A large area of ??wild soybeans was discovered in Sihong County, my country, covering an area of ??more than 600 square meters. This discovery also made our people very excited. Many people don't know what this discovery means. I believe these simple examples will reveal the answer. The United States came to visit unexpectedly and exchanged a soybean seed with our country before leaving. The United States gave us genetically modified soybean seeds, and China gave us a locally grown soybean seed in return. It was a small seed, which caused great losses to our country.
1. The Americans took the soybean seeds provided by China, extracted high-yield genes, etc., and carried out genetic modification technology on the seeds, which significantly improved the soybean yield and other aspects. After all this, the United States applied for patents from many countries around the world, including China. With this patent in the United States, we can make hundreds of millions of dollars in profits every year, and even my country has to pay a high price to buy their genetically modified soybeans.
2. It is obviously China’s germplasm resource, but it has been used as a wedding dress for the United States. In fact, there are many such examples. Although a small seed is inconspicuous, if improved, it can change the destiny of a country. Once, in order to allow the Syrian country to use the seeds they provided, the United States seized Syrian resources, stole grain, and set fire to grain fields. However, the seeds sent to Syria for free by the United States contain a large number of nematodes. If they are not discovered by the Syrian agricultural department, once they are planted in large quantities, they will bring devastating harm to Syria and even have a huge impact on local agricultural output.
3. Only if you have characteristics can you be qualified as germplasm resources. The germplasm resources will be collected in the China Germplasm Resource Bank. Although there are large areas of artificially cultivated soybeans, the genes of these soybeans are very similar and can even be regarded as clones of a few plants. It cannot be called germplasm, and it is difficult to use them to breed better soybean varieties. But wild soybeans are different. The genetic diversity of wild soybeans is very similar. Some taste better, some have higher yields, some have strong insect resistance, some have good disease resistance, and some have high oil yield. Using the genetic diversity of wild soybeans, scientists can breed better soybean varieties. .
