Successful cultivation of Morchella

After years of efforts, the scientists and technicians of Mianyang Edible Fungi Research Institute in Sichuan Province have finally developed the cultivation technology of Morchella. The success of this technology indicates that China's biotechnology has reached the international leading level, and it will have a great impact on economic and social benefits and the development of biotechnology.

Morchella used to rely on the wild, growing in mountain forests, due to geography, environment, climate and other conditions, only once a year, the yield is very small, the collection is very difficult, most of them are not found by people, but fend for themselves in the mountains.

Morchella has extremely rich nutrients and unique health care function. It is determined that it contains 22% protein, 3.82% crude fat and more than 20 kinds of amino acids, with a content of 47.47%. In particular, the content of 8 kinds of amino acids essential to the human body is very high, accounting for 44.14% of the total amino acids, and is also rich in a variety of vitamins and mineral elements. some nutrients have exceeded the content of "Cordyceps sinensis" and are known as the top food. It is not only a treasure on the banquet, but also a well-known health care medicine in medicine, and exported to Europe and other places as high-grade food.

As early as 1883, Britain, the United States, France, Germany and other countries began to study the cultivation of Morchella, but this wish has not been realized for more than 100 years. Comrade Zhu Douxi, a famous edible fungus expert in China who has been engaged in research for more than 30 years, director and senior engineer of Mianyang Edible Fungi Research Institute in Sichuan Province, made use of genetic engineering and achieved success for the first time in 1992 after 7 years of meticulous research and experiment. the initial stability and repeatability were poor, and then after nearly 8 years of continuous research, we finally broke the ten mysteries of Morchella artificial cultivation. In the past 15 years, the experiment reached 918 times, and the commercial cultivation of Morchella was finally realized. It took effect that year, with an astonishing benefit of 1: 20 times input and output.

By the end of May this year, the pilot phase of the project has been completed, the whole set of technology and process has been very mature, and entered the stage of production. At present, the first phase has invested 2 million yuan to set up its own production base, and it is estimated that 10 tons of dry products will be produced half a year after it is put into production, and the completion of all the projects will produce huge economic and social benefits.
