(Summary description)Yuan Longping left, but left the "seeds" of innovation and struggle to later generations. For the Chinese seed industry, it is necessary to draw wisdom from him, and continue to promote seed industry innovation in an "indomitable" attitude. It is necessary to promote the circulation of breeding resources and talents between scientific research institutes and enterprises, so that enterprises can become the main body of seed industry innovation.

　　 Yuan Longping, the "father of hybrid rice", passed away in Hunan a few days ago, and people including seed industry workers have cherished the memory. Yuan Lao said, "People are like seeds, to be a good seed." Now that he is gone, he has left the "seeds" of innovation and struggle to later generations. For the Chinese seed industry, it is necessary to draw wisdom from him, continue to promote seed industry innovation, increase seed industry technology promotion, and ultimately win the battle of the seed industry.

　　 Yuan Longping gives confidence in rice breeding in our country, but we cannot be proud, we must correctly understand the current situation of our country's seed industry. Although rice and wheat breeding are our strengths, we must see that the competitiveness of corn and soybeans is not strong enough. Although foreign-funded enterprises account for only 3% of my country's seed market share, and imported seeds account for only 0.1% of the national seed consumption, it should be noted that the provenance of individual vegetables, white feather broilers, etc., are dependent on foreign countries to varying degrees. Although the area of ​​self-selected varieties of crops accounted for more than 95%, and the supply rate of core livestock and poultry species was more than 75%, it should be noted that the commercial breeding system has not been fully established. Seed industry innovation and agricultural production are still to some extent. Two skins". In a word, compared with developed countries, my country's seed industry is still on the rise.

　　 Actually, the development time of modern seed industry is very short. With the implementation of the Seed Law in 2000 and the start of the "Seed Project" as a sign, China's modern seed industry was truly born, and it took 20 years to traverse a history of hundreds of years in Western countries. The achievements have attracted worldwide attention, but the situation is also very urgent. At present, the external environment in the industry has undergone profound changes. Looking at the country, the comprehensive promotion of rural revitalization puts forward higher requirements for the seed industry, which requires both high yield and high efficiency, as well as green and high quality. A major breakthrough is urgently needed. Looking at the world, the merger and reorganization of the seed industry has been completed, forming three giants. The world seed industry is ushering in a new round of technological revolution marked by gene editing technology. With the increasing uncertainty of the external factors of the seed industry, the drawbacks of the seed industry's "stuck neck" are gradually appearing.

　　 The "stuck neck" disadvantage of the seed industry does not mean that the basic research on breeding in my country is insufficient, but rather refers to the poor organization of breeding. The number of breeders and the number of papers in my country ranks first in the world, and its scientific research strength is world-class, but its ability to produce large varieties is not world-class. For a long time, scientific research units have been engaged in scientific research, mainly focusing on distributing papers, evaluating professional titles, and doing topics, and lacked the energy and ability for industrialization. However, seed companies are generally small, scattered, and weak, and most of them are only responsible for sales and promotion, without the strength and ability of scientific research. Compared with foreign countries, the original innovation ability of related enterprises in my country is insufficient, and most of the innovative talents are still in scientific research institutes.

　　 It can be seen that the turnaround of the seed industry is not only a turnaround in variety applications, but also a turnaround in technological innovation. The selection and breeding of new varieties depends on the combination of many breeding materials thousands of times, and it takes many years to succeed. Many people have not been able to develop a variety in their entire lives. Breeding is a small probability event. Only when the technology is optimized and the base number is large, the chance of successful breeding will be great. Nowadays, the world's strong seed industry has entered the breeding 4.0 era of "conventional breeding + biotechnology + information technology + artificial intelligence". Most of our country is empirical breeding and is in the 2.0 era of hybrid breeding. Taking gene editing technology patents
