Breeding science and technology enterprises need more loan support
Insufficient funds and difficulty in obtaining loans have restricted and affected the development of crop breeding science and technology enterprises. Liu Fengzhi, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and director of the Fruit Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said: At present, the financial institutions that provide loans to crop breeding science and technology enterprises are basically all commercial

Potato variety breeding accelerated to support staple food product and industry development
On March 2, Vice Minister of Agriculture Yu Xinrong visited the Institute of Vegetables and Flowers of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences to investigate the breeding of varieties for potato staple food products and industry development, and held a symposium to hear about research progress. Yu Xinrong stressed that confidence in the development of potato as a staple food must be firm

Soybean Meal Prices Tentatively Stabilize and Improve, But the Breeding Industry Has Not Yet Substantially Recovered
Recently, driven by factors such as feed enterprises stocking up and a decline in oil mills' operating rates, soybean meal has shown a moderate upward trend. In addition, imported soybean arrivals at ports are lower than the same period last year, which may lead to a phased shortage of raw material supply at some oil mills after the holiday, and soybean meal market circulation

How can standardized large-scale breeding be advanced under the new normal?
The Several Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Increasing the Intensity of Reform and Innovation and Accelerating the Construction of Agricultural Modernization was recently issued. This is the 12th consecutive year that the No. 1 Central Document has focused on the "three rural" issues. It states: increase support for the construction of standardized large-scale breeding farms (communities) for pigs, dairy cows, beef cattle, and mutton sheep, implement the livestock and poultry improved breed project, accelerate the advancement of large-scale, intensive, and standardized livestock and poultry breeding, enhance the competitiveness of the animal husbandry industry, and improve animal disease prevention and control policies.

Rising Temperatures Reduce Wheat Yields: It Is Not Too Late to Breed New Varieties
If adaptive measures are not taken, for every 1°C rise in temperature in the future, global wheat production could fall by 6%, which would cause a worldwide reduction of 42 million tonnes, equivalent to 1/4 of the current global wheat trade volume. In feeding the global population, wheat plays

China has initially established a breeding technology system for resin-producing pines
Recently, the resin-producing Masson pine (Pinus massoniana) and slash pine (Pinus elliottii) breeding technology system jointly built by the Research Institute of Subtropical Forestry of the Chinese Academy of Forestry, the Guangxi Academy of Forestry Sciences and the Fujian Academy of Forestry Sciences passed an on-site review by the Department of Science and Technology of the State Forestry Administration, marking that China has initially established a breeding technology system for resin-producing pines.

Why is high yield not the only goal of breeding?
As grain production ushers in an eleventh consecutive increase, the role of seeds in national food security is becoming increasingly prominent. With the development of science and technology, improved varieties are being introduced and upgraded, directly driving the per-mu grain yield upward year by year. Therefore, for a long time,

Marker-assisted selection will become the main direction of future breeding
Conventional breeding methods have limitations such as genetic variation and genome hybridization; in principle, these limitations can be overcome through genetic engineering methods (such as recombinant DNA). Using these methods, genes with defined functions can be cloned and introduced into different species in a rapid and highly specialized manner.

All major breeding counties must establish professional harmless treatment facilities
The Ministry of Agriculture, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Finance, and the China Insurance Regulatory Commission jointly held a teleconference today on the mechanism for the harmless treatment of dead livestock and poultry. The meeting required that all regions fully advance the development of the harmless treatment mechanism for dead livestock and poultry, and strive to ensure that dead livestock and poultry basically achieve harmless treatment, fundamentally solving the problem of arbitrarily discarding dead livestock and poultry.

How can breeding technology make seed production simpler?
The core competitiveness of a corn variety is mainly reflected in 3 aspects. The first is ease of seed production, that is, the seed production technology is simple and easy to operate, and the seed production yield is high, making it easy to ensure all quality parameters; the second is field performance, with high yield, stable yield, multiple resistance, and wide adaptability; the third is grain
