    Introduction: after years of research, Dongli Co., Ltd has successfully cultivated a high-tech project with poverty alleviation and environmental protection significance - "genetically modified grass" In the experimental bases established in some desertified areas in the west, this "genetically modified grass" has a good growth Experts believe that "transgenic grass" has a broad market prospect and great development potential It is reported that the land desertification in China is expanding at the rate of 2460 square kilometers every year At present, China has 2.622 million square kilometers of desertification land, accounting for 27.3% of the land area 471 County flags involving 18 provinces, regions and cities Every year, the direct economic loss caused by desertification is up to 54 billion yuan, which is three times of the total financial revenue of five provinces in Northwest China in 1996 The degradation of grassland in China has reached 2 billion mu, accounting for 59.6% of the total area of grassland in the desertification area, so more than 50 million sheep are less raised each year; the degradation of arable land is 116 million mu, accounting for 40.1% of the total area of arable land in the desertification area Desertification also aggravates the deterioration of the whole ecological environment At present, this kind of "transgenic grass" is growing well in the experimental bases in Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Gansu, Heilongjiang and other desertified areas Only a few times of watering, they can grow to 40-50 cm high in about 45 days, which provides a very good way to solve the increasingly serious problem of soil desertification in China Using biological engineering technology to prevent and control desertification, using gene technology to cultivate high quality forage which can survive in bad environment, the key is to select grass species The goal of Dongli company is to find, analyze and cultivate this kind of "transgenic grass" After thousands of experiments, they finally isolated special proteins from the cells of several high-quality forages to ensure their survival in bad conditions, and used genetic technology to promote their more effective synthesis of this protein This "transgenic grass" has good reversibility, cold resistance temperature of - 30 ℃ to - 35 ℃, strong tillering ability, branch of 100 to 200, high grass yield, early rejuvenation and strong adaptability It has received a group of experts such as Wang Xizhong, Professor of Bioscience and Technology Department of Tsinghua University, Shi Peixin, researcher of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Zhou Lijin, Professor of Capital Normal University and other government departments such as the State Forestry Administration The door is well received After the trial planting in recent years, this kind of "transgenic grass" is likely to become a high-quality desert green grass species with strong resistance to adverse conditions such as drought, cold and salinized soil (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
