The Ministry of Science and Technology actively promotes the commercial breeding of crops.

In order to implement the document "opinions of the General Office of the State Council on deepening seed Industry system Reform and improving Innovation ability" [issued by the State Office [2013], and promote the construction of a new scientific and technological innovation system for seed industry, in 2014, the Ministry of Science and Technology established and implemented the "Twelfth five-year Plan" National Science and Technology support Plan "main crop Commercial breeding Technology Research and Model demonstration" project. The project is led by seed enterprises, and key research teams are formed jointly by enterprises, scientific research institutions and universities, with varieties as the main line, and research tasks are set around the whole industrial chain and innovation chain of the crop seed industry. through the joint efforts of enterprises, scientific research institutes and universities to tackle key problems, while cultivating a number of breakthrough varieties, scientific and technological resources such as breeding talents, breeding techniques and breeding materials in scientific research institutions will flow to enterprises in an orderly manner. We will promote seed enterprises to strengthen the construction of commercial breeding capacity and conditions, form an effective mechanism for close cooperation between science and technology enterprises, establish a commercial crop breeding system and model, and enhance the independent innovation ability and international competitiveness of seed enterprises.

On September 24, the Rural Department of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Rural Center organized a seminar on crop commercial breeding and project promotion. Nearly 50 people attended the meeting, including managers of relevant departments and bureaus of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Agriculture, leaders of various projects, heads of domestic well-known seed enterprises, and crop breeding experts. At the meeting, eleven responsible persons of seed enterprises, including China seed Group Co., Ltd., Yuan Longping Agricultural Hi-Tech Co., Ltd., and Shandong Denghai seed Industry Co., Ltd., exchanged their understanding and practice of crop commercial breeding, the achievements they have made so far and the ideas for the next step. the implementation plan of each project is reported. The participants had extensive exchanges and discussions on how to build the commercial breeding capability of seed enterprises, enhance the level of independent innovation, and build a commercial breeding mechanism and model with Chinese characteristics in the new era.

Guo Zhiwei, Deputy Director of the Rural Science and Technology Department of the Ministry of Science and Technology, made a summary speech on correctly understanding and understanding the concept and connotation of commercial breeding, speeding up the process of commercial breeding, discussing the mode of joint research of industry, university and research in the commercial breeding system, and building a commercial breeding system with Chinese characteristics around the objectives and tasks of national crop breeding. He pointed out that in order to understand and understand the concept and connotation of commercial breeding, we must pay attention to the difference from traditional breeding methods, such as the decision-making of breeding objectives, the utilization of germplasm resources, the research and development of breeding techniques, field testing and evaluation, production and market feedback, etc. In terms of speeding up the process of commercial breeding, it is necessary to establish the concept of commercial breeding, establish a commercial crop breeding model as soon as possible by improving the innovation ability of enterprises, and establish and improve the corresponding commercial breeding system. In the construction of commercial breeding system, we should pay attention to the combination of production, learning and research, jointly tackle key problems, grasp the core problem that enterprises are not only the main body of innovation, but also the main body of investment, and focus on the core task of enterprises. At the same time, we should pay attention to the supporting and leading role of universities and scientific research institutes in basic research such as germplasm resources innovation and breeding technology research. In order to construct the commercial breeding system with Chinese characteristics, we should not only learn from the advanced model of multinational corporations, but also combine the reality of our country. At the same time, enterprises should do a good job in the planning of enterprise breeding according to their own situation, do a good job in top-level design, and establish a commercial breeding model with its own characteristics.
