Abstract: In order to clarify the current situation of the protection of new varieties of plants in Fujian Province, in-depth understanding the problems existing in the protection of new varieties in Fujian Province and put forward the corresponding countermeasures, by sorting out the application and authorization information of new variety rights of plants in Fujian Province issued by the big data platform of China's seed industry and the Science and Technology Development Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the current situation of the protection of new varieties of plants in Fujian Province was analyzed from the aspects of the number of applied varieties, the number of authorized varieties, the duration of review, different plant species and different subjects. The results showed that by the end of 2022, there were 1 737 applications for new varieties of plants in Fujian Province, and 602 were authorized, with an authorization rate of 34.7%. The average review duration of authorized varieties was 1 280.5 days, about 3.51 years. The amount of application of field crops in Fujian Province accounted for 39.9%, and the amount of application of horticultural crops such as vegetables and flowers increased steadily. Although the enterprises have established the dominant position of breeding innovation, the rate of authorization was low. At present, there were still some problems in the protection of new varieties of agricultural plants in Fujian Province, such as the poor protection awareness, relatively unbalanced plant species, low rate of authorization, and long review cycle. Therefore, it was suggested to perfect the laws and regulations, strengthen the propaganda and training, improve the activeness of breeding and strengthen the construction of testing system, so as to promote the benign development of seed industry.
