Comprehensive analysis of genetic diversity of Asian cultivated rice (Prof. Li Zhikang’s team at the Institute of Crop Sciences)
A research group led by Prof. Li Zhikang at the Institute of Crop Sciences of CAAS has completed the study on genome variation of 3,010 Asian cultivated rice samples, making it the largest plant genome sequencing project in the world so far. Li's group also built the world's first near-complete, high-quality Asian cultivated rice pan-genome and deeply analyzed the genetic diversity of Asia cultiva... -
Discover new mechanisms of Magnaporthe oryzae pathogenesis and rice resistance to blast disease (Dr. Ning Yuese and Dr. Liu Wende’s teams at the Institute of Plant Protection )
A group led by Dr. Ning Yuese and Dr. Liu Wende at the Institute of Plant Protection of CAAS revealed a direct correlation between plant nutrition and disease resistance, and analyzed the regulation mechanism of monocotyledon's receptor kinase SD-1 against rice blast fungus. These studies are of great significance for finding new disease control methods. The Magnaporthe oryzae effector AvrPi... -
A multiomics study revealed the history of tomato breeding (Prof. Huang Sanwen’s team at the Shenzhen Agricultural Genomics Institute)
A team led by Prof. Huang Sanwen at the Shenzhen Agricultural Genomics Institute of CAAS applied a multi-omics approach to integrate the data of genome, transcriptome and metabolome from hundreds of tomato genotypes, and revealed changes of fruit metabolome in tomato breeding history. The result is a breakthrough in the study of plant metabolic biology. A multi-omics view of tomato breeding -
Poultry vaccines to block human infection with the H7N9 virus in China (Prof. Chen Hualan’s team at the Harbin Veterinary Research Institute of CAAS)
Prof. Chen Hualan and her team at the Harbin Veterinary Research Institute of CAAS developed a H5/H7 bivalent avian influenza inactivated vaccine. The vaccine can effectively stop the spread of H7N9 avian influenza viruses in poultry and block the human infection with H7N9 virus in China. The successful prevention and control of H7N9 infection has become a model case of controlling zoonosis from a... -
Development and industrialization of ethanamizuril, a new anticoccidials for animals (Prof. Xue Feiqun's team at the Shanghai Veterinary Research Institute)
Prof. Xue Feiqun's research group at the Shanghai Veterinary Research Institute of CAAS completed a series of studies on ethanamizuril, including the drug effect screening, preparation technology, pharmacological and pharmacokinetic research, toxicity and safety evaluation, clinical research and environmental assessment. The team has solved several technical difficulties related to the production ... -
Application of standardized and industrialized control technology for the Chinese chive gnat (Prof. Zhang Youjun’s team at the Institute of Vegetables and Flowers )
A research team led by Prof. Zhang Youjun at the Institute of Vegetables and Flowers of CAAS improved a gnat control technology featuring regional cultivation characteristics and formulated related industrial standard in China. In 2018, the technology was applied at a total area of nearly 320,000 hectares in China. -
Efficient transplant techniques for carpet-like rape seedlings (Prof. Wu Chongyou’s team at the Nanjing Research Institute for Agricultural Mechanization)
A research team led by Prof. Wu Chongyou at the Nanjing Research Institute for Agricultural Mechanization, which is affiliated to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of China, solved a key problem of transplanting rape seedlings with high efficiency and high density in paddy soil and rice straw returning fields. The problem was the last barrier of mechanized production of rape. The new t... -
Rice seedling raising technology in overlaid tray (Prof. Zhu Defeng and Prof. Chen Huizhe’s teams at the China National Rice Research Institute )
A research team led by Prof. Zhu Defeng and Prof. Chen Huizhe at the China National Rice Research Institute innovated a rice seedling raising mode in overlaid tray suitable for the rice transplanting machine. The team also developed related equipment for sowing and intelligent temperature and humidity control in greenhouses. Using technology leads to a neat and robust seedling emergence and increa... -
A production mode to combine the high-quality cotton variety CCRI 641 and "wide-early-fine" planting pattern (Prof. Zhang Xiling’s team at the Institute of Cotton Research )
A group led by Prof. Zhang Xiling at the Institute of Cotton Research of CAAS integrated the new high-quality cotton strain CCRI 641 and the new planting pattern of "wide-early-fine". The production mode was applied in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region in 2018 and increased the yield by more than 20 percent. Significant breakthroughs were made in "good methods going together with ...
