Zhu Yanbi waved Chi Pan's dance sleeves, just like giving birth to a fragrance for Yu Lian. It's hard for you > summer, rain and the moon, spring is lonely; The pond is full of red and blue, and the wind blows the jade beads.
& gt The pond was stormy all night, and ten thousand rubies bloomed. If you come to Gog, if you love Lian, you will be grateful. & gt Where did the gentleman in the flower come from? Fang Tingting Yuli is beautiful and warm, with endless fragrance and leaves. Even if it's cool, it will cover the hot summer. Why stay in the mud and don't want to be contaminated with fine dust? Flowers on the land compete for fragrance, and there is no fragrance by the blue pool. They don't compete with peaches and plums for spring breeze and July fire to send coolness. The scenery in Qiu Lai in northern Beijing is different, and the sky is high and the geese are blurred. Tieling is nowhere to be found, and the lotus pond is empty; Autumn sleep has no choice, fairy clothes are better than snow love; Why can't I see you sigh? Xia Feng is ten miles away.
& gt bleak autumn wind, flowers, dead leaves, swaying with the waves, thanks to the lead flower health machine. A little girl sat in the middle of the water in a spring rain. Wearing a pink shirt and sitting in a green boat, Ms. Shen is a botanist at UCLA. She cultivates all kinds of plants in her laboratory, but what she treasures most are two ancient lotus trees-both of which are about 500 years old.
"Ordinary flowers can only live for a few years." Ms. Shen said: "These two ancient lotus trees are very different. Their seeds have been baptized for hundreds of years and now they have sprouted and blossomed. "
Gu Lian, who has been sleeping for thousands of years, woke up a few years ago. Ms. Shen went to Beijing to visit the China Institute of Botany. When she returned to America, her colleague in Beijing gave her seven lotus seeds. "It is said that these seeds were excavated from lake sediments in the northeast. I know they are very old, but I don't know the exact number. "
Ms. Shen said, "I didn't pay enough attention to them at that time, but my lab colleague John Sassen found their value." John Sassen identified the age of ancient lotus seeds with a carbon isotope tester and found that they were actually left over from 1200 years ago! What is even more surprising is that when Ms. Shen cut off the seed shell with a blade and soaked it in the culture solution, it didn't take long to germinate! Unfortunately, these seeds have a short survival time after germination, but they have been listed as the oldest seeds that can germinate in the world.
Can the seeds of the Millennium germinate? ! This aroused Ms. Shen's great interest, and she decided to go back to China again to find these mysterious lives. At that time, Ms. Shen was already a well-known scholar in the field of international botany, and many scientists were willing to help her complete this research work.
The road to science is not smooth. The second batch of ancient lotus seeds that Ms. Shen brought to the United States has 2 1 grain, all of which are 200-500 years old. During 1997, Ms. Shen studied lotus cultivation techniques in Germany. Through "minor surgery", the first seed germinated, but only survived for less than three months.
"In the next three years, I cultivated three other seeds at the California Institute of Botany, but they didn't bloom-obviously, I used the wrong method." Ms. Shen recalled the past and said: "These two seeds have blossomed, which seems to be very lucky. These are the two trees you see now, one is 408 years old and the other is 466 years old. "
Although the ancient lotus has blossomed, it is different from the modern lotus and cannot fully adapt to the modern environment. "I am doing my best to make them thrive."
According to Ms. Shen, there should be a special reason why lotus can live so long; If we can find the internal mechanism of lotus longevity, human beings will benefit a lot, such as solving the problem of grain storage, reducing the hungry people in the world and possibly prolonging human life. The key question is: What is the secret of longevity of lotus? Ms. Shen said that it may be related to the radiation of the soil.
Gaiman harbert is a chemist. He works with Ms. Shen. Harbert found that the soil around the seeds of ancient lotus gave off slight radiation.
"Although the radiation intensity is very low, the effect after hundreds of years is still quite amazing." Ms. Shen explained, "This may be the reason why ancient lotus seeds can survive to this day."
It is reported that Ms. Shen still has 15 seeds left, which she intends to provide to other scientists so that the research project can be carried out on a global scale. "Lotus comes out of the mud and is not polluted, so it represents special significance in Buddhism."
Ms. Shen said: "Now we have to find out the secret of longevity of lotus and benefit all mankind." How does the ancient lotus that has been sleeping underground for thousands of years bloom? This is related to the structure of lotus seeds.
The outer seed coat of lotus seeds is hard and dense, like a small "sealed bag". Sealing the seeds inside can prevent the infiltration of external moisture and air and prevent the loss of moisture and air inside the seeds, so the life activity of lotus seeds is extremely weak, which is equivalent to being in a dormant state. This is an important reason why ancient lotus seeds still have vitality.
In addition, it is also related to the burial environment of ancient lotus seeds. These ancient lotus seeds are buried in a peat layer about 30-60 cm deep, and the peat has good water absorption and moisture resistance; In addition, the peat layer is covered with thick soil, so the ancient lotus seeds are almost in a closed environment.
In such an environment, ancient lotus seeds do not have the conditions to take root and sprout, so they can preserve their vitality. Reasons for rapid growth and reproduction of five lotus species. Since 1970s, William Barttelot, director of the Institute of Botany of the University of Bonn, Germany, and his team have studied the surface structures of more than 10,000 kinds of plants through electron microscopes.
This study finally reveals an interesting phenomenon: pour a few on the lotus leaf.
