Last Updated: 2024/11/08, It is learned from Huanong University that the school has cultivated hairless sycamore trees, which is expected to solve the problem of flying catkins pollution. French sycamore scientific name "Suzuki", with fast growth, crown, shade and other advantages, is known as "one of the five street trees in the world". From April to June every year, the cones of Platanus acerifolia are scattered and the crown is flying, which not only pollutes the environment, but also affects people's health. For this kind of flying hair pollution, chemical pruning is mostly used in China, that is, spraying chemicals to promote the early shedding of cones. However, this method is labor-consuming and time-consuming and is not easy to be popularized in a large area.

However, this method is labor-consuming and time-consuming and is not easy to be popularized in a large area. Since 1994, Professor Manzhu and others in the university have made genetic improvement of Platanus orientalis by using plant genetic engineering technology, and bred transgenic plants by introducing sterile genes and flowering regulation genes, so as to solve the problem of flying hair pollution.

Bao Manzhu said that these plants will have to grow for five or six years before their hairless and fruitless final effect can be observed.
