Academician Zou School: Through the construction of "Pepper Town", the development of the entire industry of pepper is promoted

Zou School, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the first batch of experts and members of the CEIDS of China Science and Technology Think Tank, and a member of the Evaluation Committee, and a vegetable breeding expert. Deputy Secretary and President of the Party Committee of Hunan Agricultural University, director of the National R & D Center of the State's State Food Vegetable Industry Technology.

President Zou has been engaged in chili breeding and resource innovation for a long time. Collected and preserved the largest number of pepper species resources in the country, innovated a group of excellent pepper breeding materials, created the most widely used pepper backbone parental copy, and developed a series of new chili varieties that adapt to market demand in different periods. The key technologies of industrialization have made outstanding contributions to improving the level of Chinese pepper technology and promoting the development of the vegetable industry.

Establish my country's largest pepper resource library

Pepper is the largest plant in my country, and the number of peppers in the country exceeds 600 million. Most of the chili varieties that can be seen on the market are cultivated by Zou School leading the team. Because it is difficult to adapt to the spicyness of peppers in many places, Zou school led the team to cultivate slightly spicy "beef -horn peppers" to hybridize sweet peppers and pepper peppers, becoming the first large -scale hybrid pepper variety to promote planting.

Zou school often says: "My scientific research in my life is to choose new varieties on a small pepper to meet the needs of farmers and meet the needs of the market." , Poor disease resistance, a single variety. Zou School developed the first new variety of "Xiangyan" series of peppers. It has high yield and good disease resistance. The income after planting has also increased by thousands of yuan. Subsequently, Zou School breeds a number of new chili varieties such as "Xing Vegetable 301", "Bo Spicy Red Li", "Bo Spicy Red Bull", with sparse branches, concentrated results, and highly dense cultivation. The output increased, and successfully helped farmers successfully get rid of poverty.

Zou School has been studying peppers for more than forty years. He said: "If vegetables want to grow well, breeding is the key." He led the team to collect and preserve 3219 pepper species resources at home and abroad. Resource library. Successfully cultivated 56 new varieties, which comprehensively improved the level of precocity, high yield, disease resistance, resistance, resistance, storage and transportation, and mechanized harvesting levels of early maturity. Among hundreds of pepper varieties across the country, the Zou school team cultivated one -tenth of the approximately. The chili varieties he led the team to develop more than 10 million acres in more than 10 countries and regions.

In addition, Zou school said that the output of pepper in my country has been fully guaranteed, and it is necessary to continuously meet the diversified needs of different people and different industries in flavor, taste, and application. At present, we need to further promote the diversified and diversified research and development of pepper taste. He said that capsules can be applied to all walks of life, such as tear bullets, drugs, health products and biological pesticides, etc., and can even be added to the outside of the paint on the outside of the ocean ships to prevent marine life vessels.

For how to vigorously develop the pepper industry, Zou School proposed that in order to develop fresh pepper market, it is mainly made of high -quality peppers; in terms of pepper processing, pay attention to the problem of production costs, minimize product costs, improve product competitiveness; The tertiary industry of pepper has vigorously promoted the pepper culture, such as the construction of the "pepper town" to promote the development of the entire industry of pepper.

Protect the niche germplasm resources

There are many types of vegetables in my country, involving 50 subjects and 298 species. Among them, the planting area of ​​domestic products with independent intellectual property rights exceeds 87%of the total sowing area. Zou School said that the level of vegetable industry and vegetable breeding in my country is the world's leading position, and the overall market share of domestic product breeds is quite high. There is no problem with ordinary people to eat vegetables at all. Whether it is quantity or quality, it is completely guaranteed. However, due to the large variety of vegetables, vegetable breeding shows insufficient research and development of some varieties, insufficient attention to the efforts, and difficulties in national investment. He said that vegetables with more comprehensive varieties, better flavors, and lower prices are currently the direction of scientific researchers.

Regarding how to ensure the supply of vegetables, Zou school believes that in the future, it is necessary to improve the quality of vegetable varieties; carry out special research, such as ginger, garlic and other mass consumer -type vegetable varieties. ; Strengthen the cooperation between vegetable planting and other vegetable planting and other vegetable planting entities, vegetable processing enterprises, etc., so that scientific researchers understand market demand and promote the close combination of industry -university -research and research.

Zou school said that the rich and diverse variety of vegetables represents high -quality and high -quality life. Scientific researchers should continuously guarantee and meet the right to choose from the people. At present, the survey and collection of research projects of vegetable germplasm resources in my country has not been subdivided to special personnel, and pays insufficient attention to some small varieties. This may cause us to study these varieties in the future and find that there are no quality resources. He believes that protecting the unique niche quality resources is very critical for future research. In this regard, Zou School suggested that relevant national departments should set up a special team to collect and organize vegetable germplasm resources; and increase investment to strengthen the collection and protection of germplasm resources, so that scientific researchers do scientific research without worry.
