Wild kudzu rice is on the verge of extinction, and artificial cultivation is difficult because it requires extremely high water and surrounding air quality. As long as there is a little bit of pollution in the water and the surrounding air, it will all die. In the environment of a modern city, Gexian rice can survive for a week at most, and its spherical structure will all be broken, and it will become "a pot of green soup", and there will not even be a "corpse" when salvaged.

Wild kudzu rice contains a total of 17 amino acids, including 7 essential amino acids for a total of 44619%, except for tryptophan, which may be destroyed during the treatment process, and only trace amounts of it are detected, other essential amino acids are high. The nutrient composition of cultivated kudzu rice is similar to that of wild kudzu rice.

Kudzu rice is rich in a variety of vitamins, such as VB1, VB2, VC, VE, -carotene, of which the content of ascorbic acid is similar to that of fresh jujube, equivalent to 5 times that of hawthorn and 15 times that of citrus.

In 2001, Gexian rice was carried into space by Shenzhou 2 for space cultivation, because Gexian rice is rich in nutrients, and at the same time, it is very easy to be completely absorbed by the human body, and there is almost no excrement. It is very suitable for astronauts to eat, so Shenzhou-2 specially carried it into space to study how to cultivate.

Morphological characteristics. The population is pseudospherical, the diameter of the sphere can reach a few millimeters to several centimeters visible to the naked eye, the algae are blue-green or yellow-brown, the outside is gelatinous coating, there are heteromorphic cells between the filaments, and there are many young algal filaments at the top.
