'Catch' roses bloom in test tubes

Nguyen Hong Vu in the laboratory A very new trend from the beginning of 2006 is that many young people have come up with creative ideas that are likely to be applied in life . "All ideas are encouraged to all. who boldly offers, whether it's simple or complicated, easy to understand or weird "- that is the motto of many young creative groups today.

" Which element does the rose bloom at will ?" is a question that flower growers and many researchers have not found a clear answer. So that Nguyen Hong Vu - a fourth-year student in the Department of Biology of Ho Chi Minh City University of Natural Sciences - after a year and a half of hard work in laboratory research has found the answer.

Nguyen Hong Vu can do a doctoral thesis

According to Dr. Duong Tan Nhut - Deputy Head of the Da Lat Biological Sub-Institute, this is a risky and scientifically difficult topic, in the world the successful researcher only counts on the fingers, some people study life has not been discovered. A doctoral thesis can be made as it explains the mechanism of flowering in artificial conditions. The success of roses in vitro has great significance in basic science research such as breeding, genetics as well as opening a new market for mini flowers in vitro suitable for public offices. modern facility with typical benefits such as: not taking care of the job, occupying a small area, long life of flowers .

Vu said that when he was in his third year, Mr. Duong Tan Nhut taught the subject of Plant Biotechnology to propose Vu to study the topic of blooming roses in test tubes. Hong Vu accepted the invitation for a very . romantic reason: love roses. "After receiving the topic, I began to worry because many previous researchers did not succeed. After a few days of thinking, I was determined to do it, because I did not proceed but I was afraid that it would not succeed. his personality "- Vu said. After school, Vu went to the internet to search for documents. Vu said: "In the world, people have found a method for many kinds of flowers in test tubes, but with roses, there is only one study in Singapore in 2000. However, this document It has just opened the first steps in studying the factors that affect the flowering of roses. " Vu must ask the teacher to contact universities around the world to send documents related to the successful study of flowers in vitro for further research.

Roses bloom in test tubes

Having knowledge of the background, Vu went to Da Lat, went to Biology Sub-Institute to do experiments and went to Da Lat market to buy flower varieties for transplanting. After more than 1 year, Vu conducted research on 6 varieties of roses, 80 experiments. However, during one year of trying to try again the parameters of light, nutrients, plant growth regulators . but most failed. "There was a time when I was discouraged, not even a year yet, but there was no hope when the graduation report was near. Thinking about caring, walking, staying up, watching and thinking of people I always support, I try again ". Just over 6 months after the announcement of the results, Vu decided to change the in vitro environmental components and this bold decision "forced" the roses to bloom in test tubes. This resounding success was absolutely judged by the review committee.

After the success, Vu wrote the paper and submitted a research project to a specialized journal "Culturing cells, tissues and plant organs". Until now, after a few exchanges of information, the magazine representative announced that he would post Vu's article. Having a research project published in an international journal is a great opportunity for Vu to be recognized by the scientific community .

Meeting Vu at the University of Natural Sciences, you are excited to tell us the good news: you have just received a full scholarship from Korea for molecular biology in medicine. At the moment, Vu has completed the admission procedures and will go to school after eating Tet with his family.
