By integrating medicinal plant genomic data and field phenotypic data, the team adopted molecular breeding and bioinformatic analysis to address industrial bottlenecks including germplasm degradation and unstable quality of plateau medicinal herbs.
Core Findings
Constructed a germplasm gene database for authentic medicinal herbs unique to Yunnan and screened elite breeding materials
Developed molecular breeding markers and bred new medicinal herb varieties with high medicinal efficacy and strong stress resistance
Established matched standardized cultivation technologies; awarded the Special Class Award of the 2021 Yunnan Provincial Science and Technology Progress Prize
