On the 24 of
this month,on a Achievement certification meeting
of Whole genome sequence decoding of peanut cultivating species held by FujianUniversity
Of Agriculture and Forestry, the research
has decoded the Genomes of peanut cultivation,and its achievement are equal to the International
leading level.
According to Professor Zhuang Weijian, the head of the
project group,said that,the team has studied for more
than a decade,working with a few peanut scientists
such as Wuhan Future Group Biotechnology Co., Ltd, Shandong, Guangxi, Henan,
Guangdong and China Academy of Agricultural Sciences and Taiwan's Chenggong
University to tackle this world problem, the data and results of the research
were published to the world through the official website of the Fujian
Agriculture And Forestry University(http://peanutgr.fafu.edu.cn). This will make the whole
genome selection breeding and precision breeding possible, which will greatly
improve the efficiency of Peanut Genetic Improvement and shorten the breeding
cycle, and help to cultivate more high yield, high quality, disease resistantand
safe new varieties.
Expert group believed that,the completion of whole genome sequencing of peanut
cultivation species having a significance in the foundation and application of
peanut. It is helpful to clarify the origin and evolution of peanut, and to
analyze the molecular mechanism of key characters such as yield, quality, resistance
and so on.It also provides a strong scientific and technological support for
the promotion of new breakthroughs in peanut breeding.
