Breeding software, we may not be unfamiliar, but with a lot of breeding workers contact, feel the need to talk about this topic, for one thing, we still want to know more about the breeding software, and secondly, the breeding software itself can bring the breeder really a lot. Breeding software is statistical software? A breeding software is different from statistical software Some users talk about breeding software, it will be equated with statistical software, which is not true. Statistical software, such as SAS, SPSS, etc., is to provide statistical analysis of a class of software, such as SPSS, the full name of the English Statistical Product and Service Solutions (Statistical Product and Service Solutions), which is not a separate service for breeding. Of course, breeding software needs to provide biostatistical support to serve the breeding of experimental design and data analysis. Breeding software, the main functions of 1, the breeding data management functions of many breeders do not feel this, in recent years, the situation has improved, and gradually began to realize that the management of breeding data is an important thing, or at least it is necessary. We have mentioned the concept of "Breeding data management is the most important" in order to draw attention to this issue. Breeding data management is a complex task. The long breeding years, multiple material at multiple points over many years, personnel changes, and material changes all make breeding data management a very challenging task. Without breeding data management, there is no breeding data accumulation, and scientific breeding data management tools and means are the fundamental guarantee of breeding data security and reusability. Breeding work needs to eliminate materials, but if even breeding data are eliminated, where is your breeding accumulation and breeding foundation? Good breeding data management should be faithfully retained breeding first-hand information, original information. 2, on the breeding data utilization function EXCEL on the utilization of breeding data is not convenient, multiple file mode, not automatically establish the link between the material. But there are still so many people in the use of EXCEL, I think the operation of the habit of dependence may be an important reason, many years of data are stored into EXCEL format, the transfer of large amounts of data security concerns should also be a reason. However, if we don't make changes, we can't realize the convenient utilization of breeding data, which is more important than the other, it's very clear. Data management is the foundation, and data utilization is the support. 3, the breeding knowledge of the bearing application function breeding software can be solid bearing breeding ideas, breeding routes, breeding standards, intangible into tangible, and change the bad grasp for data standardization. For example: field data collection, plant height measurement, some people write 1.8 (m), some people write 220 (cm), in the case of multi-person work, prone to such "errors". Standard human grasp, people will make mistakes. Breeding software can be set up to collect data terminal control standards, such as the provisions of the plant height of the collection of uniform outline for centimeters. This is a "platform", a breeding technology platform that integrates unique breeding ideas, breeding methods, and testing requirements. Training, teaching by example, through breeding software, breeding platform, retained, passed on, this is the wealth. One day, we can have our own breeding database.4. Transmission and utilization of new breeding technologies and methods We know that breeding depends on science, genetics, quantitative genetics, biostatistics and bioinformatics. There are many disciplines related to breeding, all of which can provide help for breeding work. But many of the latest advances in the frontiers of science need the support of computers in order to be realized, the theory or method into a real application has a long way to go, the computer - programming ---- model ---- data, breeding software through the upgrading of breeding software can be timely new breeding data analysis methods such as the realization of the software function, to provide users with applications. Breeding software to support breeding is by no means a simple software, software systems behind professional statisticians, mathematicians, genetics professionals in support of the user's breeding work. For example, although molecular markers are far away from the first-line breeding and conventional breeding, molecular markers can be used to analyze the kinship relationship between self-intercrosses, so that an accurate kinship coefficient matrix can be constructed, which will provide strong support for BLUP in predicting hybrid combinations in corn breeding. Some units choose breeding software self-development, I would like to give a piece of advice, do not simply equate the breeding software to a MIS system, that will go to a dead end. Three information technology to support breeding this is a very grand statement, but I want to talk about some real applications. Breeders will hope that the use of breeding software can reduce the intensity of breeding work, not as tired as before, this is completely achievable, at least a lot better. Information technology: bar code scanning technology in the breeding work using bar code scanning technology, handwritten cards into bar code printers to print bar codes, the benefits are many. Benefits are: 1, confidentiality is enhanced. This is not much consideration of domestic breeding, commercial breeding if you do not consider the confidentiality of the design, then you do not do it before it is too late. 2, the error rate is reduced. Barcode identification, to avoid the handwritten card error or fuzzy problem. 3, the breeding process can be adjusted to a more scientific. Handwritten cards this link can be eliminated, the later data collection, direct scanning bar code, eliminating the need to find the human link. To give another example, many users discussed with me, can we find ways to make plant height measurement easy, so that the measurement of plant height is more simple. For this matter we deliberately do research, there are 2 conclusions for reference a is a lot of electronic equipment can be used to measure plant height, for example, handheld laser ranging equipment, and rangefinders with sensors, should not be used, the reason is that the handheld laser ranging equipment is easy to use, but you need to set up reflective panels, rangefinders with sensors and other equipment need to be supported by power supply, which is not suitable for plant height measurement in the field. b a certain international seed giant also uses straightedge for plant height measurement. So, field plant height measurement cannot be improved by tools. To provide a viable solution, one of our users invented such a method: print a number of barcode labels in advance, such as corn, 180,185,190,195,200,205,210, etc., the barcode sticker on the caliper, the position is probably the same as the handgrip at the level of the field to measure the height of the plant, the first sweep of the line number, and then measure the height of the plant with the caliper, visually assess the height of the estimated value, such as: plant height of 200, the barcode. Sweep the barcode of 200. The speed is very fast, a person measuring plant height, the efficiency is very high. Throwing bricks to attract jade, similar approach, certainly a lot. Information technology: mobile collection equipment mobile collection equipment is a microcomputer, an electronic record book, field collection data recorded directly in the mobile collection equipment, eliminating the field first recorded in the record book, back to the indoor second entry to organize the link. The error rate is naturally reduced. <proinsight-br>
