China Tropical Crop Germplasm Resources Information Network

The National Tropical Plant Germplasm Repository, supported by the Institute of Tropical Crop Variety Resources of the Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences (CATAS) and jointly constructed by 11 units including the Institute of Fruit Tree Research of the Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences and Hainan University, aims to provide information and physical support for scientific and technological innovation in tropical crop seed industry, increase the income of farmers in hot regions, alleviate poverty, the "One Belt One Road" initiative and the National Tropical Agricultural Science Centre. The National Centre for Tropical Agricultural Sciences (NCTAS) provides information and physical support for tropical crop germplasm resources. The National Tropical Plant Germplasm Repository consists of a national medium-term tropical crop germplasm preservation repository, a medium-term tropical forage preservation repository and 12 national nurseries, covering 24 crops in nine categories, including rubber trees, tropical forage, tropical fruit trees, tropical oilseeds, tropical aromatic beverages, southern medicine, tropical grains, tropical flowers and tropical special vegetables, with more than 26,000 copies of resources, accounting for more than 90% of the total tropical crop germplasm resources in China. The resources account for more than 90% of the total amount of tropical crop germplasm resources in China. It has built an efficient management system and a stable human resources team, a conservation system that combines centralized conservation in germplasm banks and moderate distribution in germplasm nurseries, a technical specification system for the unified description of germplasm resources of major tropical crops, and an integrated system for the conservation and utilization of China's tropical crop germplasm resource information network, ensuring the efficient operation and sustainable development of the national tropical crop germplasm resource bank.

国家热带植物种质资源库，由热带农业科学院热带作物种质资源研究所（CATAS）资助并联合广东省农业科学院果树研究所、海南大学等11家单位共同建设，旨在为热带作物种子产业中的科技创新提供信息和实物支持，增加热带地区农民的收入，缓解贫困，助力“一带一路”倡议及国家热带农业科学中心。国家热带农业科学中心（NCTAS）为热带作物种质资源提供信息和实物支持。国家热带植物种质资源库包括国家中期热带作物种质资源保存库、中期热带牧草种质资源保存库及12个国家苗圃，涵盖9大类24种作物，包括橡胶树、热带牧草、热带果树、热带油料作物、热带香饮料、南药、热带谷物、热带花卉及热带特种蔬菜，拥有超过26,000份资源，占中国热带作物种质资源总量的90%以上。这些资源占中国热带作物种质资源总量的90%以上。已建立高效的管理系统和稳定的人力资源团队，融合种质库的集中保存和种质苗圃的适度分布的保存体系，制定主要热带作物种质资源统一描述的技术规范体系，以及中国热带作物种质资源信息网络保护和利用的集成系统，确保国家热带作物种质资源库的高效运作和可持续发展。
