1, directly serving the biological, food and health industries.
Using space technology to develop crop cultivation is one of the most advanced scientific technologies in the field of crop cultivation in the world. Space seeds, space crops and space biosphere being studied at present are closely related to crop cultivation and have very attractive and broad development prospects. At present, 13 varieties have passed the national examination and approval, and 43 strains have been planted and popularized in a large area. With the rapid development of China's space industry, the space environment will certainly play a greater role in agriculture, biotechnology and microbial pharmacy, so that the space environment will better benefit mankind. The biggest advantage of using space technology for breeding is that it can create rare mutant gene resources that are difficult to obtain by other mutation breeding methods in a short time, which may completely change the research work of plant breeding in recent years? Difficult to climb? Wandering situation, cultivate breakthrough fine varieties, and directly serve the biological breeding production.
2. Create higher social and economic benefits.
At present, new varieties and strains of medicinal fungi, edible fungi, green peppers, tomatoes, rice and wheat have been successfully cultivated, and remarkable social and economic benefits have been achieved in production. On the other hand, excellent new germplasm and new materials created by space technology breeding can be widely used in conventional breeding and heterosis breeding. So as to cultivate more new varieties with high yield, high quality and strong stress resistance, promote crop production and sustainable development of aquaculture in a wider range, and its social and economic benefits will be greater. For example, through space breeding? Space seeds? Trained? Space pumpkin? The weight of a single melon is 46kg, and the price is 1200 yuan. This product attracts customers.
3. Space breeding can shorten the breeding cycle.
Normal crop breeding generally takes eight years, and space breeding can shorten the time by half. Because space mutation breeding makes the biological variation much faster than the natural variation of natural plants, it takes a short time and a very high frequency. It takes hundreds or even thousands of years to effectively accelerate or shorten the natural variation in the biological world in a short time. Coupled with strong cosmic rays and radiation in space, this is an important condition for genetic variation of plants. Therefore, after the seeds are brought back from space, they only need to be planted on the ground for four generations, and the varieties with stable performance can be cultivated, which can greatly shorten the breeding cycle.
4. Space breeding has created a brand-new breeding mode.
Space breeding has created a brand-new breeding model and provided new technical support for the development of modern Chinese medicine agriculture. So, introduce and try planting now? Space medicine? 、? Space vegetables? And then what? Space food? It has also gradually increased throughout the country.
