Brief introduction of Lv Yuping

 

Dr. Lv Yuping currently serves as Vice President of Yuan Longping Agricultural High-tech Co., LTD and General Manager of Longping Biotechnology (Hainan) Co., LTD。He has been the chief scientist and senior director of Ceres Company in the United States, and the operations director of Syngenta Biotechnology (China) Co., LTD. In 2010, he returned to China as the general manager of Dabinong Group's Biotechnology Center。Dr. Lv Yaping has published more than 10 papers in the highly influential international magazines "Plant Cell", "PNAS" and "JBC", and obtained a total of 27 international and domestic patents。

 

Dr. Lv Yuping has been appointed as visiting professor of China Agricultural University, Distinguished Professor of Lanzhou University, Visiting professor of the National Gene Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, adjunct professor of Northwest A&F University, member of the Council of the Chinese Society of Agricultural Biotechnology, Vice chairman of the Chinese Branch of Agricultural Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and member of the general expert Group of National Major transgenic projects。

 

On October 22, in the laboratory of Longping Biotechnology (Hainan) Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as "Longping Biology"), located in Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City, Longping Biological team members conducted research and development on the life cycle, resistance and yield of corn。Longping Biological was registered and established in Sanya in May 2019, and is one of the first "Double hundred" talent teams in Hainan Province. Its main research industry type is tropical efficient agriculture。

 

As the first batch of biotechnology high-tech enterprises settled in Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City, Longping Biology has developed a number of excellent resistance products, and has submitted more than 10 national invention patents, landing in Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City Park。At the same time, the team will achieve the goal of planting four generations of corn in Hainan in one year。

 

Promote the upgrading of the industry from traditional breeding to molecular biological breeding

 

"Sanya Municipal Committee, municipal government and various departments of Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City have given very great support in the company's registration site, laboratory and equipment required for research and development, as well as logistical support, so that we can smoothly settle in Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City and carry out China's independent controllable technological innovation and development of biochips.。Dr. Lv Yuping, leader of the Longping Biological team, introduced that the main research industry type of the Longping biological team is tropical efficient agriculture。Longping Bio is jointly funded by Longping High-tech and Longping Bio team, and is composed of experts from the "Key Talent Program" of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, outstanding young scientists in provinces and cities, and international talents from the core technology innovation and product development of the world's top 500 enterprises。Relying on the "Silicon Valley of Southern Breeding Industry" plan, the team focuses on the development of key "chip" technologies for biological breeding (new insect-resistant genes, large-scale corn/soybean transformation platforms, corn gene editing technology, male sterility and new innovations in drought resistance and water saving).。At present, we have built technical platforms such as molecular biology, genetic transformation, trait analysis and four generations of backcross a year, and achieved the goal of continuous biological breeding technology innovation in the tropical four seasons in Sanya, laid out the research and development of the whole season and the whole industry chain, and realized the core technology and products of the seed industry.。Longping biotechnology innovation will greatly improve the research and development strength of Longping High-tech, promote the upgrading of the industry from traditional breeding to molecular biological breeding, and further enhance the voice of Longping High-tech and Chinese enterprises in the overseas seed industry market。

 

"Longping 007" greatly prolongs the life cycle of corn

 

According to the presentation，Demand for pest and herbicide resistant products for domestic and Brazilian markets，Longping Biological team developed insect-resistant herbicide-resistant corn - Longping 007，Resistance was assessed at carrier level，The developed products have good resistance to corn borer, Oriental slime worm, small ground tiger, grass armyworm and beet moth，Prediction based on insect resistance management model，Longpin 007 can greatly extend the life cycle of corn，Greatly increased corn production，Bring huge benefits to farmers。This technology is currently in the international leading level, in line with the urgent needs of South America and domestic corn production, can reduce the dependence on foreign seed enterprises genetically modified products, so that Chinese seed enterprises have a greater say in the international market, with great application value and economic benefits。Longping 007 and other core products are planned to complete all safety assessment regulatory tests and obtain GMO safety certificates before 2023, and timely respond to the urgent domestic problem of Armyworm hazards。

 

In terms of exploring the acceleration of biological breeding research and development speed, Longping biological team has developed a set of standardized multi-season planting management program, and established a greenhouse and net room that meet the growth conditions of Sanya's tropical climate all year round。According to the presentation，For a long time，China's southern breeding breed only adds one generation of planting in Hainan every winter，If crop breeding is carried out regularly in tropical areas where it is warm all year round, the generation time is further shortened with embryo rescue technology，Four generations of corn can be grown in a year，It can greatly improve the efficiency of crop breeding and biotechnology product development，Fill the gap of successful seed breeding cases of four generations in one year in China。

 

Change the southward propagation of winter migratory birds in Hainan

 

It is reported that on October 10, Longping Biological officially settled in Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City and the opening ceremony of the new research and development laboratory was held。On the same day, Longping Biology received a message from Academician Yuan Longping: "Ceaseless struggle, more than innovation" inscription。

 

The relevant person in charge of the Sanya municipal government said that the introduction of Longping biological will bring major changes to Hainan southern breeding, change the situation of Hainan in the past only as a winter migratory bird, and help build the national "southern breeding Silicon Valley".。It is hoped that after Longping Biological takes root in Sanya, it will strive to create an international first-class biological "chip" R & D platform and build China's independent and controllable core competitiveness in agricultural biotechnology industry。
