China currently faces the food security problem that demand for food continues to increase while increasing rate of grain yield slows down obviously. Exploring innovation of new technology and methods in crop breeding is a key point to achieve a major breakthrough in breeding of new crop breeding,promote substantial and steady increase of grain yield and ensure china's food security. To achieve these goals,a new thought and research model could be provided by exploring a integrated multidisciplinary transagricultural research mode combined with the traditional theories and methods on agricultural research. 'Transagriculture'is extension and development of modern agriculture. It means a series of research models and solutions in the context of global climate change, resource scarcity and food security,which integrate advantages in various disciplines of politics,economy,science& technology and agriculture,and carry out interdisciplinary,cross-industrial joint research and integrated innovation to solve major problems in agriculture. Rapid development of rice breeding theory,genomics, proteomics,technology of image recognition and processing,automation technology and information technology has provided necessary conditions for such transagricultural research mode. Based on the thought of transagriculture and combined with our joint research project on genotyping instrument for seeds & cloud computing terminal for SSR fingerprint of rice,we analyzed and discussed the research background,basis and technical conditions,feasibility and design scheme of intelligent rice breeding robot,and further prospected its application.
