Establishment of the novel CRISPR/Cas mediated allele replacement systems in crop plants (Prof. Xia Lanqin’s team at Institute of Crop Sciences )
By collaborating with University of California, San Diego, the research team led by Xia Lanqin at Institute of Crop Sciences of CAAS, established a novel CRISPR/Cas mediated allele replacement system in crop plants by using DNA and/or RNA transcripts as repair templates and successfully achieved precise gene replacement of rice ALS gene. The newly established gene replacement system overcomes the ... -
Creation of apomixis in hybrid rice (Prof. Wang Kejian’s team at China National Rice Research Institute)
The research team led by Wang Kejian at China National Rice Research Institute introduced apomixis into hybrid rice by genome editing, and successfully obtained the clonal hybrid seeds for the first time. The work constitutes a quantum leap in the field of apomixis and was published as a cover story in Nature Biotechnology. Fixation of rice heterozygosity by multiplex gene editing in hybrid r... -
Overcome self-incompatibility and inbreeding depression of diploid potato (Prof. Huang Sanwen’s team at Shenzhen Agricultural Genomics Research Institute)
The team led by Huang Sanwen at Shenzhen Agricultural Genomics Research Institute of CAAS, collaborating with the researchers in Yunnan Normal University, overcame the self-incompatibility in diploid potato. They also deciphered the genetic basis of inbreeding depression, and proposed a method to overcome inbreeding depression. These studies open up a new way for potato breeding, and related resul... -
Creation and application of novel alternatives to antibiotics (ATAs) for livestock and poultry (Prof. Wang Jianhua’s team at Feed Research Institute)
The bottlenecks of creation and application of key products for ATAs were broken through by Prof. Wang Jianhua’s group at Feed Research Institute of CAAS. They revealed the mechanism of antimicrobial peptides with high internalization to host cell as “close compatibility from intracellular-innate, early-defense from hypersensitive-warning” and low resistance to bacteria as “strong-penetration and ... -
Analyze the structure and assembly mechanism of African swine fever virus (Prof. Bu Zhigao’s team at Harbin Veterinary Research Institute of CAAS, and Prof. Rao Zihe and Wang Xiangxi’s teams at Institute of Biophysics of CAS)
Bu Zhigao’s team at Harbin Veterinary Research Institute of CAAS, and Rao Zihe and Wang Xiangxi’s team at Institute of Biophysics of CAS together first comprehensively illuminated fine three-dimensional structure of African swine fever virus particles. African swine fever virus is the biggest virus whose structure has been resolved at near atomic resolution world widely. This study helps to explor... -
The new variety of Ashdan yak has been approved by the state (Prof. Yan Ping’s team at Lanzhou Institute of Husbandry and Pharmaceutical Sciences of CAAS together with the Datong Yak Farm of Qinghai Province, China)
The new variety of Ashdan yak is bred by Yan Ping’s team at Lanzhou Institute of Husbandry and Pharmaceutical Sciences of CAAS together with the Datong Yak Farm of Qinghai Province, China. This work has been issued the National Certificate of New Breed of Livestock and Poultry of China. It provides the diverse variety for large-scale, intensive and standardized feeding of yaks, and plays an import... -
Monitoring and management of invasive pest fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (Institute of Plant Protection of CAAS)
Institute of Plant Protection of CAAS took the lead in reporting the early warning of the invasion of fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda, and accurately detected the first adult fall armyworm in China. The biological law of the pest was clarified, five kinds of pesticides were proposed in time for emergency control, and four kinds of biological control products with independent intellectual prope... -
The rapeseed variety Zhongyouza 19 with high yield, high oil content, double-low quality, and multi-resistances was widely applied in China (Prof. Wang Hanzhong’s team at Oil Crops Research Institute)
Zhongyouza 19 bred by Wang Hanzhong’s team at Oil Crops Research Institute of CAAS, was the first nationally approved winter-type rapeseed variety with oil content up to 50percent as well as high yield, double-low quality, multi-resistances, and adaptable for mechanization in China. The oil production was 1,463.5 kg/hm2 that increased by 12.7percent than control in national regional trials in Chin... -
Integration of maize high-yield and mechanical grain harvesting technology (Crop Cultivation and Physiology Innovation Team at Institute of Crop Sciences)
Crop Cultivation and Physiology Innovation Team at Institute of Crop Sciences of CAAS using the innovative technology of quantitative matching between drying performance of maize varieties and the regional ecological conditions, realized the low-crushing grain harvest. By combining the high-yield cultivation technology under dense planting, the maize yield and production benefit were synergisticly... -
The key technology of crop and livestock integrated system (CLIS) with high nutrients use efficiency and low pollutants (Prof. Zhang Qingwen’s team at Institute of Environment and Sustainable Development in Agriculture of CAAS, in cooperation with the Outputs for Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences of CAS and Binzhou Zhongyu Food Co., Ltd.)
Prof. Zhang Qingwen’s team at Institute of Environment and Sustainable Development in Agriculture of CAAS, in cooperation with the Outputs for Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences of CAS and Binzhou Zhongyu Food Co., Ltd., has made a breakthrough into agricultural pollutant control technology of CLIS with eco-industrial chain of high-efficiency cropping, ecological livestock farming and ...
