Chapter 2112 Color Changing Tree
After listening to Yang Fang's introduction, Wu Hao nodded with a smile and said, "It's very good. As the people's material life continues to improve, everyone has higher requirements for spiritual life, and our country's flower consumption market is also expanding.
However, compared with other countries, the varieties in our domestic flower market are relatively single, which is much different from those in developed countries such as abroad, especially in the West. Moreover, many flower varieties do not have their own independent intellectual property rights and are subject to others.
This is true. Don’t think that it’s just a flower, you still have your own intellectual property rights, and you can still be controlled by others.
In fact, this is true. Take the roses that everyone likes for example. Almost all the rose varieties we are familiar with come from overseas. Many of them have their own intellectual property rights. If our domestic companies want to introduce them, they must pay a large purchase license fee.
Therefore, cultivating flower varieties that have our own ownership only has a great positive effect on our country's resistance to invasions from these foreign flower giants.
And in terms of market returns, with these excellent flowers and ornamental plant varieties, we can also make great achievements in this market."
Speaking of this, Wu Hao turned to Yang Fang and said, "Don't worry, do it boldly. I will continue to pay attention to you in this regard."
Thank you Mr. Wu. Yang Fang smiled happily when she heard this.
Well, Wu Hao nodded with a smile, then looked at the other flowers and plants and said, "Let's introduce these novel varieties to us."
OK. Yang Fang smiled and nodded, then led Wu Hao and the others to a special plant, and then smiled at everyone and said, "This is a very interesting ornamental plant we have cultivated. Although everyone seems to have grown a little ordinary, it is actually a very beautiful plant. We call it a color-changing tree."
Color-changing tree? Everyone was surprised when they heard Yang Fang's words. Color-changing tree, can this tree change color, just like a chameleon?
Faced with everyone's puzzled expression, Yang Fang smiled and took a transparent tablet from her assistant, then slid it a few times, connected it to the vertical display screen closest to them, and then introduced it to everyone.
"In fact, it is just like everyone thinks, a color-changing tree. As the name suggests, this tree can change color. We extracted, mixed and edited the genes of many plants, and finally cultivated such a color-changing tree.
As for it, the appearance of ordinary trees is not much different from that of ordinary trees. However, the color of leaves will change into different colors according to their growth cycle and temperature and humidity.
First, when the leaves just sprout, they are tender yellow, and the leaves gradually grow and turn golden, and then turn dark yellow, orange, orange, red, dark red, purple, and blue. Then they gradually fade away from the pigment, turn green, and then turn brown and wither and fall off.
What we are seeing at the moment is in the transition period from crimson to purple, so it looks a little red and purple. It will turn completely purple in about a week or two, and then turn blue a little bit.
This is a delay video we made, recording the color changes throughout the year. Please watch the big screen."
Hearing Yang Fang's words, everyone followed her instructions to look at the big screen. In the meantime, the short video on the big screen began to play. A small tree that was not very big began to emerge from the bare trunks. The new buds gradually grew and turned into a very conspicuous golden color, just like a golden tree full of golden leaves.
Immediately afterwards, the leaves began to gradually darken their colors, from golden to regular, then orange and orange red. The colors of the leaves deepened little by little, and then turned directly into big red, which was very bright.
Immediately afterwards, the red began to gradually deepen and turned into a more textured dark red, a bit like the red of roses, and a bit like the Chinese red.
As red reaches its extreme, the color of the leaves gradually becomes a little purple and becomes a pink purple that is very popular. The purple gradually appears more and more, and the whole leaves also become a dark purple color, some of which are like purple bamboo and plum, or even more like purple cabbage.
This purple also made the color-changing tree emit a slightly strange and mysterious aura, and it felt like poisonous gas was emitted all over. Fortunately, this purple color did not last long, and soon the purple leaves slowly began to turn blue, and the blue color became thicker and thicker. Finally, the leaves of the whole tree began to turn blue, and this blue color was like the blue of blueberries. It began to slowly deteriorate from deep blue to lake blue and sky blue, and then the blue leaves actually began to turn green, which was like a real tree.
Unfortunately, it was only a moment, and then the leaves began to turn yellow-brown, and then slowly withered and fell.
So beautiful, how did you do it? Zhang Jun couldn't help but ask when he looked at the picture on the big screen.
"Haha, it means extracting the color of the different colored genes in plants in nature, and then selecting a basic tree for implantation and editing. Excluding the original part of the tree's genes, and then implanting these extracted different colored genes. And through the gene editing of the plant, the changes in the color of leaves in different stages of the tree are controlled, and a triggering mechanism is set.
For example, temperature and humidity, changes in light, etc., plants are sensing changes in these external factors and thus making corresponding changes." Yang Fang explained with a smile.
Wu Hao asked his own question at this time: "How can we keep a constant state? Will this color-changing tree maintain a specific color?"
Hearing Wu Hao's words, the others nodded and looked at Yang Fang, and they also had questions about this.
Yang Fang smiled and shook her head: "In fact, the impact is not great. We have not changed the original growth gene of the tree, so even if it grows in a constant environment, the tree will still sprout, grow and then dry out the leaves.
During this growth process, leaves will still change color according to the color change gene they implanted. However, these external factors are missing, such as changes in temperature, humidity and light, so the color change will appear less obvious and less bright.
Because our basic mother tree is a plant that grows in a clear climate zone in all seasons, it is not good to grow if it is less climate change. This is why some plants like sunshine, some like shady backs, some are drought-tolerant, and some like water."
