Can the seeds of adzuki bean trees in western Hubei apply for patent certificates?

The seeds of red beans in western Hubei cannot apply for patent certificates. Article 25 of the Patent Law stipulates that patent rights cannot be granted to animal and plant varieties, but can be granted to methods for cultivating animal and plant varieties. The protection of new plant varieties is a kind of intellectual property protection, which protects the rights of breeders related to their cultivated varieties. In different countries, the specific forms of protection are not completely consistent. In China, new plant varieties are protected in the form of new plant variety rights.
