Chapter 842 It turned out to be a tetraploid
After everyone left, Yang Xiaotao got up and returned to the room, suppressing the excitement in his heart and organizing his thoughts.
Blood Jade.
The new type of corn has strong salt-alkali resistance and its yield is significantly higher than that of previous corn.
As for whether it is resistant to lodging and whether it is resistant to drought, we need to continue to observe.
Closing the book, every household outside the house turns off the lights and goes to sleep.
There were no other activities at night, and a few energetic people had already made noises.
Yang Xiaotao put the notebook away, then went out and looked at the corn in the yard.
"Xiaowei, it's time to harvest the corn!"
Yang Xiaotao shouted in his heart, took the lead in entering the yard and began to collect the corn.
10pm.
Yang Xiaotao specially prepared a pot of braised pork and put wine on the table. Use your own discretion.
This time, think of it as a reward for your hard work.
Of course, if Xiaowei can drink, he will not mind "underage" drinking.
With these seeds, when he went to the northwest, he had an explanation for his sleeping brother.
Thinking of this, the hand holding the wine glass trembled.
The blood willow worn on the chest again is cold, but it feels strangely warm in the hand.
He knew that the blood jade had half of the credit of the brothers.
Drink all the wine and eat all the meat.
A grain of corn appeared on Yang Xiaotao's hand, and he looked at it carefully under the light.
The blood jade in front of me, to put it bluntly, is using the energy of the implanted blood willow to control the characteristics of corn, thereby enhancing resistance.
It is an enhanced version of C-type corn, which not only enhances resistance but also increases yield.
Of course, the increase is not much, only 3 to 5 times more than C-type corn. Compared with the yield of ordinary corn, it is still far behind.
Enhancement is enhanced, but how it is enhanced, how it is increased, and the mechanism is unknown.
And this needs to be explored.
He can't just accept it in a daze.
How would you explain it if someone asked?
Or luck?
Luck, that’s only one percent.
The remaining ninety-nine percent require theoretical and practical support.
Therefore, Yang Xiaotao wants to go one step further and unravel the mystery.
The human heart is not enough and the snake swallows the elephant.
If a snake is like this, let alone a highly intelligent person?
Perhaps this is the desire for science and exploration of the unknown.
He wanted more, higher.
So, this night, with Xiaowei's wide-eyed expression full of confusion, the hybrid experiment was once again put on the agenda.
Even if it’s only two days.
But with Xiaowei’s ability as a tool, she can do a lot in two days.
Yang Xiaotao’s experiment is very simple.
Rows of corn are planted again, waiting with anticipation.
On Saturday, Yang Xiaotao bought four fist-sized chickens from the pigeon market.
Two males and two females, exactly two pairs.
This is what Yang Xiaotao thought of when he got up to cook in the morning.
Who knows if there are any hidden dangers in the corn produced by this unconventional method? What if someone eats it and something bad happens?
So Yang Xiaotao thought of buying a few chickens to try. If there was really a problem, just stop doing it.
The four chicks were divided into two pairs, one pair was fed a new type of blood jade, and the other pair was fed corn kernels that were mutated after being injected with energy.
For a day like this, Yang Xiaotao was preparing things to go back to Yangjiazhuang.
At night, after figuring out the corn hybridization method according to the plan, Yang Xiaotao drove back to Yangjiazhuang overnight.
This time I went to say goodbye.
Although Gao Yufeng didn't come and no one informed him, Yang Xiaotao didn't want to postpone the set date any longer.
From now on, we will miss the farming season.
The jeep drove to Yangjiazhuang.
Yang Xiaotao moved the things in the car to his home, including the eggs, meat, vegetables and fruits rewarded by the system this month.
Ran Qiuye is pregnant, and she might be hungry when she wakes up in the middle of the night. In addition, eating some fruits during pregnancy is good for the body, so Yang Xiaotao doesn't care about this.
“If you move so much stuff, it will break easily if you don’t eat it.”
Ran Qiuye looked on at the side and saw a lot of eggs, duck eggs and goose eggs. How much would this cost?
There are also vegetables, which cannot be placed on the cupboard, so they are placed in a cool place.
As for the meat and fish, Yang Xiaotao put them away, and some of them were made into bacon and dried fish with salt.
There are so many things, let’s not talk about the cost, just saving them is a problem.
"It's okay, you, eat hard, you forgot that when you were pregnant with the Dragon Boat Festival, you were very hungry every night."
Yang Xiaotao said seriously, and Mr. Yang on the side listened and smiled.
"You also said that it was the Dragon Boat Festival."
"Yes, a boy is like that. You are pregnant with two children this time, so you should eat more."
Ran Qiuye was speechless, but still helped clean up.
After the vegetables, rice and noodles were placed, Yang Xiaotao personally cooked a few specialty dishes, and the family began to eat.
Bang!
The wine cups clinked together, and Mr. Yang and Yang Xiaotao drank a drink.
The wine flowed into the throat, with a spicy taste, and the two quickly picked up their chopsticks.
"How is the corn you mentioned last time?"
While Yang Xiaotao was pouring wine, Mr. Yang asked.
"Hey, I was about to report the good news."
Yang Xiaotao filled himself up with wine. Ran Qiuye, who was beside him, also focused his attention when he heard this. Duanwu next to him was holding a pig's trotter in his hand and was using The little teeth that had just grown in were chewing.
The last time Yang Xiaotao came back, he didn't look like he was successful.
Hmm~~
Yang Xiaotao cleared his throat.
"Through my continuous efforts, continuous design, continuous learning, and continuous."
"Tell me well."
The master picked up the chopsticks, then picked up a piece of pig ear and dipped it in garlic soy sauce. In the mouth.
Ahem
“After hard work, I have found a kind of corn that can be grown on saline-alkali land.”
"...I named this corn, blood jade!"
"Saline-alkali land? Blood jade?"
"Yes, this blood jade is different from ordinary corn. It may not be as good as ordinary ground. corn, but on saline-alkali soil, it is 'high-yielding' corn."
Yang Xiaotao explained happily.
This kind of corn can be grown in large saline-alkali lands in the northwest and fully utilized.
Of course, he hasn't figured out how to explain it yet, so he can only wait until he goes back to find the results and 'perfect' the theory.
Click
Ran Qiuye quickly picked up the dropped chopsticks.
A blush appeared on his face.
When he learned that Yang Xiaotao had developed a special kind of corn that could be grown on saline-alkali land, the admiration in Ran Qiuye's eyes increased again.
The men in my family are getting better and better, and they are simply omnipotent. When Mr. Yang learned about the situation, although he didn't say anything, his palms trembled involuntarily and the pig ears in his mouth almost fell out.
“So, there was no corn in this saline-alkali land before?”
“There was, but very little corn was grown.”
Yang Xiaotao ate a piece of pig ear himself, and took the pig's foot from Little Dragon Boat Festival and tore off a little toe for him to chew on.
The little guy bit into the skin and crunched it happily.
“For example, if you plant a hundred corns, ten corns will grow, each with a hundred corns on it.”
“The blood jade is the seed. One hundred corns grow out, and ninety corns grow out, each with at least three to four hundred corns.”
The intuitive numerical expression made the two people clearly realize the advantages of this blood jade.
“In other words, one acre of saline-alkali land can yield forty or fifty times more than before?”
Ran Qiuye calculated quickly, Yang Xiaotao nodded with a smile, and mentally added, 'If calculated by weight, it is still high. ’
“Such a good seed cannot be buried like Yangcun No. 1.”
Although Mr. Yang’s palms were trembling, the wine cup he picked up did not spill.
Yang Xiaotao held the wine cup with both hands and knocked it gently, and the two of them drank it again.
"I know. This time I go to the northwest, so I will bring the seeds with me to test whether they are suitable for the northwest environment."
"If everything goes well."
Yang Xiaotao didn't say much, but both of them knew that if everything went well, the country would have more food.
More people can eat.
After dinner, Ran Qiuye folded Yang Xiaotao's clothes and prepared things for the business trip.
Yang Xiaotao was holding the little Dragon Boat Festival on the side.
In the middle of the night, when there was silence, two figures slowly lay down.
Ran Qiuye leaned into Yang Xiaotao's arms, holding her arms tightly, rubbing her shy face against Yang Xiaotao's arm.
“We must be careful, the four of us, we are waiting for you to come back!”
“Don’t worry, nothing will happen this time. When I come back, our family will live a good life”
< br>“Hmm!”
The next day, Yang Xiaotao said goodbye to Ran Qiuye.
If I go back this time, I don’t know when I will come back again.
Yang Xiaotao could see the reluctance in Ran Qiuye's eyes, especially when he opened his mouth several times to speak, but when it came to his mouth, he was careful to pay attention to safety.
Maybe she thinks more than she says.
Mr. Yang was very direct, telling Yang Xiaotao not to be homesick. The people in the village would take good care of his wife and children for him. Of course, if he could complete the task early, he would come back early.
There is no better home outside.
Teacher Yang Dazhuang, Yang Shitouhong and others also came to see her off. After a few people talked, Yang Xiaotao hugged the little Dragon Boat Festival.
Finally, he held Ran Qiuye's hand and talked to the side for a while, indicating that he would come back before giving birth.
After saying this, in front of everyone, Ran Qiuye didn't care what others thought, and started crying while hugging Yang Xiaotao.
At this moment, Yang Xiaotao felt psychologically uncomfortable.
Fortunately, it only took a moment before Ran Qiuye left the embrace, wiped away his tears, and looked at Yang Xiaotao seriously to say something reasonable.
Then again asked Yang Xiaotao to pay attention to safety and come back early.
Yang Xiaotao nodded after calming down.
Finally, he drove away amid the waving arms of everyone.
When he came back from Yangjiazhuang, Yang Xiaotao first took a look at the chickens raised in the yard. Xiaowei fed them when he was away. Now it seems that the chickens are useless.
However, it may also be related to the short time.
After feeding some corn kernels, Yang Xiaotao began to collect corn and continued research.
Just looking at the pile of corn on the table, Yang Xiaotao covered his head.
Original expectations turned into nothing.
“It’s hard to find happiness for yourself!”
It is clearly recorded in the book that through the cross between blood jade and C-type corn, Yang Xiaotao named the corn grown as D-type corn.
But this D-type corn is worse than C-type corn. Not only does it grow smaller, but it also grows less.
And the corn kernels only have the outermost transparent peel, and are almost hollow inside.
It is obvious that this corn has not been planted!
The result was true. Xiaowei was asked to encourage the seeds to germinate, but she said that the seeds had no buds.
My good boy.
Yang Xiaotao easily crushed a corn kernel. It was so crispy that there was nothing left in it!
"No wonder it has to grow!"
Looking at the plan, everything was in vain, and Yang Xiaotao had a headache.
“That’s not right. This hybrid can grow corn, which means there is nothing wrong with the parents, but they didn’t plant it.”
"This phenomenon is a bit familiar!"
Yang Xiaotao rubbed his chin and thought carefully.
"Xiaowei, you said that the energy of this corn is lower than that of blood jade but higher than that of C-type corn!"
咻咻
Xiaowei is sure.
Yang Xiaotao conveniently wrote three numbers on the paper.
1, 1.5, 2.
If the energy of type C corn is 1, then this one is 1.5, and the energy of blood jade is 2.
Da da
The pencil poked on the paper, and suddenly Yang Xiaotao drew a cross on the side of the paper, and then wrote a 2.
"Tetraploid, let me go, this blood jade is actually tetraploid!"
Yang Xiaotao quickly gestured on the paper.
After a while, the numbers 4N and 2N appeared on the notebook, and then they were analyzed using the meiosis model.
Finally, stay on 3N.
Brush
Yang Xiaotao drew a circle on it with force.
“Yes, that’s right, that’s it, that’s it.”
Although the research relied on Xiaowei’s induction control of energy, but if we really want to explain it, it’s still A sound scientific basis is needed.
And now, Yang Xiaotao has found the key to this basis.
With this key, you can slowly push this door open.
Although this door opens from the inside to the outside.
Although this theory is derived from the results to the process.
Tearing a piece of paper, Yang Xiaotao organized his thoughts.
Since the somatic cells of the blood jade are tetraploid, the normal C-type corn is diploid.
That is to say, the energy obtained from the blood willow changed the C-type corn from diploid to tetraploid.
As for how it changed, Yang Xiaotao guessed that the energy Xiaowei consumed was itself tetraploid energy.
He was not clear about the changes that occurred after that. After all, it involved the genetic level, and the knowledge he had learned was blank in this area.
It’s just that after this energy acts on this vector, most of it cannot follow cell division during transcription or separation. Therefore, when planting, most of them will die and be unable to reproduce.
Only a few can follow the separation of chromosomes and complete the combination after forming gametes.
This is the new blood jade, a blood jade with four chromosomes.
