Introduction of The Rice Research Institute of Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences (GDRRI)

       The Rice Research Institute of Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences (GDRRI) has a long history and it dates back to the former Rice Research Station of Sun Yat-sen University established in 1930 by Prof. Ding Ying. GDRRI is a non-profit provincial scientific institution and the Guangzhou branch of China National Center for Rice Improvement.

        GDRRI has 221 employees among which 103 are professionals and technicians including 65 senior specialists and 69 PhD bearers. GDRRI has excellent research conditions with a set of platforms such as the National Wild Rice Germplasm Nursery (Guangzhou),  Key Laboratory of Genetics and Breeding of High Quality Rice in Southern China (Co-construction by Ministry and Province), Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of New Technology in Rice Breeding, Guangdong Provincial Rice Genetic Resource Center, and Provincial Rice Sci-Tech Innovation Center of Guangdong. In total, there are offices and labs covering an area of 5500 m², experimental field of 34.64 hectares and greenhouse of ca. 600 m². Furthermore, there are large-scale advanced instruments and equipment such as groups of growth chambers（Phytotron）,GC-MS, differential scanning calorimeter and Fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument.

      GDRRI is mainly engaged in rice sci-tech innovation with a focus on rice breeding to provide strong sci-tech support for rice production in Guangdong and southern China, as well as to continuously make new contribution for sustainable food security. Besides breeding, GDRRI also carries out studies on rice biotechnology, rice genetic resource, paddy rice cultivation, rice physiology and ecology. In addition, GDRRI has invested as a shareholder on Guangdong Golden Rice Seed Industry Co., Ltd and Guangdong Huamao High-Tech Seed Co.,     Ltd.

      Up to 2020, GDRRI has won 285 scientific awards, including 17 national awards and 142 awards at the provincial and ministerial level. It was authorized 83 patents (of which 62 are patents of invention) and 303 new plant variety rights. GDRRI has released 1558 varieties, among which 41 have been each planted with an accumulated area of over 660,000 hectares. At present, rice varieties and technologies of  GDRRI accounts for 75% of the ri ce production acreage in Guangdong, with over 90% of S&T achievements commercialized. Therefore, GDRRI has made significant contributions to both the progress of rice science and technology and the development of rice production and assurance of food security.

      Due to itstremendous achievements, GDRRI has been rewarded by the authorities for many times. It was named as “Excellent R&D institution of Guangdong” by Guangdong ProvincialGovernment in 1995 and received the “National May 1st Labor Merit Certificate” in 2002. It ranked the first position and was one of the “Excellent Non-Profit Research Institutions” in the first evaluation on non-profit institutions in Guangdong province. It ranked the 4th nationwide and the 2nd provincially in the comprehensive evaluation of research capacity of the agricultural institutions during the 10th Five-Year Plan (2001-2005).
