Chinese Scientists Solve Mystery of High-Yielding Plateau China Leads in Research on in vitro Fertilization in Pigs

The Plateau is located 4000 meters above sea level, and as such would not seem to be such an ideal place for crops to grow. The air is thin, the weather unpredictable and often extremely cold, and the local farmers have never employed any special techniques in their crop cultivation. Nevertheless, in terms of yield per unit, the area consistently outperformed the rest of China when it came to wheat production. Naturally, scientists’ interests were sufficiently aroused to conduct a lengthy investigation.
