Chapter 537 The Kun that Can Photosynthesis
As we all know, plants can carry out photosynthesis because of the presence of chloroplasts in their cells.Chloroplasts convert light energy into chemical energy.
The inheritance of this structure in the cell is not entirely determined by the genetic material in the nucleus.The earliest chloroplasts were actually single cells.It's just that after parasitic in the cells, they lived better.Gradually, this symbiotic relationship gradually developed into the status quo of later plants.Chloroplasts are no longer individual cells, but become part of other cells.
This is actually the same as mitochondria.The genetic material inside the nucleus is only part of what determines a biological trait.The influence of cytoplasmic inheritance on biological traits is also very important.
Therefore, how to enable animals to perform photosynthesis has become a topic worth studying. The nanomachines implanted in organisms are, in a sense, cytoplasmic inheritance.It's just that when the current tulips use nanomachines, they know it but don't know why.Although the genetic material and components of nanomachines have been analyzed.But it cannot be produced by artificial means.Perhaps the long-term symbiosis can allow them to integrate with the human body, and eventually evolve into a creature that does not distinguish between each other.
However, the technology of controlling cytoplasmic inheritance and changing biological traits by increasing cell structure in the cytoplasm is still very worthy of research.
Allowing animals to perform photosynthesis is one of the important topics of this research, and the development team intends to adapt it to animals.Chloroplast cells are modified and implanted in embryos.
In this way, during the development of embryonic cells, there will be distribution of chloroplasts in each cell of the whole new life individual.In theory, photosynthesis can take place in this way.
But the situation is far from that simple. Plants can perform photosynthesis because they have supporting facilities.Chloroplasts are just software, whereas body structures suitable for photosynthesis are hardware.
There are no ducts and screens in the animal's body, and no pores on the surface of the skin.Inability to transpiration.Likewise, the nuclei of animal cells cannot direct the synthesis of proteins that inhibit the work of chloroplasts in cells that do not need them.
This led to abnormal development of these embryos even if implanted, and eventually turned into a pile of rotten meat.There are no surviving individuals in many experiments.
Of course, it is impossible for scientists to have only such a train of thought.Since embryos are prone to die due to foreign chloroplasts during development.Then the body modification of mature individuals has also entered the field of vision of scientists.
Undoubtedly, the modification of mature individuals is more difficult.There are 80 billion cells in the human body, and it is impossible to inject chloroplasts into these cells one by one.
So the chloroplasts had to be engineered so that they could replicate themselves without the guidance of the nucleus.And through a series of means to invade cells.
Tulip scientists have long been familiar with similar genetic research. A group of geneticists who started with zombie viruses are very good at how to make a cell aggressive.
It's just that extremes will reverse, they made chloroplasts too aggressive, and turned them into the current green poison.When experimenting on the body of mice, this chloroplast.The mice were killed within a short time.
The dead little white mouse was covered in miserable green.Put his body in the sun and found that photosynthesis can indeed take place.But because the breathing and circulatory systems had stopped, photosynthesis only lasted for a short time.Most of the cells then die.
Later, experiments were carried out with larger animals.The bigger the animal.The more it can resist the damage of this kind of chloroplast, because the volume of chloroplast is very small, and the genetic material that can be contained inside is also relatively small.The increased number of divisions can lead to the loss of genetic material, just like the telomeres of cells.
In the case of a large amount of genetic material being lost, the material added externally to the genetic information will be lost first.That is, the genetic information that induces chloroplasts to become aggressive.In theory, as long as the organism is large enough, enough chloroplasts are injected.There is a chance to achieve a symbiotic effect.
Once they did experiments with elephants, only injecting one chloroplast.The elephant survived for a full month, although its body surface turned green.But it didn't die immediately, instead it didn't need to eat.
It's just that the size of the elephant still seems to be a little bit worse, after a month.The elephant still died of a brain tumor.As for the 10-year-old soul beasts that were captured later, they were also used as experimental subjects.
A small amount of chlorophyll will be directly killed by the immune system of the 10-year-old soul beast.Waiting for a large number of chloroplasts will directly threaten the life of the 10-year-old soul beast.A balance needs to be found.And this balance point is obviously that the larger the body size, the more cells contained in the body, the easier it is to find.
Originally, Tulip wanted to capture the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and try it out.With that guy's huge size, there should be more than [-]% certainty that he can make it into a deep sea demon whale capable of photosynthesis
But now that he met Kunpeng, the problem was simple.The volume of Kunpeng is almost a million times that of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.This body shape does not even need to be adjusted, and it can allow the chloroplasts to reach a state of balance with itself.There is no possibility of failure at all.Unless Kunpeng killed dozens of tons of chloroplasts by himself.
But even if he wanted to, Chengying didn't have that much inventory.
Kunpeng probably understood Chengying's description, but he was still worried that such a dangerous thing directly entered his body. After thinking about it, he pecked his wing with his sharp pistol.
From his point of view, he just tore off a small piece of flesh.There was an insignificant wound on the wing, but from Chengying's point of view, he tore off more than 100 tons of flesh from his wing.This is almost as big as an ordinary deep sea monster.
"You try it on this piece of meat first, and I will agree to the injection when I see that he is safe."
This is a reasonable request, knowing that this is a terrible thing, few people will be willing.Let someone inject him directly into his body.
Chengying nodded, 100 tons of body tissue is enough for a very small amount.Chloroplasts are in equilibrium with them.Chengying injected about [-] milliliter of the diluent into the big lump of flesh and blood, and then saw that the flesh and blood began to gradually turn light green from the injection site.
The green spread little by little and finally covered most of the flesh and blood before it stopped.
