华南农业大学团队利用智慧育种方式 将育种周期压缩至3到5年 AI助推育种成为“可计算的科学”（创新故事）

Core Viewpoint - The article highlights the successful development and commercialization of the "Huahang Xiangyin Zhen" rice variety by South China Agricultural University, which has led to increased income for local farmers and is recognized as a super rice variety by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of China due to its high yield and disease resistance [1][2]. Group 1: Rice Variety Development - The "Huahang Xiangyin Zhen" rice variety achieves a yield of 720 kg per mu, making it a key product for local rice enterprises and contributing to farmers' income [1]. - The breeding process for this rice variety has been significantly accelerated, with the traditional breeding cycle of 8-10 years reduced to just 3-5 years, and specifically, the breeding cycle for "Huahang Xiangyin Zhen" was completed in 4 years [2]. Group 2: Technological Innovation in Breeding - South China Agricultural University is leveraging big data and artificial intelligence to innovate breeding processes, transforming traditional breeding methods into a data-driven approach [1][3]. - The high-throughput biological data analysis platform acts as a "digital engine" in modern breeding, bridging the gap between traditional experience-based breeding and smart breeding, thus enhancing research efficiency [3].
