农业生物技术性状和玉米种子提供商Origin Agritech Ltd.发布了生长平台的最新进展，该平台专注于优质玉米种子产品和高价值生物技术性状的开发和商业化。
“We are happy to share the exciting news on key milestone achievements for our seed product pipeline and biotechnology trait development programs,” said Dr. Gengchen Han, Origin Executive Chairman.
After 2 years of production trials as required by the government regulations in China, comprehensive data packages of the leading biotechnology traits, insect resistance and herbicide tolerance, have been submitted to China’s regulatory agency for Biosafety Certificate (Phase 5) issuance. These traits have also been incorporated into Origin’s leading inbred parental lines and commercial partner’s elite lines in preparation for variety approval and commercial product launch.
Origin’s corn seed product portfolio has had another year of outstanding performance. Analysis of field trial data from more than 100 test locations indicated that 7 of the 7 hybrid varieties in the Green Pass production trials meet or exceed the criteria of new product registration. Data packages of these varieties will be submitted to the Ministry Of Agriculture (MOA) in December for national registration approval.
In late 2017, Origin successfully fulfilled the Excellence Through Stewardship (ETS) Program audit requirements and became a formal member of this global organization of the AG biotechnology industry. This achievement demonstrates Origin’s commitment to best practices and quality management systems and highlights its pledge to continuous improvement.
“I am pleased to report to stakeholders that our corn breeding pipeline and seed product portfolio are getting stronger year after year in both quantity and quality. Our biotech trait development program remains one of the industry leaders in China and we are ready to commercialize the technology once the government approvals are issued,” said Dr. Jihong Liang, Origin Chief Technology Officer.
玉米种子产品育种、开发和商业化：
进度更新
- 2017年初，奥瑞金获得5项适用于中国玉米主产区的玉米种子产品登记国家批件。绿色通行证计划的夏季实地试验产生了比预期更好的结果。 2018年初，7个新种子产品登记报送农业部审批。2018年夏季，共有24个新产品进入绿色通行证试验。
- Origin 在中国西南部开展了一项绿色通行证计划，测试适合该地区多样化生态条件的玉米产品。这一努力将使 Origin 能够扩大其玉米产品组合，以满足约 1300 万英亩的市场领域农民的需求。
- Origin entered into collaboration agreements with 5 leading corn seed companies to evaluate Origin’s new seed products in their trailing systems. The test results are being summarized and will provide support in discussions of commercial license agreements.
生物技术特性开发和生物安全认证
进度更新
- 2017年，Origin按照政府法规的要求，完成了其第一代PEST/WEED性状的第二年监管生产试验。除了 2016 年进行的试验全面评估了分子特征、田间功效、环境安全和食品安全，所有这些都符合关键的生物安全监管标准外，2017 年的试验还进一步检查了这些性状对非目标生物扩展谱的影响。结果证实，生物技术特性对测试的非目标生物没有负面影响。
- 档案总结了 2016 年和 2017 年 Origin 内部以及与第三方研究实验室合作的联合实验室和现场测试研究，于 11 月提交，以申请第 5 阶段生物安全证书批准。
- In 2017, Origin’s first generation WEED and PEST/WEED traits are incorporated into the elite corn inbred lines of Origin and into the products of Origin’s seed commercial partners preparing for future regulatory approval and commercialization. The use of winter nursery in Hainan Island combined with cutting-edge molecular marker technology enabled Origin to expedite the trait conversion timeline.
- 2017 年初，Origin 与 Arcadia 合作，在美国农业部指定的加利福尼亚州温室中生产出携带中国开发的抗虫和抗除草剂技术的玉米种子，并通过了检疫测试。 2017 年夏天在爱荷华州成功进行了合作田间试验，证实了这些性状的有效性，并生产出更多种子用于所需的监管试验。
“We are extremely pleased with the latest progress in our seed product development and biotech trait programs. These advancements have provided strong supports to our goal to become the preferred technology partner in China,” said Dr. Han. “Investments in technology and innovation is the key to success in this rapidly changing and consolidating industry. We are confident that we are in the right track to win.”
