Abstract:

IT application is the mainstream trend and inevitable choice of breeding. In order to promote the information construction of crop breeding, under the big data, the IT application in crop breeding was discussed from germplasm resource management, data collection, genealogy analysis, test design, trial process management, genetic analysis and physiological analysis and variety industrialization promotion, and the implementation steps and key points were proposed. Taking Xinxiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences of Henan Province as an example, the important steps were mapped out, such as software application, scientific research management, talent training, hardware update and information sharing. The main problems of IT application in breeding are as following: not widely accepted by breeders, technology needs to be improved, and obstacles in data sharing. The prospect of IT application in breeding is also discussed.

Key words: Big Data, IT Application, Breeding
