種子是農業的“芯片”。春天是播種的季節。湖南省農業科學院的湖南省作物種質資源庫每天都對鮮為人知的作物種子進行保存、檢查和繁育。該資源庫是湖南省首個農作物種質資源保護利用的綜合公共服務平臺。

該資源庫總建筑面積近700平方米，其中低溫控制面積350平方米。共有5個存儲庫，包括長期庫、中期庫和短期庫，以及親本庫和可調庫。它還具有六大功能區：戰略資源保護、基礎資源保護、資源展示與交流、資源信息管理和資源預處理。

repository????????????????????n. 貯藏室，倉庫；（電腦）數據庫；喻為知識寶庫的人（或物）

種質資源庫是目前農作物種質資源有效、安全的保存方法。保存過程包括種子的接納登記、查重核對、清理遴選、活力測試、干燥脫水、水分測定和種子儲存前的包裝處理及出庫后的種子分發、發芽監測、繁殖更新等10多個流程。

vigor?????????????????? n. [生物]活力，精力 ????????????

dehydration ????????????????????????n.失水；〔生理〕；去水作用；缺水 ??

germination? ???????????????????? n.萌芽 ?? ?

資源庫的長期庫里，種質資源正在低溫環境下“冬眠”。一排排4米高的架子緊密排列，架子上每一層都密密麻麻存放著一個個圓形的金黃色小盒子。盒子里面裝著一粒粒看上去不起眼的種子，卻記錄著各類農作物千百年的遺傳秘密。作為國家最重要的戰略資源儲備之一，這些種質資源可在庫里保存50年以上，隨時能被喚醒。

hibernate???????????????????????? v.冬眠；蟄伏

shelf???????????????????????? n. 擱板，架子

inconspicuous????????????????????????? adj.不引人注目的；不起眼的

現在是春耕季節，湖南水稻研究所科研示范基地的技術人員正忙著進行小水稻品種的育苗試驗。資源庫負責人段永紅介紹說：“這些水稻種子是我父親段傳嘉那一代資源工作者于上世紀七十年代收集、九十年代保存入庫的，現在要拿出來核對性狀，準備更新繁殖，以保持種子的活力。”

plough???????????????????????? n.犁；北斗星????????v.犁（田）；耕（地）；翻（土）

renewal????????????????? ???? n.更新；復興；續訂；恢復

The?germplasm?resource?bank?not?only?provides?basic?materials?for?researchers?to?create?new?varieties?(such?as?new?hybrid?rice?varieties),?but?also?provides?convenience?for?the?purification?and?rejuvenation?of?dominant?local?varieties,?with?significant?social?and?economic?benefits.?For?example,?the?fragrance?of?Jiangyong?Fragrant?Rice,?for?various?reasons,?diminishes?when?farmers?plant?a?range?of?varieties?at?the?same?time.?The?Jiangyong?Fragrant?Rice?resources?preserved?in?the?germplasm?resource?bank?have?recovered?the?fragrance?by?purifying?and?rejuvenating?the?preserved?seeds.

該種質資源庫不僅為研究人員創造新品種（如雜交水稻新品種）提供了基礎材料，而且為優勢地方品種的提純和復壯提供了便利，具有顯著的社會效益和經濟效益。例如，當農民同時種植一系列品種時，由于各種原因，江永香米的香味會減弱。種質資源庫中保存的江永香米資源通過對保存的種子進行凈化和復壯，恢復了香型。

hybrid????????????????????????? n.雜種????????????adj.雜種的；混合的；混合語的

rejuvenation????????????????????????? n.更新；復蘇

At?present,?the?resource?bank?has?collected?and?preserved?more?than?30,000?germplasm?resources?from?59?countries?and?regions?and?32?provinces?(municipalities?and?autonomous?regions).?Nearly?30,000?copies?of?germplasm?resources?have?completed?the?complementary?exchange?of?advantages?between?Hunan?and?the?national?germplasm?resources?platform.

目前，資源庫已收集和保存來自59個國家和地區、32個省（市、自治區）的種質資源3萬余份。近3萬份種質資源完成了湖南與國家種質資源平臺的優勢互補交流。

municipality? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? n.直轄市
