Abstract

This article systematically reviews the relevant literature in recent years to analyze the development and research trends of the global seed industry and argues that the theoretical innovation research and practical innovation exploration of China's seed industry are not in-depth enough nor forward-looking enough. In view of the basic practical challenges faced by China's seed industry, the paper points out the specific measures of systematically deepening theoretical innovation and practical exploration in six aspects, including "quasi public goods publicity scheme, horizontal and vertical acquisition boundaries of seed companies, collaborative innovation mechanism cluster of seed industry, institution of social capital and insurance participation in innovation chain, transgenic series of social surveys, and introduction and exchange strategy of germplasm resource".
