Seeds are the "chips" of agriculture. After innovation in breeding technology, China's rice is entering the 4.0 stage of intelligent breeding. The 4.0 stage is an intelligent breeding stage that utilizes biotechnology and digital technology for gene editing, which will greatly improve the utilization rate of germplasm resources, release resource value, and help fight a successful turnaround in the seed industry. On July 5th, at the Global Digital Economy Conference · Digital Economy Empowerment Seed Industry Revitalization Special Forum, Qian Qian, an academician of the CAS Member, said. Technological innovation in the seed industry is the key to its development, and digitization is the trend of technological innovation in the seed industry. "Through the efforts of Chinese breeders represented by Yuan Longping and Xie Hua'an, China's rice has' gathered the best and eliminated the worst '. The key now is to make full use of digital capabilities to further transform China's germplasm resources advantages into breeding innovation advantages." Qian Qian said. In the eyes of breeders, digital technology has accelerated the breeding process. "In the past, breeders used to 'choose what they saw', but now they can choose through digital technology - 'predict before verify', which greatly expanded the breeding scale and accelerated the breeding process." Li Liang, deputy director of the Genetic Breeding Center of the Crop Science Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said. In the traditional industry of seed production, the digital economy is playing a huge role. The world's first rice whole genome breeding chip, the world's first watermelon whole genome sequence map, and the world's largest standard DNA fingerprint library of corn varieties... a series of digital technology innovation achievements have consolidated the technological foundation of Beijing's "seed industry capital". Ten seeds from across the country, one from Beijing. "Beijing has incorporated agricultural scientific and technological innovation into the construction of the Beijing International Science and Technology Innovation Center, and is making every effort to build a 'seed industry city'. It is gradually promoting the digitization of the seed industry, establishing 'phenotype+genotype' intelligent breeding technology, accelerating the pace of precision breeding, and gradually realizing customized design breeding." Zhu Xi'an, deputy director of the Economy of Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology, said. Through multiple implementation practices, the transformation and industrialization process of breeding achievements in China is accelerating. "The government of Pinggu District of Beijing and enterprises are jointly building a large database of digital seed industry to try to automate the collection of traits in the livestock and poultry seed industry. Once achieved, breeding will achieve an exponential leap." Wang Yizhong, director of the Seed Industry Management Division of Beijing Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said. Beijing Tongzhou International Seed Industry Technology Co., Ltd. has established a smart breeding common technology service platform. According to Jin Feng, the person in charge of the operation of the company's molecular breeding laboratory, the platform, in cooperation with scientific research institutes, has jointly developed more than 60 molecular markers related to quality and disease resistance traits in Cash crop such as tomatoes, peppers, watermelons, melons, cucumbers, Napa cabbage, etc. Every year, the platform provides resistance screening of nearly 500000 plant breeding materials for more than 400 vegetable seed enterprises in 29 provinces and cities across the country. Facing the future, as a country with abundant germplasm resources, how can China transform them into genetic resources? This requires digital technology to help us select good varieties from random selection to precise selection. Through precise molecular design and whole genome molecular marker assisted selection, crops with ideal plant types, high yield, high quality, and stress tolerance can be aggregated, "Qian Qian said. In February of this year, the national crop
