Back a million steps, it is genetically modified vegetables, can also be planted as flowers, I really can not resist its beautiful or a variety of temptation. Colorful ornamental peppers I started planting in 2000, when planted colorful peppers and pearl peppers, in 2008, Ha Lao sent me four varieties of colorful ornamental peppers, plus before and after the planted varieties of up to a dozen. First of all, from my planting experience. 1, colorful ornamental peppers can keep their own seeds. These colorful ornamental peppers, the longest has been more than ten years of planting time, the whole section is their own seeds, so many years, varieties have not changed. Genetically modified vegetables either can not stay seed, or stay seed is the king's old man in the New Year, a year is not as good as a year. 2, colorful ornamental pepper head is not big, but without exception retained its predecessor's spiciness, this characteristic has always existed. 3, colorful ornamental pepper, although the flowers, fruits hanging full of branches, but the yield is not high, because it is far from the head of the bell pepper is so large, the number of peppers than the number of line so much. 4, planted on the balcony The plant also has pests and diseases, is intolerant of weeds, is not heat-resistant, and does not tolerate low temperatures. To sum up: colorful ornamental peppers do not have the most important characteristics of genetically modified, not resistant to pests and diseases, not resistant to weeds, not resistant to drugs, have spiciness, not high-yield, can be left to plant. So with my personal observation of planting the conclusion is: colorful ornamental pepper is not genetically modified vegetables. Of course, this is only my personal opinion, very shallow, mind friends can also be based on the following two aspects for further judgment. Second, in the most comprehensive genetically modified vegetable directory can not be found in the list of colorful ornamental peppers. 1, has been identified in the directory of genetically modified pepper varieties 1), genetically modified cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) pepper "double abundance of R" 2), genetically modified cucumber mosaic virus-resistant bell pepper PK-SP013), CMV and TMV-resistant genetically modified line peppers 4), salt-tolerant peppers 5), genetically modified dual-resistant tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and cucumber mosaic virus (TMV) (CMV) and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) chili Nongda 406), transgenic double resistance to tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) chili Xiangyan 1 2, the basic confirmed and highly suspected transgenic chili pepper directory chili pepper viral disease resistant varieties, the specific varieties: disease-resistant, disease-resistant varieties of Bulgarian chili peppers, Zhong Pepper No. 2, Zhong Pepper No. 3, Zhong Pepper 4, Zhong Pepper No. 5, Nongda 40 Sweet mixed 2, early abundant 1, Su Pepper 2, double abundant, Luo Pepper 1, Lu Pepper 1, Lu Pepper 3, early mixed 2, Xiang research 1, Liao Pepper 4, Liao Pepper 3, Shen Pepper 2, Eggplant, Jilin 3, 7604, Xiangyang Pepper, Bayan Pepper and so on. 3, suspected genetically modified pepper directory (bell peppers, line peppers, etc.): colorful bell peppers, pepper 10 (early maturity slightly spicy pepper), Su pepper 13 (formerly known as 91 sweet pepper), Liberte A - pepper, purple and yellow pepper Three, on the ornamental colorful peppers whether the information is genetically modified (excerpts) Q: the original colorful peppers we have here, which kinds? Q: What kinds of colored peppers did we have here originally? Where are the records, can you give us a place? Regarding whether colorful peppers are genetically modified, I personally believe that with reference to papaya, which is already almost 100% genetically modified, colorful peppers are also very likely to be genetically modified. A: Of course it is not genetically modified. In the 1980s, there were colored peppers! Genetic modification is definitely not something that can be done easily, it requires high research and development costs and a long safety assessment cycle, there is no reason why anyone would go genetically modified to change the color of a pepper! Anyone who engages in genetic modification will consider its practical value! Most of today's colored peppers are mutated and then hybridized. The ornamental plant, the colorful pepper, was available in the 1950s! A: Genetically modifying a plant just to change its color doesn't even recoup the cost of the minimal application for approval to grow it, let alone its expensive research and development costs! Colorful peppers are native to the Americas, and as for the Americas having them ages ago who knows, Asia had them in the 1950s! Those colorful peppers nowadays are the result of hybridization! At present, the cost of research and development of genetic modification is still high, the application for approval of planting is extremely difficult, any research and development of genetically modified institutions, are running to the profit to research, never anything are engaged in genetically modified. A: If we don't produce enough vegetable seeds, we will import them! If other people's vegetable seeds than our own excellent should also be imported, China's imports of seeds are also bound to grow at a high rate! But this growth does not mean that imports are necessarily genetically modified. Q: Let's not discuss the issue of genetically modified, I am only concerned about those you said in the 1950s on the traditional colored pepper seeds and now on the market in the performance of colored pepper seeds in the traits to see what the difference? If there is no difference, the traditional seeds that existed in the past would have been the same traits and yields of the color pepper seeds that are being introduced now, so do we need to reintroduce them and let foreign seed companies make money off of us? If there is a difference, what is it? This is urgent to know, because I do not understand the previous colored peppers, I can not find this information to prove. A: The current colorful peppers are certainly not the original "colorful peppers", but are peppers, since the original colorful peppers already exist, the current colorful peppers should of course be obtained by hybridization, the advantage of genetic modification is the genes of different species directed to the combination together, the same species of different traits can be obtained by hybridization, who would not be Who would not spend much more manpower and resources to engage in genetic modification. Q; here do not talk about genetic modification, I just say, if there is already a local hybridization of colorful peppers, then also imported foreign seed companies for what? Why are they still letting others take up most of the market share? Why? Since they're both varieties originally from South America, even if they're hybrids, what's the difference between the two? For the same thing but keep their own seed resources do not use, but most of the colored pepper seed market share to others to let them make money, this is how it is, not a fool? Don't you feel very ridiculous inside? A: Now the colorful pepper and the previous colorful pepper is not the same, other people's colorful pepper and ours is not the same, we only have the previous colorful pepper varieties. A hundred years ago, the Japanese introduced from our country Wenzhou honey orange three varieties, a hundred years later, Japan on the basis of hybridization and mutagenesis cultivated more than six hundred varieties of honey oranges, but we still have only three varieties, the eighties of the last century, our country and the introduction of nearly thirty varieties of honey oranges from Japan, the name of the name is generally still known as the Wenzhou honey oranges, but of course, not Wenzhou's original varieties. You said the introduction of colored pepper varieties is similar to this!
