墨西哥农业、畜牧业、农村发展、渔业和粮食秘书处的一项富有远见的投资使“发现种子”倡议能够汇集一个技术平台，促进在育种中有效利用遗传资源，以应对气候变化的挑战和不断变化的消费者需求，确保普遍粮食安全。该平台包括1）表征玉米和小麦种质库加入的高密度基因型数据和广泛的表型数据，2）能够对这些和相关种质库数据进行生物信息学分析的软件工具，以及3）将来自外来种质的优先性状的新多样性纳入育种者偏好的精英遗传背景的玉米和小麦品系。每个平台组件都是与合作伙伴共同开发的，为项目带来了独特的专业知识和资源。通过本文所述的多管齐下的能力发展和积极主动的知识产权战略，追求持续影响和公平利用平台及其所描述的玉米和小麦遗传资源。在介绍了SeeD倡议及其部分产品之后，我们最后分享了2016年11月在新德里举行的第一届国际农业生物多样性大会（IAC）期间参加“利用生物多样性促进粮食安全和可持续发展”特别会议的著名科学家和合作伙伴的评论和见解。
A visionary investment by Mexico's Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries and Food (SAGARPA) has enabled the Seeds of Discovery (SeeD) initiative to assemble a platform of technologies to facilitate the effective use of genetic resources in breeding to address challenges of climate change and evolving consumer demands to ensuring universal food security. The platform consists of 1) high-density genotypic data and extensive phenotypic data characterizing maize and wheat germplasm bank accessions, 2) software tools to enable bioinformatics analyses of these and relevant germplasm bank data, and 3) maize and wheat lines incorporating novel diversity for priority traits from exotic germplasm into breeder-preferred, elite genetic backgrounds. Each of these platform components was co-developed with partners bringing unique expertise and resources to the project. Sustained impact, and equitable access to the platform and the maize and wheat genetic resources it describes, are pursued via multi-pronged capacity development and proactive intellectual property strategies described herein. After describing the SeeD initiative and some of its products, we conclude by sharing comments and insights from eminent scientists and partners who attended a special session on ‘Harnessing Biodiversity for Food Security and Sustainable Development’ during the 1st International Agrobiodiversity Congress (IAC), in New Delhi, November 2016.
