Tomato breeding history revealed by Chinese scientists
Recently, an international tomato variome research team led by Huang Sanwen, a researcher at the Institute of Vegetables and Flowers of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and deputy director of the Agricultural Genomics Institute at Shenzhen, constructed a complete tomato genetic variation map by resequencing and analyzing 360 tomato germplasm accessions from around the world.

How should intellectual property protection for biological breeding be strengthened
Biological breeding is a technological innovation activity that uses modern biotechnology to breed new varieties of plants and animals, and is one of the strategic emerging industries spawned by modern biotechnology. Biological breeding is not only related to the future development of the biological industry and the new energy industry, but also concerns food

The development of a commercial breeding system should be oriented toward end-user demand
The development of modern biotechnology and information technology has provided internal impetus for commercial breeding, while the globalization of the seed industry has become a catalyst for commercial breeding in China. To accelerate the development of China's commercial breeding system, enterprises should be the main actors and the market should be the guide, while

Important breakthrough achieved in high-efficiency hybrid soybean breeding and seed production technology
A research group led by researcher Wei Baoguo of the Shanxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences, after more than 30 years of unremitting efforts, has achieved an important breakthrough in high-efficiency hybrid soybean breeding and seed production technology, opening up broad prospects for the utilization of heterosis in soybeans in China and even the world. Led by the Shanxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences

Feed costs plunge sharply, the breeding industry welcomes a warm winter in Q4
This year global corn and soybean harvests were abundant, and global agricultural product prices have continued to decline. With feed costs falling sharply and the meat supply-demand situation improving significantly, the breeding industry may welcome a warm winter in Q4. Feed costs plunge sharply, breeding industry welcomes warm winter in Q4

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

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.

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.
-
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,

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.
