(Reporter Han Xue) In recent days, Bayi Agricultural University has successfully cultivated the 200-gram "space seed" seedlings for the "Shenzhou 8" spacecraft to carry out space exploration and space breeding experiments. The first fruits will be harvested in mid-June. After the year can be a large area of ​​promotion. The batch of space seeds included 7 melon varieties and 4 watermelon varieties. The school cooperated with the China Academy of Space Technology and was carefully selected by the school teachers. The spacecraft “Shenzhou No. 8†was put into space and the seeds passed through 397 hours. The 11 million-kilometer journey of space traveled through December last year through procedures such as notarization and confirmation. According to the person in charge of the space breeding experiment, the seeds were planted on February 20 this year and were cultivated in sand before transplanting into the nutrient bowl. At present, the 2500 seedlings grown from the seeds of space have grown gratifyingly, only 3 days after emergence, and many seedlings have reached 45 centimeters. It is understood that the entire seedling period of space seeds is between 35 days and 45 days. Such seeds have early maturation, can shorten the growth period, have insect resistance, can reduce the use of pesticides, and are resistant to low light and are suitable for northern growth. After successful cultivation, the researchers will further select excellent seeds for hybridization and screen out excellent mutant seeds with alkali resistance, low temperature resistance, and good quality.
