A research team led by Professor Murata Minor of the Institute of Resources and Plants at Okayama University in Japan announced on the 25th that they had successfully created chromosomes with genetic information in plant cells. This achievement will help develop new crop varieties. The research team used Arabidopsis thaliana, using the "top-down analysis" method, by manipulating the original chromosomes in the cell and adapting them to produce a circular artificial chromosome that is smaller than the normal chromosome. Even self-pollinated seeds, more than 40% inherited this artificial chromosome. The research team said that it is the first time in the world to use plants to make artificial chromosomes that can be inherited by the next generation. By implanting specific genes into this chromosome, new plant and crop varieties that can resist diseases, insects and lodging can be cultivated. Murata said: "With this technology, it is also possible to implant disease resistance and lodging resistance genes only during rice growth." Related papers on this achievement have been published in the British "Journal of Plants".
