In may 2022, new varieties of the “momats” series of dry potatoes produced by the autonomous municipality of ulaanbaatar, the autonomous region of inner mongolia, entered the pilot phase in daejeon。
In order to accelerate innovation in the potato industry and farming industry, in 2020, the science and technology department of inner mongolia selected the city of ulaanbaatar, where the potato industry cluster is better placed, to build the countryPotato farmingThe centre for technology innovation (cti) and its support through the focus of the science and technology for development initiative。
The director of the institute of agricultural sciences of the city of ulaanbaatar, yoon yu, introduced the new variety of “momats”, which began in 2013 with mixed breeding and some new varieties have entered the field trial stage after nearly 10 years of scientific research. The new varieties in this series, which are suitable for inland mongolia, are drought-resistant, disease-resistant, high-salt potato-specific varieties, and have now been phased in, with the selection of the abundant, disease-resistant varieties “opta 1” and “opta 6” and high-salary varieties, which will also enter the daejeon extension phase in 2023。
At present, the technical innovation centre for the potato industry in inner mongolia is conducting a technical campaign around the core issues of the seeding industry. It has selected six new varieties, such as anti-disease, high yield, pre-cooked food, high starch and drought, and has established a potato seed bank。
In addition to the research carried out by the institute of scientific research, which has been actively promoting technical research in the potato industry, a number of potato-producing enterprises have been involved in breeding research, with better results。
Inner mongolia, china agrobiotechnology ltd. Has been working on the breeding of new varieties of potatoes, which have become seven new varieties of “medium plus series”. Liu guangjing, deputy director-general of the company, explained that currently, six of the new “middle-plus” varieties produced by the enterprise have received registration certificates from the ministry of agriculture and rural development for new varieties and four new varieties are protected by new varieties of plants. In may 2022, companies successfully identified the first industries in the countryScience and technology innovationThe major demonstration project, the "show-to-show" project, will address technological challenges in such areas as the innovation of potato seeding resources, the selection of new varieties, and the associated planting techniques。
In addition, research on the breeding of metatomic molecules in nepal is proceeding steadily. In recent years, the research team of the technical research centre for potato engineering of the university of inner mongolia, based on an excavation test of critical genes such as potato production, quality and so forth, has selected new varieties of pre-maturated, high-dry potatoes in conjunction with molecular markers, and has been experimenting in several parts of the country。
From seed identification to biotechnology breeding
Inner mongolia, research in the potato industry has gone through the process of seeding from abroad to hybrid and hybrid varieties, to biotech breeding. In the future, the country's potato industry will achieve high-quality development and will need to overcome the challenges of core technical research, the development of industrial subjects and the cultivation of potato talent。
Professor qi-jian, research centre for potato engineering and research, university of inner mongolia, divided into four stages of development of biological breeding techniques: original domestication selection, version 1. 0; hybrid breeding, version 2. 0; molecular breeding, version 3. 0; and intelligent molecular design, version 4. 0. At present, foreign potato breeding has largely achieved molecular marker assistive selection and transferal base, from “experienced breeding” to “precision breeding” of targeted and efficient breeding because of the molecular breeding, version 3. 0. At present, the traditional hybrid version of “2. 0” is still dominant in the breeding of potatoes in inner mongolia, where future generations choose inefficiently and with poor accuracy。
Industrial subjects are poorly nurtured and few enterprises are “bred” integrated. As a result of the interview with journalists during the month, there are currently a large number of domestic potato production and processing enterprises, but fewer enterprises are involved in research on potato breeding and few lead companies. Liu guang jing describes the long working cycle of potato breeding, which usually takes 10 to 12 years, and which is high and low-efficiency, with many bells. For the benefit of the industry, potato-growing and potato production are selected by the potato industry, with little regard for breeding studies. In addition, research on potato breeding in research institutes, colleges and enterprises is in the form of “one-size-fits-all” and lack of cooperation, and insufficient development of integrated research and development in potato production also constrains the development of the potato breeding industry。
CultivationTalent shortageAnd there's a break. The researcher, cho chun mei, director of the potato breeding unit of the institute of special crops of the inner mongolia academy of agropastoral sciences, explained that in the 1970s, a group of older men from the inner mongolia agricultural institute and the city of ulaanbaatar had done a great deal of work on potato breeding, and that the country had been guided by the detoxification technique of the cutting of the head of the inner mongolia potato. However, from 1998 to 2008, research on the cultivation of potatoes in the inner mongolia focused on breeding and research on the breeding of potatoes stalled. Ten years of “scrambling” of potatoes have led to the loss of many breeding talent, which is currently more problematic in nepal。
Technology leads to major players
The cold and dry climate and semi-salinized soils of the inner mongolia are good breeding grounds for potatoes. In mongolia, the development of the potato industry should be guided by the scientific and technological aspects of the farming industry, support enterprises in their efforts to do more, accelerate the training of leading soldiers in potato breeding and work towards the establishment of a modern potato farm base。
(b) provide stable support for basic research and insist on science and technology leading to the revitalization of the seed industry. Qi jian jian said that, at present, a number of new varieties of potatoes have been financed in the country, but relatively little support has been provided for more ground-level and core basic research projects. In his view, local governments should increase their support for basic research, such as critical agro-drilling, and provide stable support for scientific research projects aimed at the cross-cutting development of the intra-mongolian industry through scientific and technological innovation。
Accelerate the deep integration of science and business and foster core competitive industrial subjects. Liu guang jing said that it would be useful to encourage further integration between the academy of sciences and a larger number of enterprises, to promote joint research and research on good varieties, and to speed up the research and dissemination of potato breeding technologies through policy guidance and financial support, to foster core competitive industrial subjects and, ultimately, to build a modern national base for potato farming。
Accelerated training of leading soldiers in potato breeding and active introduction of innovative talent. Cao chun-mei stated that her country should accelerate the development of skilled potato breeders by supporting projects with national and international potato breeders with special funds to train leading soldiers in potato breeding, while actively introducing innovative, high-end talent in domestic and international potato molecule breeding, leading to the revival of the potato industry。
