"The hero does not ask the source, the laboratory breaks the boundaries of various scientific research units." In the Seed Laboratory of Yazhou Bay Seeds in Hainan Province, the "Unveiling List" project sets up the key technical difficulties of the "card neck" of the seed industry. In the team, there is no limit on funding. The "milestone" assessment is adopted in stages, attracting heroes from all walks of life to unveil the list, and launch a total attack to 76 major research projects.

The first big move after the establishment of the Yazhou Bay Seed Laboratory in Hainan Province is to launch the "Unveil List" and publicly release the list of technical demand in the country, which suddenly attracted more than 40 scientific research units across the country to apply for the unveiling list.

Building 1, Building 1, Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City, Sanya City, Hainan Province, is known as the birthplace of the source of the seed industry science and technology innovation. Here are the new R & D institutions established by Hainan Province to serve the construction of the "South Fan Silicon Valley" and the development of the breeding industry, Yazhou Bay Seed Laboratory, Hainan Province.

On November 29 last year, the eyes of countless scientific research units, scientific research teams, and scientific researchers focused. On the same day, the launch and signing ceremony and project symposium of the "Unveil List" project of the "Unveil List" project in the 2021 of the Hainan Province of Hainan Province was successfully held. In the nine research directions, a total of 76 major research projects first unveiled the "China List", which opened the joint technology of the Yazhou Bay Seed Laboratory and the Expert Team of Unveil the List around the seed industry chain technology and key core technologies.

The rice molecular design technology and application innovation team of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences has gained a lot -Xu Jianlong, the chief expert of the team, as the "multi -character modular coordination improvement technology system creation and high -quality high -quality anti -inverse japonica rice breed cultivation" project "Bangbang"; The team also cooperated with other units to participate in the "Drought resistance, salt resistance of salt resistance and new quality creation system based on the MCC-NAM group of rice species" and "precision editing and new quality creation of crop genome".

At the same time, Researcher Wang Wensheng, who participated in the latter two projects of rice molecular design technology and application innovation team, recalled the situation when he learned the team's "China List", and was still very excited. "We are involved in the first of the Yazhou Bay Seed Laboratory Laboratory The team is the first time to apply for and participate in scientific research projects with this new model. Inspiration. "

The first big move after the establishment of the Yazhou Bay Seed Laboratory

In China, 18 degrees north latitude, not only the golden vacation belt, but also the place of golden research. The unique light and thermal resources make Hainan the "breeding paradise" for agricultural researchers. From September to May of the following year, scientific researchers from all over the country fly from all directions to Hainan to use the typical tropical climate resources, germplasm resources, and high -quality ecological conditions of the Greater Sanya region to conduct basic research, variety selection, selection of varieties, selection, and selection of crops, selection, and selection of varieties. Seed appraisal and species and other activities are called "South Fan". According to the latest statistics from the Hainan Province Nanfan Administration, more than 800 "breeding, complex, and push" related seed enterprises and institutions each year and over 8,000 scientific and technological personnel are engaged in southern breeding production in Hainan, with more than 3 million breeding of breeding Materials and varieties enter Nanfan District.

However, in the past, because of the lack of experimental equipment and facilities, "scientific research migratory birds" were peasants while engaging in scientific research, carrying breeding materials north and south, scientific research institutions gathered without "melting", scientific researchers did not "close", scientific research resources were difficult to "" " In response to the above issues, the State Hui and Hainan Province have further promoted the construction of "South Silicon Valley" in recent years, giving full play to the advantages of resources, factors, location, policies, and systems, providing public platforms for collaborative research in breeding industry clusters, and promoting Nanfan scientific research from decentralized research from decentralized research The transformation of scientific research to cluster coordination. It is in this context that the Seed Laboratory of Yazhou Bay Seeds in Hainan Province came into being.

In May last year, the Seed Laboratory of Yazhou Bay Seeds in Hainan Province was officially established. The laboratory is Li Jiayang, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wan Jianmin, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, as the director of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the director of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the director of the Academic Council, and brought together a group of academician -level leading scientists. Relying on the research and breeding bases of Nanfan, focus on major scientific and technical issues in seed innovation, and build a platform for the entire industry chain scientific and technological innovation platform in the seed industry.

The first big move after the laboratory was to launch the "unveiling the list" and publicly released the list of technical demand for the country, and suddenly attracted more than 40 scientific research units across the country to apply for the unveiling list.

"It is necessary to promote technical research in an innovative model." Xia Mian, the person in charge of the cooperation and exchange department of the Seed Laboratory of the Yazhou Bay Seed Laboratory in Hainan Province, evaluated the laboratory's "unveil the list".

In June of the same year, the "Notice of the Solidation of the" Unveil List "Project Pool" of the "Yazhou Bay Seed Laboratory of Hainan Province" was released through open channels. "Breaking the qualification restrictions of the applicant in the process of funding projects in traditional science and technology projects", "Building the open innovation model of blended and high -chance, equal opportunities, ability priority, results -oriented, and achievement of achievements." Essence

The list of technical demand released by the nation's publicly released this time, with major crops, important economic plants, livestock poultry, and marine life as research objects, focusing on major scientific and technical issues in seed innovation, aiming at the major needs of national food security and ecological safety, The frontiers of international technology, creating a platform for precision molecular design of seeds, breaking through the key core technology of the "card neck", creating a new breakthrough variety, and providing solid support for the construction of a strong country and ensuring the safety of national food — analyzing the requirements of the list and its own itself. After researching the foundation and advantages, the team decided to participate in the "unveiling list". In the following period of time, the discussion will become the normal state of participating in the project personnel in the rice molecular design technology and application innovation team -project applications need to be continuously polished and studied. The "hilltop" of the feedback list project attack is not high enough, whether the results can meet the requirements, etc. Combining with the feedback of the laboratory, we will further modify and improve the project application letter. "Wang Wensheng recalled.

In Wang Wensheng's view, the words "unveiling the list" emphasize two aspects, one is "unveiling the list", and the other is "the handsome". The important point is to evaluate the ability and level of the person in charge of the project. Teacher Xu Jianlong sat in the town, and confidence will be more enough. "

As the chief expert of the rice molecular design technology and application innovation team of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Xu Jianlong won the first prize of the 2020 National Science and Technology Progress Award for the "Creation Protection and Research and Utilization of Rice Genetic Resources" projects that have participated in the second person. Established for nearly ten years of rice molecular design technology and application innovation team, under the leadership of Xu Jianlong, it has strode towards the domestic first -class and international impact goals.

"This is the first time that our team has participated in the" unveiling of the list "project. It is an affirmation of our research results in our research field. For the team, it is an opportunity and a exercise." Xu Jianlong said.

Break the scientific research border

On November 29 last year, at the launch and signing ceremony of the "Unveiling List" project, the unveiling team signed the "military order" on the spot to have the "milestone" assessment requirements, funding methods, reward and punishment measures and results of the "milestone" assessment requirements, the funding method of the milestone ". When the agreement is made, it is clear that the laboratory will manage and accept the process of entering the list, and implement the management mechanism of dynamic adjustment of funds and tasks to complete the quality and time node.

"Objectives, assessment, use, and influence" are the basic principles of the "unveiled list" project. Researchers such as Xu Jianlong, Wang Wensheng and other researchers felt quite deeply.

"The laboratory implements the method of cooperating with member units such as the" Unveiling List "project to undertake the task to attract outstanding domestic scientific researchers to the laboratory and work in the form of dual -employment." Chen Fan, executive director of the Yazhou Bay Seed Laboratory in Hainan Province According to the introduction, the project management adopts the goal -oriented and classified evaluation method, and the responsible person of the team project signed a "military order" to ensure the implementation of the annual assessment indicators. This innovation system allows the laboratory to gather many top scientific research talents in a short time. "After the first batch of project collection orders were released, the domestic and foreign scientific research teams submitted 109 unveiling applications, of which 30%of the applicants were top laboratory team members. ","

"The hero does not ask the source, the laboratory breaks the boundaries of various scientific research units." In Xia Mian's view, the "unveiled list" project sets up the key technical problem of the "card neck" of the seed industry. There is no limit, and the "milestone" assessment is adopted in stages. This attracts all heroes to unveil the list and sign a military order to launch a total attack to 76 major research projects. And each is the phenomenon of "small scattered weakness" under the war. In 2021, the total funding of the project exceeded 70 million yuan.

Opening the project list will find that 76 projects include 18 funding projects and 48 cultivation projects. Wang Wensheng explained that the laboratory considers "excellent selection excellence". In addition to funding the project, many cultivation projects have been set up, which is equivalent to giving certain funds in the first year to see what results and progress can be achieved in scientific research this year. Decided whether to continue funding or not to fund.

"At the beginning of the team, we are engaged in related work in Hainan, relying on Yazhou Bay Seed Laboratory and in -depth participation in the" Unveiling List "project, which will help the team to better carry out scientific research work." Wang Wensheng said.

At present, all three projects have achieved staged results. "With the previous research foundation and confidence brought about by recognition, we will also actively participate in the laboratory's new projects this year, or similar projects in Hainan Province." Xu Jianlong said.
