Firstly, we reviewed the situation of wheat production and development trend, as well as the principle and application of gene transfer mediated by low energy ion beam. Secondly, we introduced a non-reducing disaccharide--trehalose, which is widespread in nature, and its research advancement on helping plants survive better during enviromental stress. Then, based on trehalose-6-phosphate synthase gene, we did relevant research in order to improve the drought tolerance of wheat.
We con...
