For China , recrudesce the fostering sphere is a mellow precedency in their goal of improving food security . One of the critical success factor for developing this sector is to have an extended germplasm bank . In this lighter , China completed a nationwide survey to map out agricultural germplasm imagination , shroud crops , livestock , and aquatic resource . It was the first time that aquaculture was include , even though China is the largest producer of aquaculture in the world . China consider mapping out the agrarian germplasm resources as a central and essential step for the ontogeny of the seed industriousness , as it aims to ensure a stable and secure supply of grains and important farming products , which is a top antecedency in China .
The sight was the most extensive survey so far and lasted for three years . The survey results show that more than 530,000 piece of agrarian germplasm resources were collected . Eighty high - quality imagination with potential utilization and commerce time value were found and released , and 746 endangered agrarian resources were rediscover and protect .
The collected farming germplasm resource are stored in the National Agricultural Germplasm Resource Bank , and relevant scientific research will be carried out . Examples of relevant research are name mintage and key high - buckle under , high - quality , disease - immune species , which are superior characteristics in breeding for commercial-grade use .
China expects to extend to the following achievements based on the upshot of the sketch : increasing independency and self - sufficiency in come supply ; boosting competitiveness in germ reproduction , meliorate scientific innovation in ejaculate breeding technology , explore business enterprise potentials by employ the advantages of agricultural germplasm resourcefulness , make public awareness of imagination security , etc .
If China starts promote and put up domestic companies in genetic science action and breeding , it will increase challenges for foreign company in selling seeds and familial material to China . At the same time , it will also produce cooperation and business opportunity in the field of scientific enquiry and market - orient breeding . Some Dutch breeders have already work together with Taiwanese partner on joint breeding in China .
regrettably , we see that China regards germplasm as a strategic reserve , while an international rally could improve the varieties in the integral earth and also make them stronger . We also see that genetic resource , depending on mintage ' importance , are considered Chinese property . Although this is something Dutch companies doing breeding in China should be cognizant of , breeding in China can still be interesting for Dutch company because of the size of the Taiwanese market .
