Demand:
Crop germplasm resource is the material basis of breeding and related research. The core of the germplasm is the rich diversity of genes. By employing the principles and tools of plant genomics to this study, we hope to discover the diversity of genes with important agronomic traits from those germplasms, mining their function and value, which is one of the key links to promote agriculture development.
Mission:
To uncover the diversity, distribution, evolution, function and value of genes conferring to nutrition use efficiency, disease resistance, high yield and other agronomic traits.
The major content and final goal:
£¨1£© To study the phenotype diversity of the concentrated core collections of rice, wheat and soybean respectively, develop the applied sub-core collection of the three crops, which will solve the long-existing problem of narrow genetic basis of parents by providing parents for traditional breeding.
£¨2£© To study the diversity of genes conferring to nutrition use efficiency, disease resistance, high yield and other related important traits by map-based gene discovery, discover 500 novel genes or QTL, which will provide materials, genes and markers for marker assisted selection.
£¨3£© To specify the number of alleles, distribution, evolution and function of 500 functional genes £¨100 genes and 400 gene markers£© in the concentrated core collection and clone more than 20 important genes with nutritional efficiency, disease resistance and high yield, which will provide transgenic breeding with gene resources.
Subprogram:
Subprogram 1: Applied core collection and gene diversity of rice germplasm

Subprogram 3: Applied core collection and gene diversity of soybean germplasm
Subprogram 4: Genes discovery of rice
Subprogram 5:. Genes discovery of wheat
