A peculiar plant rich in lycopene in the fruit of Castanopsis lanceolata. How can it reproduce?

What a strange fruit! The fruit has spines on the surface, and the red cone when ripe looks like a marigold lantern from afar. Up close, the green immature fruit looks like a super-large spiny passion fruit. It turns out that it is not only a peculiar fruit shape, but also because the seed looks like a soft-shelled turtle, has a special name, called "Muji".

Since 2015, the seedling improvement breeding farm has set up a seed nursery to continuously collect provenances from Taiwan and Southeast Asia, and used the seedling farm to develop existing techniques for all-female breeding of melons to select excellent female plants. at the same time, the flower sex was changed by chemical treatment, and the seed production of all-female plant was carried out.

There is a bright red and sweet mucous membrane outside the seeds of Momordica chinensis.

The seedling farm points out that the shape of the fruit ranges from wide oval to ovoid, and when the fruit is ripe, the color will gradually change from green to orange-red, and the flesh contains lycopene, β-carotene, lutein, and so on. Fruits are much higher than ordinary vegetables, and fruits are much higher because they have a variety of nutrients needed by the human body. Red glutinous rice made with wood clover in Southeast Asian countries is the best source of nutrition for rural children. At present, there are also foods made from wood nuts in Taiwan, such as biscuits, steamed buns, wood nut oil, and so on.

The seedling farm also said that the seeds of Fructus mandshurica can be sown after being taken out of the pulp and dried, and the germination rate can be improved by pre-treatment. Aristolochia mandshurica is a dioecious perennial vine, its fruit has high nutritional value, and the industry has been paid more and more attention. If grafting technology can be used to reproduce female plants or produce female seeds in large numbers, the yield can be increased and the cost of production management can be reduced.

Mulberry is generally cultivated by setting up scaffolding.

At present, the seed and seedling farm is also working on the development of related techniques for grafted seedlings and the production process of healthy seedlings, and at the same time, the strains with different fruit types, thick pulp and high nutrient content (such as lycopene, β-carotene, etc.) are selected to establish a good cultivation system, hoping to improve the economic value of Chinese cabbage.
