What's the difference between transgenic and hybrid technology?

Hybridization is the base pairing of two single-stranded DNA or RNA.

Transgenic technology refers to the introduction of artificially isolated and modified genes into the genome of an organism.

2. Different technologies

There are many hybridization techniques. The first one was discovered by Mendel, using different traits of peas to cross, so as to find the genetic law.

Transgenic technology can be divided into plant transgenic technology, animal transgenic technology and microbial gene recombination technology.

3, the degree of harm is different

Hybridization technology is harmless.

The harm of transgenic technology is unknown.

Application of Extended Data Hybridization Technology in Rice

The success of hybrid rice has solved the problem of feeding more than one billion people in China. China is a big agricultural country, but it is also a populous country. The success of hybrid rice has enabled the limited cultivated land to feed a huge population and solved the most basic problem of food and clothing.

Hybrid rice has not only increased the grain output of China, but also been widely used in many countries in the world, such as Indian, Iranian, Philippine, Bangladeshi, Pakistani and other countries. This is a way to benefit the people of the world.

As the inventor of hybrid rice, Yuan Longping was elected as a foreign academician of the American Academy of Sciences in April 2006, and was known as the "father of hybrid rice". Dr. Swaminathan, director of the International Rice Research Institute and former Indian Minister of Agriculture, spoke highly: "We call Mr. Yuan Longping the' father of hybrid rice' because his achievements are not only the pride of China, but also the pride of the world, and his achievements have brought good news to mankind."
