"Salty" Rice Plant Boosts
Harvests{{/B}} British scientists are breeding a new generation of rice plants that will be able to grow in soil containing salt water. Their work may enable abandoned farms to become productive once more. Tim Flowers and Tony Yeo, from Sussex University’s School of Biological Sciences, have spent several years researching how crops, such as rice, could be made to grow in water that has become salty. The pair have recently begun a three-year programme, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, to establish which genes enable some plants to survive salty conditions. The aim is to breed this capability into crops, starting with rice. It is estimated that each y A. Natural barriers to sea water have been destroyed. B. The water table has gone down after droughts. C. Sea level has been continuously rising. D. Evaporation of water leaves salt behind. 更多"下面打3篇短文,每篇短文后有5道题,每道题后面有4个选项。请根据文章的"的相关试题: [单项选择] 下面打3篇短文,每篇短文后有5道题,每道题后面有4个选项。请根据文章的内容,从每题所给的4个选项山选择1个最佳答案。 {{B}}第一篇{{/B}}
