Ancient people genetically modified rice from 10,000 years ago

A study has just been published, showing that the elite of 10,000 years ago were 'scientists' of genetically modified water rice today.

>> New discovery of the origin of rice
>> Rice sown from "3,000 years of rice" is said to be a modern variety

The caveman developed the technique in the 'green revolution'.

Scientists point out that the ancients chose different varieties of rice, then mixed genes to create a new generation of rice with higher yields and better farming. The discovery comes after experts analyzed rice genes that grow naturally and rice grown. The results showed that the height of rice was higher than that of naturally grown rice expressed in the variant gene SD1 - the only gene found in wet rice today. This is one of the most important genes in the current rice variety, providing efficient yield, shortened growth time and high yields.

Dr. Yamasaki and colleagues from Kobe University (Japan) believe that the ancients began to care about the height of the rice stem and chose low trees with many seeds to harvest. This characteristic is expressed in SD1 gene .

Researchers said: 'In the process of domestication, ancient humans had scientific choices such as grain size, timing of flowering, maturity and harvesting time. These characteristics show that they have developed in life called "domestication syndrome".

The human 'green revolution' was once again discovered and it was artificial selection in the development of wet rice.
