Plans are for the company's research team to test the viability of the returned seeds. One-third will be put in a long-term storage bank for native plant germplasm resources, while the remaining seeds will be used for breeding research.

The research team will screen for mutants with specific traits, create new germplasm with superior traits – such as stress resistance, broad adaptability and high yields – and cultivate new varieties.

M-grass is an ecological environment engineering company that provides solutions tailored to local conditions.
