Latest Patents

Xiyuan Liao holds a patent for a noninvasive method of source-sink regulation in rice. This method belongs to the technical field of rice production and aims to regulate the source-sink relationship by utilizing a rice sterile line and its identical type of maintaining line. The method involves mixed-planting and insulated pollination, or sowing and transplanting at different times, to create rice plant samples with gradient differences in source-sink levels. This native, natural approach overcomes the limitations of conventional methods that often cause physical injury or physiological interference in plants. The invention provides a new perspective for investigating source-sink relationships in rice, wheat, maize, and other crops, enriching crop source-sink theory and promoting related disciplines.
