    At present, the breakthrough of agriculture, the revitalization of the countryside, and the prosperity of farmers are inseparable from the assistance of technological innovation
    .
    In Hunan, a team of academicians specializing in scientific research on the pepper seed industry, through scientific research and innovation, sold an obsolete pepper variety at a high price
    .
     
     Have you eatenthe " Moutai " in chili ?
     
    On the shore of the Xiangjiang River, there is a village called Youyi Village in Zhangshu Town, Xiangyin County, Hunan Province
    .
    Every household in the village is growing peppers .
    In recent years, the price of chili peppers can be said to have been rising all the way
    .
     
    A catty of fresh chili costs 300 yuan, which is 10 to 100 times the price of ordinary chili in the market
    .
    Liu Chao grows 67 acres of chili, and his annual income is about 130,000 to 40,000
    .
     
    Liu Chao said that this chili was the most expensive when it first came on the market, and it cost 50 yuan a catty when it was the cheapest
    .
    This kind of chili that sells at a high price is called Zhangshugang chili, and it has also become famous throughout the country
    .
     
    Zhangshugang pepper is named after it grows in Zhangshu Town, Xiangyin County, Hunan Province
    .
    Because Zhangshugang chili is high in price and effective, many farmers rely on it to get rid of poverty and become rich.
    It has also been introduced to many southern provinces
    .
     
    Zhangshugang chili has been born in recent years and has been eagerly sought after
    .
    But it is actually an innovative improvement from an old breed that has been eliminated
    .
     
      Although the old variety of Zhangshugang pepper was eliminated from the market, its seeds were kept in the pepper germplasm bank of the Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences
    .
    This is the second largest pepper germplasm resource bank in the world, 80% of the more than 4,000 germplasm resources are old varieties
    .
     
      Academician Zou School said that although it is an old breed, it also has great value.
    After innovation and improvement, it will burst out with amazing energy
    .
     
      Li Xuefeng, director of the Vegetable Research Institute of Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said: “Although the old Zhangshugang pepper varieties are early-maturing and have a good taste, they were eliminated due to low yield and poor disease resistance
    .
    Researchers have re-excavated this based on the new market demand.
    The potential value of the excellent genes of the breed
    .
    "
     
      How to turn stones into gold for such an old breed? This cannot fail to mention a special member of the research team-Yang Yihong
    .
    Yang Yihong founded a private fruit and vegetable practical technology research institute in 1986.
    Academician Zou School used to serve as the director of the Vegetable Research Institute of Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
    A good story of cooperation that lasted several years
    .
     
      The Zhangshugang pepper seeds selected by Zou School from the crop germplasm resource bank of Hunan Province were handed over to Yang Yihong
    .
    His task is to carry out research on the purification of Zhangshugang pepper varieties
    .
     
      Yang Yihong told reporters that pepper is a hermaphroditic and often outcrossed crop.
    Under natural conditions, self-pollination is the main form, but cross-pollination often occurs
    .
    In the process of planting for many years, when the varieties are not isolated, it is easy to form a hybrid, resulting in the degradation and alienation of the original excellent traits
    .
     
      What Yang Yihong has to do is to strip out the traits that do not belong to Zhangshugang pepper, and select the superior and inferior varieties in multiple groups
    .
    This purification takes three years!
     
      In three years and nine generations of breeding, it is impossible to do it in one place in Hunan
    .
    Yang Yihong carried out multiple breeding, separation and purification in Hunan and Hainan, and finally overcome the difficulty of Zhangshugang chili purification
    .
     
      At the moment, the scientific research team is continuing to work hard, hoping to further improve the variety
    .
    An important job of Mr.
    Dai Xiongze, a senior member of the Zou school academician team, is to taste hot peppers
    .
     
      In ancient times, Li Shizhen had tasted all kinds of herbs in order to study the medicinal properties of each medicine.
    Nowadays, tasting pepper is also a lifelong compulsory course for the academician team of Zou School
    .
    The members of the team, whether they like eating chili or not, must taste it in person for research purposes
    .
     
      Half an hour observation: Persist in reform and innovation and fight for a turnaround in the seed industry
     
      From being eliminated to regaining a new life, the old varieties of pepper in Zhangshugang, Hunan Province, driven by technological innovation, small seeds have become the key to open the treasure house of wealth
    .
     
      This year, the revitalization of the seed industry has started steadily.
    The national survey of agricultural germplasm resources has been fully carried out.
    The Supreme People’s Court and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs signed a memorandum of cooperation on strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights in the seed industry.
    The National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs jointly issued the "14th Five-Year Plan" Seed Industry Improvement Project Construction Plan", the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress reviewed the draft amendment to the Seed Law, and the newly revised national rice and corn varieties approval standards were released
    .
     
      It can be said that solving problems, making up for shortcomings, strengthening advantages, and controlling risks has opened the curtain of revitalization and achieved a good start
    .
    Little "seeds" full of wisdom are taking root and sprouting in the field of hope, blooming and bearing fruit, and embarking on a road to revitalization
