Mechanical hybrid rice seed production method utilizing transgenic technology of chloroplasts

Abstract

The invention discloses a mechanical hybrid rice seed production method utilizing the transgenic technology of chloroplasts. The method is characterized by transforming the luminescent protein genes of the rice into the chloroplasts of restorer lines of the hybrid rice, wherein the restorer lines have the characteristic of maternal inheritance of fluorescent proteins and the pollens do not carry transgenes, therefore, the hybrids mated by the restorer lines are non-transgenic, proportionally sowing the male and female parents in a mixed manner during hybrid rice seed production, after becoming mature through field regular management, mechanically reaping the seeds and sorting the reaped seeds into non-fluorescing hybrids and fluorescing restorer lines through photoelectric sorting. The mechanical seed production technology not only greatly lightens the labor intensity of the farmers, reduces the operation procedures and lowers the production cost of the seeds but also ensures that the non-transgenic hybrid rice seeds are produced by utilizing the transgenic technology of chloroplasts.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a mechanized hybrid rice seed production method utilizing chloroplast transgene technology. Background technique [0002] my country's current hybrid rice seed production technology relies entirely on manual operations from sowing to harvesting. The parents are planted in stages, mostly the male parent is planted first, and the female parent is planted later; the female parent has multiple rows and the male parent has two rows. The process is complicated, and the entire seed production process requires sufficient labor to ensure that it is only suitable for popularization and application in labor-intensive rural areas. Large-scale farms cannot produce seeds due to lack of sufficient labor. Moreover, due to the factor of the male parent, the yield of seed production is reduced. The present invention will fundamentally change the current situation, realize mechanization without relying on labor force, and greatly increase the y...
