Developing a new rice variety requires tremendous efforts and years of input. To improve the defect traits of the excellent varieties becomes more cost and time efficient than breeding a completely new variety. Kongyu 131 is a high-performing japonica variety with early maturity, high yield, wide adaptability and cold resistance, but the poor-lodging resistance hinders the industrial production of Kongyu 131 in the Northeastern China.

However, the cultivated area of Kongyu-131 has decreased each year due to extensive outbreaks of rice blast. To achieve the goals of improving blast resistance and preserving other desirable traits in Kongyu-131, a genome-updating method similar to repairing a bug in a computer program was adopted in this study.

- The study aimed to establish a cell mass suspension culture system for Fritillaria cirrhosa to efficiently identify optimal conditions for cell growth and hormone combinations.
- Researchers compared various factors, including inoculum size and different hormone combinations, using MS medium and measured the total alkaloid content in the cultured cell mass.
- Results showed that the cell mass grew significantly faster in suspension culture, yielding higher alkaloid levels than both wild and commercial bulbs, with the best conditions set at an inoculum size of 30 g/L and specific hormone concentrations.
