Economic Observation Network According to CCTV, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that seed source security is related to national security, and we must make up our minds to develop China's seed industry, achieve scientific and technological self-reliance and independent and controllable seed sources.

In the first year of the 15th Five Year Plan, China has deeply implemented the seed industry revitalization action, steadily improved the level of seed source security guarantee, and provided strong support for agricultural modernization.

At present, wheat in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is in the process of grain filling, which is a high incidence period of Fusarium head blight. This year, the highly efficient anti Fusarium head blight wheat variety "Yangmai 53" has been widely promoted and applied for the first time, which can reduce pesticide application and increase yield.

At this year's National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, General Secretary Xi Jinping, while participating in the deliberations of the Jiangsu delegation, inquired in detail about the situation of the new wheat variety "Yangmai 53" from breeding personnel, and earnestly entrusted that the seed industry is the most important, and to promote agriculture, the seed industry should be promoted. General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches great importance to the revitalization of the seed industry, from grain crops such as wheat, rice, and corn to important agricultural products such as fruits, vegetables, and aquatic products. In 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping deployed and implemented the Seed Industry Revitalization Action from the strategic perspective of national security. He emphasized that it is necessary to promote the national seed industry, elevate seed source security to a strategic level related to national security, concentrate efforts on solving problems, filling gaps, strengthening advantages, and controlling risks, and achieve scientific and technological self-reliance and controllable seed sources in the seed industry.

Nowadays, the proportion of self selected crop varieties in China exceeds 95%, achieving the main use of "Chinese seeds" for "Chinese grain". The proportion of high-quality rice varieties exceeds 55%, an increase of 10 percentage points from 2020, driving the overall improvement of rice quality grades; A batch of new corn varieties with high density tolerance are leading a new round of variety updates and yield increases; The supply of cabbage is fully covered throughout the four seasons, the disease resistance of yellow croaker is continuously enhanced, and the independently cultivated white feathered broiler chickens are going abroad... Innovation in the seed industry is constantly filling the gaps and promoting industrial development.

The outline of the 15th Five Year Plan proposes to deeply implement the action of revitalizing the seed industry, strengthen the protection and utilization of germplasm resources, improve the commercial breeding system, strengthen joint breeding research and development, cultivate new varieties with high yield, high quality, stress resistance and wide adaptability, and enhance the level of seed source security guarantee.

Anchor the target and comprehensively implement a series of precise measures.

This year, China's breeding innovation and research have accelerated comprehensively. With the support of major scientific and technological projects in the national seed industry, this breeding enterprise has created a new scene of intelligent breeding and established an independent and controllable biological breeding technology system.

Focusing on meeting the needs of the people for a better life, this year, China will accelerate the breeding of excellent flavor quality products, enriching the dining tables of the people with diversified products such as high-quality fruits and vegetables, livestock and poultry. In Yangxi, Guangdong, the early maturing new variety "Xiantao Litchi" jointly developed by the National Lychee Breeding Association is about to enter the market for the first time on a large scale. 25 advantageous scientific research and teaching units and enterprises have carried out collaborative research and development, and have developed a series of new varieties with different flavors for early, middle, and late ripening, extending the lychee production period by more than two months.

In order to solve the problem of variety homogenization from the source, this year, China has deeply implemented the crop germplasm resource improvement plan and accelerated the exploration of more available and excellent resources. After the National Crop and Marine Fishery Germplasm Resources Bank, the National Livestock and Poultry Germplasm Bank will also be put into trial operation before the end of the year, providing basic support for breeding innovation.

According to the "Fifteenth Five Year Plan", by 2030, the self-sufficiency rate of China's core agricultural varieties will reach 85%, so that more dominant varieties will be firmly in their hands, and the jobs of more than 1.4 billion Chinese will be more stable and secure, providing basic support for promoting Chinese path to modernization.
