This is what the reporter learned from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on the 22nd.
It is understood that the top ten excellent crop germplasm resources selected and released this time are all rare and characteristic local varieties with innovative development and utilization value newly discovered in the national crop germplasm resources census in 2022, including Mingshui Dahongmang Fragrant rice, Longshuiti old yellow corn, etc.; top ten excellent livestock and poultry germplasm resources are local breeds with a long history of breeding in my country, with typical physical characteristics and quality characteristics, including Laiwu pig, Qingyuan Ma chicken, etc.; top ten characteristic aquatic species The quality resources are the initial breakthroughs in breeding and breeding technology, and the promotion of aquaculture species that have begun to take shape, including Qinling slender salmon and crocodile.
