Asexual reproduction can be used to grow rice like a fruit tree

A scientific research achievement by researchers such as Hu Fengyi and Tao Dayun of the Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences made it possible to "plant rice like a fruit tree," and the research on asexual reproduction of wild rice has made significant progress. Their research paper, "The Coordinated Evolution of Perennial Biology of Rice and Sorghum," after the publication of the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences", has attracted the attention of the world's scientists. Perennial high-yielding rice varieties do not exist in the world at present. Based on the widespread adoption of the aphid breeding methods in the past, no breakthrough has been made, and the use of the hybrid asexual characteristics of the underground stems of wild male wild rice to breed perennial hybrid rice becomes The topics that many scientists are concerned with and overcome. The results obtained by Hu Fengyi and Tao Dayun laid the foundation for the exploration and utilization of favorable genes for wild male wild rice. The research and utilization of hybrid rice with the “one line method” for perennial asexual reproduction provided material and theoretical basis. It also showed that China's research on the molecular markers and the exploration and utilization of beneficial genes in wild rice have been at the forefront of the world, especially in the international leading level of rice perennial research.
