Wu Kongming meets DG of KNAW
On March 27th, CAAS Vice President Wu Kongming met Hans Chang, Director General Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) and his delegates to exchange views on promoting agricultural science and technology, as well as to discuss China-Netherlands Programme Strategic Scientific Alliances (PSA).
Wu Kongming introduced CAAS briefly and concluded by saying that, “with the large population and limited land, improving agricultural output through science & technology is an effective way to address the food security in China. Netherlands has enormous agriculture technology that can provide many valuable experiences to China”. He finalize by proposing key areas where both sides can intensify, such as genome sequencing, animal disease prevention & control, agricultural resources and environment.
Hans Chang agreed with the proposal given by his counterpart Wu Kongming, and shows his appreciation and inspiration to the remarkable scientific achievements attained by PSA in the Institute of Horticulture, and hope that the both sides will strengthen cooperation on grain and food security. The meeting was concluded by a visit to China-Netherlands Garden Crop Genome Technology Joint Lab.
It should be remembered that PSA is the China’s first long-term strategic plan to cooperate with western developed countries, which is implemented on the basis of the Strategic Scientific Alliances Plan signed by Ministry of Science and Technology of the People Republic of China and Ministry of Education, Culture and Science of Netherlands back in 2001. The PSA aims at building a new structural and mutual beneficial long-term cooperation.
Through a decade of cooperation in the success lane, CAAS has successfully completed the genome sequencing of cabbage, and made a number of important achievements such as deriving the brassica’s ancestral genome karyotype, discovering the role of transposons in sub-genome differentiation, illustrating relevant key genome mechanisms in cabbage blossoming.
Both sided declared that in the near future they will further cooperate in the illustration of the cabbage heading mechanism and turnip stem intumescentia mechanism.
