State Key Laboratory of Plant Cell and Chromosome Engineering (Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences)
In 1989, the State Key Laboratory of Plant Cell and Chromosome Engineering was founded with the support of the World Bank loan.At the beginning of the establishment of the laboratory, there were only five research groups, which had been committed to the research of wheat cell and chromosome engineering.
In October 1995, the laboratory passed the national acceptance and was officially opened to the public at home and abroad. It is one of the national key laboratories established earlier in China.
In 1971, the laboratory obtained the first regenerated plant of wheat pollen haploid in the world, and deeply studied the expression rule of pollen gamete genotype in regenerated plants, chromosome recombination and variation mechanism in haploid plants and other theoretical issues.
In 2001, 2006, 2011 and 2016, the national key laboratories achieved good results.[2][4]
