The team of Professor Hou Xilin of Nanjing Agricultural University has successfully researched the new variety of cabbage "Yellow Rose" after more than ten years.
Students of the Horticulture Institute of Nanjing Agricultural University demonstrate "rose cabbage"
"Yellow roses" have beautifully packaged bouquets and decorated flower baskets, and if you look closely, you will find that the roses are actually textured, leaf edges turned out yellow cabbage.
Yesterday, Professor Hou Xilin introduced that "rose cabbage" is different from ordinary cabbage, and its characteristics are: the plant is semi-upright, not girdled, and the whole plant is shaped like a rose. The height of the plant is 18 cm, and the degree of development is 26 cm.
This variety has the characteristics of low temperature resistance, high vitamin C content, golden yellow color, etc., "yellow rose" can resist the low temperature of -9.6 ° C, and is more resistant to freezing than the cold-resistant variety "Han Xiao" they cultivated before; the vitamin C content is more than 3 times that of the general Cabbage, 100 grams of fresh weight contains 156 mg of vitamin C, and the lower the temperature, the higher the vitamin C content, the yellower the color. This is related to the hardiness gene of "yellow rose". "'Yellow rose' is not a genetically modified food, it is obtained after many generations of self-inbreeding and then hybridization, in the study, we found that its hardy genes and its color, nutrient composition is very related, after repeated experiments, there is this breakthrough."
At present, "yellow roses" are planted in the Provincial Agricultural Expo Garden Nannong University Experimental Base, Kunshan Jade Leaf Demonstration Base, etc., and the planting area across the country has reached 10,000 mu. Because it just snowed a few times this year, the "yellow roses" grew particularly well.
Hou Xilin's graduate student Xu Hongfei and two other students formed an entrepreneurial team to promote the "yellow rose". "Major media rushed to report that Xu Hongfei and his two classmates have also been selling around Nannong since February 12," Xu Hongfei said, because of its high nutritional value, the current "yellow roses" are sold by tree, the price of one tree is 10 yuan, the price of the package is slightly higher, the price is 15 yuan, with the increase in the attention of "rose cabbage" in the circle of friends, the keyword has also been on Weibo hot search.
