2012年12月14日,在上海举行的“农业创意与种质创新”研讨会上,国际宇航科学院院士中国航天育种研究中心主任孙永成透露,“航天育种”已成为中国特色的新兴高科技研究领域。据介绍,现有试验证实,航天育种的农作物变异率高、稳定快、有益变异多、遗传性好。利用空间诱变育种,不仅是中国特色的新兴高技术研究领域,也是一项具有国际先进性和创新性的重大科学工程。 On December 14, 2012, Sun Yongcheng, director of the China Aerospace Breeding Research Center, a member of the International Academy of Astronautics, revealed at the symposium on “Agricultural Creativity and Germplasm Innovation” in Shanghai that “space breeding” has become a new phenomenon with Chinese characteristics High-tech research field. According to reports, the existing tests confirmed that space mutation breeding crop mutation rate is high, stable fast, beneficial and more genetically modified. The use of space mutation breeding is not only an emerging high-tech research field with Chinese characteristics, but also an important scientific project with international advanced and innovative features.
