Collecting, Preservation, Evaluation and Utilization of Crop Germplasm Resources in China

Collecting, Preservation, Evaluation and Utilization of Crop Germplasm Resources in China (the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award in 2003): A leading crop germplasm preservation system integrating a long-term genebank, a duplicate genebank and medium-term genebanks was established. At the same time, a comprehensive technology system to ensure the genetic integrity of preserved germplasm resources was developed to facilitate germplasm evaluation, genetic diversity assessment, gene discovery and germplasm enhancement.
