Genomics research will bring "soybean revolution"

Introduction: Gai Junyi, academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering, who is attending the sixth academician conference of the Chinese Academy of engineering, pointed out today that modern genomics research is likely to bring about a "soybean revolution" If we grasp genomics research, we will grasp the core of soybean breeding technology in the future In an interview with reporters, Gai Junyi, a professor at the National Soybean Improvement Center of Nanjing Agricultural University, said that China's science and technology administration has set up a few projects and topics related to soybean genome research, but there is a lack of a specialized organization and a systematic and complete plan, which is the main gap between China and developed countries in this field GVU United States soybean Joint Committee issued a white paper on soybean genome two years ago, and launched a research project on soybean genome American scientists believe that the key to soybean improvement lies in technological innovation Professor GVU Gai's Nanjing Agricultural University has proposed a project proposal for soybean genomics to the Ministry of science and technology in cooperation with the Institute of genetics, Chinese Academy of Sciences Experts suggested that we should develop a batch of molecular markers to construct soybean genetic map, explore excellent gene resource vectors for important characters such as yield, quality, disease and insect resistance, stress tolerance, and clone related genes or major genes for important agronomic characters China's national soybean research program has been carried out for 18 years, with the main goal of improving soybean fat and protein content The researchers bred 388 new varieties, including excellent commercial varieties with 23% oil content and 47% protein content GVU gaijunyi said that the research progress of Soybean Improvement has been significant over the years, but compared with the international soybean development and China's own demand, it is far from enough The key to yield improvement is the genetic basis of varieties To improve soybean production technology, we must first develop genetic improvement research He suggested that the state should encourage the development of state-owned or private seed companies with independent breeding systems, gradually incorporate the selection of major soybean varieties, seed production and seed sales into the channels of seed companies, and form a new seed industry system At the same time, a research team of breeding, resources, genetics, physiology and even agricultural machinery should be built around soybean genetic improvement GVU soybean is the main grain crop in China, and the current soybean planting area in China is about 10 million hectares However, experts believe that soybean production is far behind the pace of development of other domestic food crops In the past 50 years, soybean production has increased only 62%, while other food crops have increased more than five times 'soybeans are a favorite health food for Chinese people, but there is a big gap in demand,' Mr Gai said From the long-term strategic consideration of the country, we must mainly focus on solving the problem of soybean supply at home GVU (author:) to feed Weibo to:
