On the occasion of spring ploughing, the No.1 document of the Central Committee was released.
Seeds are the "chip" of agriculture, and good seeds will yield abundant grain. This year’s No.1 Document of the Central Committee on the in-depth implementation of the seed industry revitalization action has sparked heated discussions in the seed industry.
On February 14th, a number of senior executives of listed domestic seed companies told shanghai securities news that this year’s Document No.1 of the Central Committee pointed out the direction for the application of biological breeding technology in China from the level of industrialization, which will promote the transformation of seed industry and enterprises from technology reserve to application, accelerate the development and application of new biotechnology, and further enhance the level and competitiveness of self-reliance and self-reliance of seed technology in China.
The industrialization of biological breeding is expected to speed up again
This year’s No.1 Document of the Central Committee pointed out that it is necessary to further implement the seed industry revitalization action. Including: fully implementing major biological breeding projects, solidly promoting the national breeding joint research and livestock genetic improvement plan, and accelerating the cultivation of high yield and high oil.soybeanNew varieties such as rape with short growth period and salt-tolerant crops. acceleratecornThe pace of soybean biological breeding industrialization, orderly expand the scope of the pilot, standardize planting management.
"This year, the No.1 Document of the Central Committee pointed out that it is necessary to speed up the industrialization of corn and soybean biological breeding, expand the pilot scope in an orderly manner, and standardize planting management. This has pointed out the direction for the application of biological breeding technology from the industrialization level, which will promote the transformation of China’s seed industry and enterprises from technical reserve to application, accelerate the development and application of new biotechnology, and further enhance the level and competitiveness of China’s seed industry science and technology. " On the morning of February 14th,Longping high-techA person in charge said, "The company has continuously increased investment in innovation. Under the guidance of a series of national policies to promote the development of modern seed industry, and in accordance with the requirements of’ standardization, proceduralization, informationization and scale’, it has taken the lead in establishing an enterprise-oriented, market-oriented and Industry-University-Research-closely integrated hybrid rice commercialization independent innovation system in China, covering both domestic and international markets and covering three platforms of biotechnology, traditional breeding and variety testing."
Previously,Quanyin high-techZhang Conghe, deputy general manager and chief technology officer, said that 2023 is the third year of China’s seed industry revitalization. Since China established the seed industry as a national strategic basic core industry, the seed industry has entered the "fast lane" of accelerated development. A number of large seed companies with scientific research strength have come to the fore. At present, China’s wheat and rice seeds are very competitive internationally, and corn is also catching up with the international level at a high speed.
A number of heads of listed seed companies said that the tone of document No.1 this year on "accelerating the pace of biological breeding industrialization" not only conforms to the overall situation of food security, but also meets the internal needs of domestic seed industry revitalization.
It is understood that the advantages of genetically modified seeds are mainly reflected in cost reduction and yield increase. In terms of cost reduction, transgene can be reduced.pesticideThe use cost of. As far as the yield increase is concerned, taking corn as an example, according to the research on genetically modified corn by authoritative organizations, genetically modified seeds can improve the yield of corn. Different transgenic traits have different effects. A single transgenic trait can increase the yield by about 0.5% to 4.4%, and the effect of compound traits is more obvious. For example, the compound traits of corn root worm resistance and herbicide resistance can increase the yield of corn by 7.42%.
"This year, the No.1 Document of the Central Committee proposed to implement a new round of actions to improve the grain production capacity of 100 billion Jin and to create tons of grain fields. Biological breeding, especially transgenic technology, is an important means to ensure food security and revitalize the seed industry. Many policies and regulations have been issued in China, such as the Measures for the Safety Assessment and Management of Agricultural Genetically Modified Organisms, to prepare for the commercialization of genetically modified organisms. With the approval of varieties, the genetically modified seed industry will usher in development opportunities. " A senior seed industry person told reporters.
Diversified layout of seed industry leaders is busy with "breeding"
according toTF SecuritiesThe research report estimates that after the commercialization of genetically modified seeds, the ex-factory caliber of genetically modified seeds (corn and soybeans) in China is expected to reach 43.2 billion yuan, and the profit is expected to reach 13 billion yuan.
Specifically, among A-share seed listed companies,Dabeinong, Longping Hi-Tech,Fengle seed industryDomestic seed industry head enterprises, such as Quanyin Hi-Tech, will take biological breeding represented by genetic modification as the key layout field of the company in the future.
Among them, Dabeinong’s transgenic product technology is leading in China. The company directly grasps the technology of genetically modified corn and soybean traits through holding subsidiaries, focusing on the development of genetically modified corn and soybean. The company’s genetically modified corn products mainly focus on the domestic market, while the genetically modified soybean products focus on domestic and South America. At present, the company has cooperated with more than 130 seed enterprises and cultivated more than 200 new biological varieties, which is the leading enterprise with the largest character reserve in China.
As the leading seed industry in China, Ruifeng 125, Ruifeng 8, nCX-1 and CAL16 declared by Ruifeng Bio, a genetically modified company owned by Longping Hi-Tech, and BFL4-2 jointly declared by Longping Hi-Tech and Institute of Biotechnology of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, have successively obtained safety certificates for agricultural genetically modified organisms.
"At present, Longping Hi-Tech has prepared for commercialization in the application of transgenic technology in accordance with relevant national requirements, and has also promoted biotechnology research such as gene editing and whole genome selection according to laws and regulations, and has made good progress." The relevant person in charge of Longping Hi-Tech told the reporter, "In the future, combined with the company’s mature and leading commercial breeding system, Longping Hi-Tech will continue to increase its investment in biological breeding technology, andartificial intelligence、big dataAnd other digital technologies, from the innovation of germplasm resources, the creation of parent materials, to the standardized testing and approval of varieties, continue to promote the precise design of variety cultivation, and constantly improve the breeding efficiency, yield, adaptability, resistance, suitable mechanization and quality of new crop varieties, and contribute to national food security. "
Quanyin Hi-Tech and Dabei Nong both undertook the first batch of research projects on the industrialization of genetically modified corn by the Ministry of Agriculture and obtained safety evaluation certificates. In 2015, Quanyin Hi-Tech took the lead in undertaking the "Industrialization Research Project of Transgenic Insect-resistant Corn’ Shuangkang 12-5’" jointly with Zhejiang University and other scientific research institutes. The project has been implemented, and the company has created transgenic corn varieties (lines) with outstanding insect-resistant characteristics and excellent comprehensive characteristics according to the project requirements.
