“种子专项”已创制三十七个先导型品种——种业有了智慧“中国芯”

Core Insights - The "Seed Precision Design and Creation" project by the Chinese Academy of Sciences has made significant advancements, particularly with the development of the hybrid silver crucian carp, which addresses consumer concerns about fish bones [1] - The project aims to establish a self-sufficient and leading seed science system to enhance agricultural productivity and food security in China [1][3] Group 1: Achievements in Crop Breeding - The "Zhongke Fa" series of rice, led by Li Jiayang, has become a "star variety," with "Zhongke Fa No. 5" yielding over 20% more than local premium varieties in Northeast China and achieving a yield of over 600 kg per mu in saline-alkali land [2] - In the southern double-cropping rice areas, "Zhongke Fa Early Jing No. 1" has achieved a breakthrough, allowing for the early market release of high-quality new rice by 2 to 3 months [2] - The project has developed a nitrogen-efficient gene that allows rice to maintain stable yields with a 20% to 30% reduction in nitrogen fertilizer, promoting green farming practices [2] Group 2: Disease Resistance and Economic Impact - The research team has identified the broad-spectrum disease resistance gene Pm24, leading to the development of the high-yield, disease-resistant wheat variety "Zhongke 166," which has been promoted over 1.5 million mu, significantly reducing pesticide use [2] - The core objective of the project is to achieve a 10% to 20% increase in yield, a 15% to 20% reduction in input, and a 15% to 20% reduction in losses for plant and animal varieties, with 37 leading varieties created and 14.48 million mu of new crop varieties promoted [2]
