Molecular Analysis and Genetic Improvement Center

The Molecular Analysis and Genetic Improvement Center (MAGIC) was formed in 2012 by merging eight molecular biology research groups (Plant Gene Engineering Center, Energy Plant Lab, Plant Nutrition Physiology Lab, Plant Pathology Lab, Plant Phytohormone Regulation Lab, Quality Improvement Lab and Cytoderm and Plant Resistance Lab,The Regulation of Plant Adaptivity Lab). The main research contents:Site-specific gene stacking;Resistance research of the energy plants;Molecular mechanism of rice nitrogen use efficiency and Rice breeding;Molecular resistance of rice Disease;Mechanism of Gibberellin Regulating Plant Growth and Adversity Stress,The function of key genes in soybean seed development;Epigenetic mechanisms of plant in response to environmental stresses and development;Plant cell wall and resistance research.In the years to come,MAGIC aims to expand the research team that can complement existing research focuses and to get better results,and strive to serve scientific research.
