Study on Present Status of Plant Germplasm Resources Conservation and Countermeasures

植物种质资源保存现状与对策研究(英文)

Plant germplasm resources is the material foundation and key point for agricultural production, crop breeding and bioengineering. China is one of the centers for the origin of the cultivated plants worldwide, as well as one of the countries with most abundant plant resources and the highest biodiversity. Strengthening research in the conservation and utilization of plant germplasm resources is of significant value and importance. In this study, the present status of conservation, utilization, and existing problems of plant germplasm resources in China and around the world were reviewed; further, through analyzing measures taken by global countries for plant germplasm resources protection, countermeasures for plant germplasm resources conservation in China were also presented from three aspects, namely, collection and conservation, information network construction and national legislation and policies.

植物种质资源是发展农业生产、开展作物育种以及提高生物工程的物质基础和重要关键。中国是世界栽培植物主要的起源中心之一,也是世界上植物资源和生物多样性最丰富的国家之一。加强植物种质资源保存与利用研究,具有深远的作用和意义。文中综述了全球及中国植物种质资源的保存现状与利用以及存在的问题,并通过对世界各国对植物种质资源保护措施的分析,得出我国种质资源保存的对策,即种质资源收集和保存、种质资源信息网络建设和国家立法与政策保护3方面。
