Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Hybrid rice, a new high-yield rice variety first developed in China in the 1970s, can produce approximately 20% more per mu than ordinary rice. As a result, it has been dubbed "Magic Rice" by Western scientists. This high-quality hybrid rice, cultivated by Chinese researchers through advanced hybridization techniques and extensive experimentation, has not only significantly addressed China's food and eating issues but is also regarded by the global scientific community as a key solution to potential worldwide hunger caused by food shortages in the coming century. Internationally, hybrid rice is even considered China's fifth great invention after the Four Great Inventions and is hailed as the "Second Green Revolution in global food production." 70"""" The book provides an overview of the entire process of hybrid rice breeding. The three-line hybrid breeding system laid the theoretical foundation for rice hybridization, while the two-line hybrid breeding system simplified the process. Super rice has set new world records, and promising advancements are being made in hybrid japonica rice, indica-japonica hybridization, and molecular breeding. Additionally, salt-tolerant rice has opened a new era in hybrid breeding, and so on. Presented in the form of documentary-style popular science, the book is rich in detailed materials and offers well-reasoned discussions, showcasing the scientific achievements of rice breeding experts such as Yuan Longping. It highlights their patriotic spirit of prioritizing the nation, their meticulous dedication to truth, their pioneering and innovative mindset, and their persistent commitment to hard work and sacrifice. Unlike biographies of Yuan Longping, this book focuses on the entire hybrid rice breeding process, the context of different time periods, the scientific techniques employed, and valuable historical materials such as photographs, research papers, and correspondence. It emphasizes documentary authenticity, scientific rigor, and practical research insights. This book is highly suitable for inclusion in the collections of universities and colleges. Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice in China, has received numerous honors, including the National Special Invention Award, the "Outstanding Inventor" Gold Medal from the World Intellectual Property Organization, the UNESCO Science Prize, the Rank Prize, and the Feinstein Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
