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

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.

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

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

Space breeding scope expected to expand, exploring modern agriculture with Chinese characteristics
Space mutation breeding is one avenue for cultivating many new crop varieties, has played a major role in agricultural production, and has made a certain contribution to solving the country's food security issues. Space breeding is a research direction with our Chinese characteristics, because other countries

Multiple seed companies accelerate commercial breeding: good varieties fear no bad market
This year's spring and summer planting seed sales season, for seed companies and the entire industry, is both the worst of times and the best of times. The market is poor, and heavy inventory pressure remains the biggest difficulty commonly faced by seed companies. Taking corn seed as an example, although the hybrid corn seed production area has fallen sharply for two consecutive years and inventory has dropped to 1 billion kg, based on the national hybrid corn seed production area and inventory change trends, changes in corn seed inventory generally lag behind changes in seed production area by about two years. According to this pattern, the first quarter of this year exactly corresponds to the peak in seed production area two years ago.

The breeding industry is beginning to recover, and feed demand will relatively improve
In the earlier period, after domestic corn market prices rose sharply for a consecutive period, the overall market recently showed a pattern of stability in the north and weakness in the south. However, judging from the current supply and demand situation in the domestic corn market, this north-stable, south-weak situation will be difficult to sustain for long. On the one hand, current domestic corn prices are still relatively high compared with the same period last year,

Breeding R&D Will Be the Breakthrough for Making Potatoes a Staple Food
In the mid-16th century, the potato was brought from South America to Europe by Spanish colonists. By the 17th century, because of its higher yield than other grains and its ease of management, the potato had already become an important food crop in Europe and was introduced into China. Today, China
