英国“20∶20小麦”研究项目调查

摘要

On June 13, 2012, Rothamsted Research and Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council ( BBSRC ) jointly launched the“20∶20 Wheat”program, aiming to help increase potential wheat yields in the UK to 20 t/hm2 in the next 20 years. The program aims to maximize potential wheat yields by modifying crops to improve its photosynthesis efifciency. Rothamsted Research, as the largest agricultural research center of the UK, has uniquely advantageous test conditions and world-leading technologies, and pays attention to international cooperation and opens itself up to innovation. The paper conducts a review of this program’s background, gives an introduction to its research content and makes an analysis of its research advantages for domestic reference.%2012 年 6 月 13 日，英国洛桑研究所和英国生物技术与生物科学研究理事会联合发起了雄心勃勃的“20：20 小麦”研究项目，计划在未来 20 年内，即到 2032 年，使英国的潜在粮食产量从目前的大约 8 t/hm2增至 20 t/hm2。实施“20：20 小麦”项目可使小麦潜在产量最大化；可确定小麦根系吸水和养分的情况，以提高小麦光合作用的效率；可对作物进行改良。洛桑研究所是英国最大的农业研究中心，有得天独厚的试验条件和世界领先的研究技术，并注重国际合作和开放创新。期望通过对“20：20 小麦”研究项目的介绍，为我国农业科研提供参考和借鉴。
