Key Tasks of Science and Technology Innovation for Bast and Leaf Fiber Crops in the New Period of China
Bast and leaf fiber crops are important characteristic cash crops and provide industrial ma-terials for high-quality textile,food,forage,medicine and biomaterials.It is of great significance to en-hancing science and technology innovation of bast and leaf fiber crops for promoting the modernization of agriculture and rural areas.For the undertaken functions of bast and leaf fiber crops industry in the new development stage,the present study summarized the major progresses in the science and technology in-novation of the crops,analyzed the new challenges faced by the development of bast and leaf fiber crops industry,and proposed the key tasks of industry technological innovation in combination with the research and development trend of emerging technologies.We suggested that modern biological breeding methods should be applied in germplasm and breeding researches;new planting spaces should be expanded for the crops in marginal land affected by salt,drought,waterlogging,contamination and others;the productivity should be improved by green transformation of the whole industrial chain;and advanced biomaterials should be innovated for increasing the added value of products and empowering food security and effective supply of important agricultural products.
