The Chinese University of Hong Kong announced on the 30th that Longhuang soybeans, developed by Lin Hanming, Professor of Life Sciences Zhuo Min and Director of the State Key Laboratory of Agricultural Biotechnology at HKBU, and his team, had been launched from Shenzhou 16 on the 30th. Along with the soybean "rhizobia" carried by the Tianzhou-6 cargo spacecraft earlier, Hong Kong's first agricultural research project to conduct space borne experiments will be fully launched. According to HKUST, the soybean seeds carried this time were jointly researched and independently developed by Lin Hanming and researcher Zhang Guohong from the Gansu Academy of Agricultural Sciences, including three salt and drought tolerant soybean varieties (Longhuang 1, Longhuang 2, and Longhuang 3). This variety has been handed over to farmers in Gansu for free since 2016. Lin Hanming welcomed the soybean seeds into the air with both excitement and emotion, and looked forward to their smooth return. He stated that this is a new milestone in agricultural science and technology research in Hong Kong, further deepening research cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong. "I hope this research project can inspire Hong Kong students to break through and establish a broad perspective." It is reported that when soybean seeds return to the sea, Lin Hanming and his team will conduct precise genome testing on the seeds and comprehensively analyze and characterize changes, in order to understand the mutation mechanism of soybean seeds in the special space environment, We hope to bring new breakthroughs to agricultural technology innovation and explore the possibility of future seed space travel.
