meiliang, a team leader and researcher at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that buckwheat plants originated in China and currently have 21 species reported.
the cultivation of sweet and bitter slugs has spread from China to all parts of the world, the rest of the species are mainly distributed in Sichuan, Yunnan, Tibet and other high-altitude mountains in the southwest and the Jinsha River basin.
rich genetic resources in wild buckwheat, which has an important role in promoting the breeding and improvement of cultivated buckwheat.
In recent years, Zhou Meiliang led the team for many years to carry out wild buckwheat resources collection and investigation in several western provinces, a cumulative journey of more than 50,000 kilometers, a total of more than 20 species of 1069 wild buckwheat species and cultivated wild type materials, and collected first-hand pictures and specimens, to find out the distribution of China's wild buckwheat resources range and abundance.
long flower column wild buckwheat is in the process in The Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan Province, a new species of buckwheat found in the territory of Heli County.
the species was found in the wild, all the flowers on its plants were long flower column type flowers (the females were significantly longer than the males), and no short flower columns were found.
2018-2020, three test farms in Beijing, Chengdu and Liangshan were strictly isolated from each other, and their pollination and severity were observed, indicating that it was completely self-pollination and that the severity was normal.
to observe the plant morphology and flowers of the offspring, the morphological characteristics are exactly the same as between the growth in the wild, and the genetic characteristics are very stable.
according to its morphological characteristics, named buckwheat genus 22nd species of long flower column wild buckwheat.
