Creation of New Crop and Forage Germplasms and Varieties

The Eco-agriculture Research Center of Northwest Institute of Plateau Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, is the only institute engaging in spring wheat breeding in Chinese Academy of sciences. The center take high-quality, high-yielding and multi-resistances as breeding objectives, and conventional hybridization as main means, focus on genetic improvement of spring wheat germplasm and new varieties in China's north-west spring wheat area. At the same time, the Center also gradually expanded the scope of the study, and carry out other economic crops and pastures breeding works.
