President Xi Jinping on March 6 stressed that germplasm resources security is closely related to national security, adding that China must strengthen its seed industry to achieve self-reliance in the sci-tech development of the sector and keep the country's germplasm resources independent and controllable. Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks when visiting national political advisors from the sectors of agriculture and welfare and social security, who are attending the fifth session of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). Xi participated in their joint group meeting, and listened to their comments and suggestions.

【知识点】

农业现代化，种子是基础。种子是农业的“芯片”，是确保国家粮食安全和农业高质量发展的“源头”。党的十八大以来，我国种业发展有了很大进步，为粮食和重要农产品稳产保供作出了重要贡献，但种业发展基础仍不牢固，保障种源自主可控比过去任何时候都更加紧迫，粮食安全这根弦比过去任何时候都要绷得更紧。保障国家粮食安全，必须从良种方面挖掘潜力，让种子这颗坚强的“中国芯”，成为中国农业现代化的坚实基础。

要保障种源安全，把我国种业搞上去，就要发挥我国制度优势，科学调配优势资源，推进种业领域国家重大创新平台建设，加强基础性前沿性研究，加强种质资源收集、保护和开发利用，加快生物育种产业化步伐。要深化农业科技体制改革，强化企业创新主体地位，健全品种审定和知识产权保护制度，以创新链建设为抓手推动我国种业高质量发展。
