The group was headed by He Haohua, vice president of Jiangxi Agricultural University. Through listening to reports from breeding units, field investigation, pollen microscopy of male sterile lines, bagging self-pollination and cross-fertilization in seed production fields, the group unanimously recognized that the agronomic traits of "Steel S" male sterile lines bred in Tianya seed industry were in good order. Sterility was stable, and the whole ticket passed the field fertility identification.
In order to further enhance the commercial breeding level of the company and build a molecular breeding platform, Tianya Seed Industry has invested heavily in the construction of Tianya Seed Industry Science Academy in the company's Mashan Research Base.
