Abstract: In the suggestions on speeding up the Development of the Modern Crop Seed Industry, the State Council called for the establishment of a modern crop seed industry with an integrated cultivar development, seed production and seed extension system for the enhancement of Chinese seed industry. The growth of international and domestic seed industry has promoted the formation and development of the seed industry science and technology. The seed industry science and technology is a group of sciences and technologies related to the integrated cultivar development, seed production and seed extension system as well as their neighboring sciences and technologies, such as genetics, plant physiology, information techniques, seed laws and rules, etc. The seed industry science and technology in China is on the way at its beginning and development. The present paper summarized a group of key theoretical and technological issues in plant breeding anxiously to be explored for current seed industry based on a review on the advances in conventional plant breeding and on the hot topics in molecular biological breeding as well as in seed production and extension sciences and technologies. Accordingly, strategies and suggestions were presented for the development of seed science and technology in China. They are the establishment of the whole system of disciplinary sciences and technologies related to seed industry, establishment of the two groups of scientists and technologists, one from seed company side, another from public side, with them co-operated each other, and the seven research priorities to solve the urgent problems in Chinese seed industry, including technology system for large scale breeding programs, genetic dissection and enhancement of germplasm collection, molecular assistance of conventional breeding procedures, enhanced transgenic breeding and safety technology, improvement of regional testing system and cultivar certification, establishment of a standardization system of seed production, hybridization of the seed industry in China.

Key words: crop seed industry, integrating cultivar development, seed increase and seed extension, standardization of seed production, molecular-assisted breeding technology
