Recent developments in plant biotechnology have revealed that radish can be genetically modified by a technique called "floral-dipping". This system has been used successfully to delay both bolting and flowering in radish by the co-suppression of the photoperiodic gene, GIGANTEA. Future research could use this system to improve the pharmaceutical value of the crop for global usage.
植物生物技术的最新进展表明,萝卜可以通过一种名为“花浸法”的技术进行基因改造。该系统已成功用于通过共抑制光周期基因GIGANTEA来延迟萝卜的抽薹和开花。未来的研究可以利用这个系统来提高这种作物在全球范围内使用的药用价值。
