About the University: During the past decade, the Center has assembled a world-class interdisciplinary team of researchers from several institutions. The institute has successfully pursued a research approach that integrates state-of-the-art modern technologies with the traditional wisdom of breeders. It is also a significant example to demonstrate cross-institution deep collaboration in Hong Kong. Using an approach that integrates state-of-the-art modern technologies with the traditional wisdom of breeders, the AoE center is conducting pioneering research on crop improvement (yield, quality, and
stress tolerance) and the establishment of technological platforms (plant transformation, bioreactors, and bioactivities). The center’s members have taken part in a number of important international and national initiatives, such as the ProVitaMin
Rice project supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the China National Transgenic Initiatives.

Research and Statistics: University has accomplished several important tasks, including the invention of the high lysine rich that has become an integral part of the ProVitaMin
Rice project supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the application of new scientific concepts of
photosynthesis in a national project aiming at further enhancing the yield of China hybrid rice, and the successful completion of a large scale soybean genomic project which has become a cover story in a renowned international scientific journal. Members of this center have published extensively (561 articles) on scientific findings, established important technological platforms, and generated international and national intellectual properties (16 patents). Through these state-of-the-art researches, this center trained high-caliber graduate students and technologists (332 in total) who subsequently serve in important academic and agricultural institutions.
