The main varieties of lettuce hono 1, water conservation and drought-resistant rice 73 are selected
The results of seed-source agriculture are presented nationally
In recent days, journalists have been informed by the shanghai city centre for agricultural biogenetics that the two main achievements supported by the municipal council for agriculture and the municipal council for science - the raw vegetable variety kono1 and the water-saving rice-resistant rice-based rice-based rice-based rice-based crop "73 " - were successfully selected and introduced to the country in 2026. In addition, the “measurefield methane mitigation cdm methodology” developed from water conservation and rice cultivation methods will contribute to china's original solution for reducing methane emissions and low-carbon transformation in global rice production。
For a long time, domestic vegetable growers have been dependent on imported italian vegetable varieties and there are widespread pains such as cold seasons that are prone to early condensation, high-temperature burning of the heart, yellow-haired leaves and poor functional nutrition. The high cost of procurement of raw seeds, the high logistical and foreign trade environmental impact of overseas supplies have also long plagued growers and fresh distributors。
In order to solve the industry's challenges, the shanghai agricultural biogens centre's creative source team collected 3,000 raw vegetable seed resources from the global system, based on a system for the conservation and utilization of seed resources of the centre's largest raw vegetable stock and one-courage three system, over a seven-year period, relying on the entire genome for the selection of breeding techniques and high-precipitation table-based identification platforms, and directed the development of a breakthrough species, the hono 1。
Although the hono 1 is italian, it is more than 24 per cent more productive than traditional italian lettuce under the same conditions of cultivation, and can produce up to 2. 4 tons of medium-fertility plots. In particular, the species is rich in thorium, which is more than 10 times higher than the domestic plant varieties. In addition, the late-convulsion properties obviate the need for additional dispersive heart agent and significantly reduce pesticide inputs。
At present, the variety has been scaled up in the country's primary vegetable-producing areas, generating an additional income of about $1,000 per acre for farmers and apocalyptics in more than 20 countries, including japan, korea and malaysia。
In addition, the autonomous selection by the genetic centre of a “73rd drought-resistant rice conservation” was successful in the selection of the ministry of agriculture and rural in 2026. This is another honour to the species after 2022。
Water-saving and drought-resistant rice “73” is characterized by water-saving drought, high yields, good rice quality, suitable for light and simplified cultivation, and is currently the highest-growing hybrid rice species in the long triangle, with an annual area of 1. 5 million acres. Journalists were informed by the shanghai city centre for agricultural biogenomics that 5 million acres of water-saving and drought-resistant rice were grown annually, with a cumulative area of over 30 million acres, and that the area under cultivation had covered the country's yangtze upstream, meso-downstream and south china, with demonstration in more than 20 countries。
Agricultural production is one of the major global sources of greenhouse gas emissions, contributing about 30 per cent to rice cultivation. However, global rice field methane control is facing many difficulties. In june of last year, a two-and-a-half-year rigorous evaluation process for reducing emissions from drought and rice was formally adopted by the united nations clean development mechanism (cdm) by the shanghai academy of agricultural sciences, the shanghai city centre for agricultural biogenomics, the ministry of the environment's technical centre for the regulation of the soil and agricultural ecological environment and the bridge for the environment (shanghai) limited。
