US-China Cooperative Research: Photosynthetic Adaptability in a New Hybrid Rice Ecotype

一系列的研究建议联合大学之间的 格鲁吉亚和广东水稻研究所就确定 一种新的杂交水稻如何增加光合作用 在中国发展起来的。 中国正在进行的实验表明， 杂交水稻光合优势的利用， 从美国高光适应型与中国南方杂交 低光适应型，是一种很有前途的方法， 光合作用，扩大环境适应性， 提高生产力。在这个项目中， 将进行杂交水稻（Le/Qi）及其 父母来确定光合作用是如何被改变的。 部分工作将在三个地点进行--格鲁吉亚， 阿肯色州和中国。

A series of studies is proposed jointly between the University of Georgia and the Guangdong Rice Research Institute on determining how photosynthesis has been increased in a new hybrid rice developed in China. On-going experiments in China indicate that the utilization of photosynthetic heterosis in a hybrid rice, from a US high-light adapted ecotype crossed with a South China low-light adapted ecotype, is a promising approach to increasing photosynthesis, broadening environmental adaptability, and increasing productivity. In this project, coordinated studies will be conducted to compare a hybrid rice (Le/Qi) and its parents to determine how photosynthesis has been modified. Portions of the work will be conducted at three sites -- Georgia, Arkansas, and China.
