Ningxia wolfberry and tomato cross breeding successful

Recently, Ningxia crossbreeding expert Wang Chengyu and his husband Ma Guiling have harvested the harvested fruit: After 47 years of scientific research efforts, the couple's two led a breakthrough in the crossbreeding and tomato breeding trials. One of the grafted seedlings has made a breakthrough. More than 500 fruits. The two elderly men said that this is the best "birthday gift" they dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Autonomous Region.

The domestic scientific community has always believed that distant asexual hybridization between plants is impossible to achieve. As early as 1961, Wang Chengyu successfully grafted tomato seedlings belonging to the nightshade family to the eucalyptus trees of the herb family and produced fruits. They created miracles in practice and filled a gap in the scientific field.

It is understood that this new hybrid tomato variety has the advantages of seedless flesh, high disease resistance and high yield, and also contains amino acids, vitamins, polysaccharides and other nutrients, which have very important application value and theoretical innovation significance. At present, this new and high technology is still in the stage of further optimization and breeding. It is planned that by 2011, after expert acceptance and appraisal, it will be promoted in the market.
