On the morning of July 30th, despite the disruptions in flights and high-speed trains caused by the impact of Typhoon "Dusu Rui," the registration hall was abuzz with busy figures. This torrential rain did not dampen the enthusiasm of breeders from all over the country, rather it added a heightened sense of longing and determination to explore and embrace modern molecular breeding.

At 8:30 a.m. on July 31st, the 4th Advanced Molecular Breeding Technology Symposium commenced in a solemn and vibrant atmosphere.

The opening ceremony featured a keynote speech by Dr. Yunbi Xu from CIMMYT-China. Dr. Xu highlighted that this symposium aims to integrate outstanding talents, technologies, and resources from both domestic and international sectors to promote the deep integration of molecular breeding technology and industry, ultimately achieving more efficient and precise breeding goals. He emphasized the importance of industry collaboration and expressed his hopes of establishing closer cooperation among participants to enhance the integrity and sustainable development of the biological seed industry chain.

A total of 27 renowned experts were invited todeliver presentations at the symposium, including 10 animal experts who covered comprehensive reports and specialized topics related to dairy cattle, beef cattle, pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, large yellow croakers, and shrimp. Additionally, 10 plant experts provided comprehensive reports and specialized topics on maize, rice, wheat, and soybeans. The remaining 7 experts included professionals in technologies and platforms, covering areas such as common techniques, genotyping, breeding platforms, information systems, and decision support. The expert presentations covered a wide range of theoretical, technical, methodological, and practical aspects of molecular breeding in major crops, livestock, poultry, and aquatic organisms.

During the symposium, some experts and delegates visited MolBreeding Biotech to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the company's business and innovation achievements.

During the visit, experts and delegates gained insights into MolBreeding's corporate history, R&D laboratories, production areas, and innovation center. They were exposed to the latest molecular breeding projects and products, engaging in profound discussions and interactions with our R&D team.
