Video: introduction to led the world in Super hybrid rice Yuan longping level

People's daily Beijing, January 2 (by Mary) "father of hybrid rice," said famous agronomist Yuan longping, recently in an interview with the media when it comes to perceptions of GM, that genetically modified future direction, said his ongoing study of transgenic rice plants.

Yuan longping, meal to say the word strong in Hunan accent, "GM cannot make generalizations". In his view, transgenic future development direction.

Yuan longping, believe that the public now worried about disease resistance are the main insect-resistant gene, namely HIV protein gene. He reveals that he is studying carbon transfer four genes into corn in rice, photosynthesis efficiency can increase 30% per cent and increase production. "What is it with genetically modified food not? Still manage to eat corn. "Yuan longping asked. "We eat soy three-fourths from the United States, is also genetically modified. "He added.

视频：袁隆平介绍超级稻情况称技术领先世界水平

　　人民网北京1月2日电(记者 马丽) 有“杂交水稻之父”之称的著名农学家袁隆平近日在接受媒体采访时谈到对转基因的看法，认为转基因也是今后的发展方向，同时透露他也正在进行转基因水稻的相关研究。

　　袁隆平用浓重的湖南口音一字一顿地说，“转基因不能一概而论”。他认为，转基因是今后的发展方向。

　　袁隆平认为，现在引起公众担忧的主要是抗病抗虫基因，即毒蛋白基因。他透露，他正在研究把玉米的碳四基因转到水稻中，光合效率可以提高30%到50%，提高产量。“这样的转基因有什么吃不得？玉米不是照样吃。”袁隆平反问。“我们吃的大豆四分之三来自美国，也是转基因啊。”他补充道。

　　在谈到自己的梦想时，袁隆平表示希望推广自己的杂交稻品种“走出国门”，有一天能够覆盖全球一半种植水稻的面积，同时希望政府扶植几个龙头企业。
