People structure

　　The center currently consists of two CAAS innovation groups, including six research labs. One chief scientist of the 973 Program, five recipients of the National Science Fund , two "CAAS Outstanding Young Talent", and three "Shenzhen High-level Talent". There are 52 people in the Ecological Genomics Research Center. Among them, there are 6 researchers, 20 postdoctoral fellows, 11 graduate students and 3 foreign experts.

　　Research Areas

　　1）Agricultural insect genomics: Molecular ecological mechanism of plant-pest-microorganism interactions. Olfactory recognition mechanism of agricultural pests. Regulation mechanism of insect metamorphosis and development. Develop green prevention and control technology to promote the green development of agriculture;

　　2）Agricultural metagenomics: Metabolic mechanism of microorganisms in crop soil and intestinal tract of livestock and poultry. Design bacterial fertilizer and develop new environmental monitoring technology to ensure food safety;

　　3）Invasive biogenomics: Outbreak mechanism and environmental adaptability mechanism of invasive organisms. Explore rapid identification and biological control technology to maintain ecological security.

　　Objectives

　　Using genomics and metagenomics as the main techniques, to solve the problems of pests and diseases, non-point source pollution, invasive organisms and other farmland and natural ecology that restrict agricultural development. Promote the sustainable development of human agricultural production and social economy, and provide technical support for national modern agriculture. The centre is gradually carrying out the "E-shield Project", including "1000 Important Invasive Species Genome Project", "TOP1000 Insect Genome Project", and other major projects.
