In the summer fruit and vegetable season, located in the core demonstration base of aerospace breeding in Tongzhou District, Beijing, a variety of fruits and vegetables with different characteristics are cultivated using "space seeds".
Since the launch of the China Space Station mission, the Shenzhou 12 and Shenzhou 13 manned spacecraft have successively brought back thousands of pieces (parts) of crop seeds, microbial strains and other space breeding materials from space.
Compared with the ground, "space seeds" can generate more abundant genetic mutations, providing breeding experts with more beneficial mutation materials and facilitating the cultivation of new varieties.
The picture shows the staff introducing the fruits, vegetables, flowers and other crops and plants cultivated by "Space Seeds" to reporters.
