    The research team led by Academician Qian Qian of China Rice Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Researcher Xiong Guosheng of Shenzhen Institute of Agricultural Genomics, and Academician Li Jiayang of Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered the partner gene for hybrid rice to achieve the "green revolution".


    Academician Qian Qian said that plant type is a very complex agronomic trait and the main factor affecting crop yield


    In the 1950s and 1960s, in order to solve the problem of food and clothing for the population of developing countries, breeders used "dwarf genes" to improve rice, wheat and other food crops for high-yield breeding research, which was called the "green revolution"


    China's rice workers are also one of the first teams to start rice dwarf breeding


    "One of the biggest features of 'Huazhan' is that it has more stems and branches and has good yield stability.


    The research team further found that the miracle rice "IR8" and many representative varieties such as "Shuanggui", "Minghui 63" and "Huazhan" widely promoted in China all carry the stable and high-yielding "Striga Gold".
