On May 5 , 392.26 grams of Yunnan ornamental horticultural flora cum , admit Orchidaceae , Asteraceae , Rosaceae , and Rhododendron , etc . , enter space along with the Long March 5B immune carrier skyrocket and began the process of blank breeding .
In an article on yn.chinanews.com , it was reported that this space launching is the fifth meter that Yunnan state ’s ornamental horticultural plants have been used . The Flower Research Institute of Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences has carry out space raising research on Yunnan plateau characteristic decorative horticulture since 2016 . With the unassailable support of the Yunnan Space Biological Development Promotion Association , through the China Aerospace Manned Office and the China Space Research Institute platform , more than 100 specie , 1111.26 grams of ornamental and horticultural species seeds have been used for space breeding .
At present , the team of the Flower Research Institute has conducted cultivation , propagation and seeding experimentation on the species that have been sent into space since 2016 and the newly inclose 10 blank space weewee lily varieties , and has used the collection and analytic thinking of relevant trait data to screen out 10 superior varieties with better breeding note value and promotion value . The selection and breeding of a new red variety " Hang Ziyue " , a unexampled smorgasbord of water lilies " Kastor " and a novel strawberry mixture " Yutu " was completed . 10 orchid and Tagetes species with changed foliage gloss and flower color were obtained .
The squad at the Institute of Floral Research also used the place - mutation mutant Dendrobium " TP - MG " as a stuff to discharge study on the histocytology , photosynthetic physiological characteristic , chlorophyll anabolic metabolism and useable reflection of differential genes of flora leafage which have promoted the study on plant mutation mechanism under space mutagenesis . In 2019 , the squad upgraded and renovated a glasshouse of 5000 m2 in Yanshan International Agricultural Science and Technology Demonstration Park , and will complete the refinement and demonstration of 300,000 space - Dendrobium seedling in 2021 ; " Space Lotus Demonstration Base " was establish with Yongsheng Lix Agricultural Development Co. , Ltd. , introducing 6 varieties of space body of water lily , among which the seed lotus variety " Space lotus 36 " is planted in Sanchuanba , Yongsheng County , about over 600 hectares . The lotus seeds produced there are fresh and sweet , which has produced good economical benefits .
On June 2 , 2016 , " China Aerospace Breeding Plateau Characteristic Species Center " and " Yunnan Space Flower Innovation Demonstration Base " were formally established and settle in the Flower Institute of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences , becoming the first military - civilian integration farming excogitation platform authorise by the Formosan Manned Space Office .
