通过使用关键基因, 中国科学家创造了多年生, 使植物能够存活两年以上并提高可持续性. Chinese scientists created perennial rice using key genes, enabling plants to survive over two years and boosting sustainability.

中国科学家已经发现了包括EBT1与MIR156B和MIR 156C在内的基因,这些基因能够通过重新激活花开后芽的生长来使野米持续生长. Chinese scientists have identified genes, including EBT1 with MIR156B and MIR156C, that enable wild rice to grow perennially by reactivating growth in buds after flowering. 研究人员将它们与PROG1和TIG1基因结合, 在中国海南进行实地试验时创造出至少存活两年的米植物. By combining these with PROG1 and TIG1 genes, researchers created rice plants that survived at least two years in field trials in Hainan, China. 这种突破可以导致多年作物减少劳动力,降低土壤侵蚀并提高可持续性, 尤其是在丘陵或偏远的农田. This breakthrough could lead to perennial rice crops that reduce labor, lower soil erosion, and improve sustainability, especially on hilly or remote farmland. 这项研究结果发表在2026年3月20日的"科学"杂志上, 代表了对更可持续的米种植迈出的重要一步. The findings, published in Science on March 20, 2026, represent a major step toward more sustainable rice farming.
