On December 10th, 2024, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs held a press conference on introducing the national survey of agricultural germplasm resources. Liu Xu, an academician of China Academy of Engineering and the leader of the expert group of the third national survey of crop germplasm resources, said at the meeting that most of the resources currently preserved are traditional local varieties and wild related species, on the one hand, they are rich in excellent traits and genetic resources, but most of them are heterogeneous groups, with more genetic burdens, and the good traits are prominent, and the bad ones are also in them, so it is difficult to directly use them in breeding, and it needs to be improved and transformed. Because of the long period, high investment and slow effect of resource improvement, breeders are generally reluctant to engage in the improvement and creation of basic materials, which is one of the important factors that lead to the narrow genetic basis of breeding and restrict the improvement of current breeding innovation ability. This year, we have started to implement the germplasm improvement plan. As the first step, we will start with the most urgent improvement and innovation of maize germplasm resources, try first and try hard to solve the dilemma of insufficient germplasm resources. We want to create a number of excellent varieties that are "available, easy to use and want to use" and provide germplasm support for accelerating the cultivation of breakthrough new varieties. In the next step, we will summarize and implement it while gradually extending it to important crops such as soybeans and rapeseed.Media: Biden's government strives to ensure a ceasefire agreement in Gaza before January 20th next year.
