摘要

In August 1992, the State S&T Commission (SSTC) of China announced that China would launch a Rice Genome Program, a counterpart to the US Program of Human Genome, in a bid to decipher the Genetic code of rice at the molecular level and then Apply the obtained results to the cultivation of im- Proved strains of the crop. Based on the actual national strength of current China, the initiation of the Chinese program was in Response to both the upsurge of farming production In the years to come and the international main- Stream of genome research since the 1990s.
