Plant genetic separation "sweeping" plant season

Let the spring flowers bloom in the fall so that the fruit of the summer knots will be full of branches in the winter - a technical achievement in Wuhan that allows the plants to change the seasons of flowering and fruition, bloom or mature at a time given in advance. At the Wuhan Municipal Private Enterprise Investment Project Promotion Meeting yesterday, the Wuhan Municipal Party Committee and the government recommended 147 projects, of which “using genetic engineering methods to change the time for fruits and vegetables to be marketed and the flowering time” attracts attention. According to the representative of the R&D unit of the project and Professor Lu Yingtang of the Life Science Academy of Wuhan University, they separated the genes from the plants, artificially changed the genes, transferred them to the plants, planted plants of various flowering time, and then passed them. Inherit, let the plant bloom in the expected period, the result. Lu Yingtang said that they have tested and succeeded in tobacco plants and postponed their flowering period by 3 to 4 months. This technology can also be promoted on other plants. It is said that this technology delays or prematurely ripens the fruits of plants, staggering the peak of the market, and has enormous economic potential.
