Without strengthening molecular research, China’s hybrid rice technology will lag behind international standards.
However, the promotion of GM rice must be prudent and cannot be let go for human trials.
At the end of the year, the debate over genetic modification was fierce. From "genetically modified" rice to "green card" to "genetically modified corn" being accused of large-scale planting... The controversy behind this debate is that there has been great concern about genetically modified foods. People are worried that after genetically modified crops are eaten by humans, there will be no "unpredictable" consequences.
Yesterday afternoon, Yuan Longping, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the father of “hybrid rice,†said in an interview with this reporter that “the promotion of GM rice must be prudent! It must be considered from the perspective of life, ethnicity, and ecology.†He believes that with advanced Biomolecular technology to increase rice yield will be the main research direction in the future.
Transgenic test to do
Yuan Longping said that the super hybrid rice researched by the National Hybrid Rice Research Center has already completed the second phase target of 700 kilograms per mu, and the second phase of 800 kilograms per mu. It is currently working on the third phase target of 900 kilograms per mu. There is the fourth period.
"The high yields of the previous periods mostly depended on improving conventional technologies, but they almost used the limit. To further increase production and achieve higher expectations, we must find a way out of biomolecular technology and apply conventional breeding methods and molecular breeding techniques. In combination, further tapping the output potential."
More than 30 years ago, Yuan Longping had a “cooling dream under his knees.†He dreamed that he was enjoying the cool air under a paddy field. The rice plants beside him were like stilts, the rice ear was like a broom, and the grain was like peanuts.
He believes that the only way to round this dream is to rely on advanced bio-molecular technologies.
Yuan Longping believes that "Although China's hybrid rice technology is currently leading the world, if we do not strengthen research on molecular breeding techniques, it will be five years or as long as ten years. China's hybrid rice technology will lag behind international standards," he stressed. The trial of genetically modified rice should be done. It cannot be said that some people are worried about it and they will stagnate.
Be especially careful when promoting
The public is most concerned about the genetically modified rice may be hidden dangers to the human body. The reason is that when pests and diseases invade rice, due to changes in rice genes, they produce toxins that kill pests and diseases, and humans may also store toxins in humans after eating them.
Relevant personnel confirmed that many tests such as mice or other small insects have been done and proved to be no harm. However, Yuan Longping analyzed that mice or other insects did not die and could not prove that genetically modified rice was not harmful. However, mice or insects were poisoned, but it is not clear that genetically modified rice is harmful. Can not be generalized, human and insect body is not the same. For the promotion of insect-resistant transgenic rice, special care must be taken to ensure a systematic safety assessment.
Yuan Longping said that insect-resistant GM rice can be tested in small animals such as insects, but it cannot be released for human trials. He said, "I would like to register for the first time and be a tester for insect-resistant transgenic rice."
