Institute Overview
Institute of existing research and management staff serving 224 people, including 3 Chinese Academy of Sciences, the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young winner of 5, 20 PhD and postdoctoral returned. 26 existing doctoral tutors, 40 master supervisors. Since 1979 the Institute began to enroll postgraduates in 1986 began to recruit doctoral students. Currently enrolled in doctoral and master more than 260 people. Existing botany, medicinal chemistry, microbiology, biochemistry and molecular biology degree point and botany, medicinal chemistry doctorate. 1991, approved by the State Ministry of Personnel post-doctoral research stations.
Kunming Institute of Botany, 1999, first entered the national knowledge innovation bases and became the Chinese Academy of Sciences "Southwest biological resources and biodiversity protection and development of research base," one of the pilot units, to successfully enter the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2006 three bases of innovation . Since 1999, since access to knowledge innovation, has undertaken more than 250 research projects, access to provincial level or above Achievement Award more than 30, the compilation of monographs of 60 academic books, published more than 1,500 articles, more than 60 patents, registered a new drug, 5 new pesticide registration, relying on the transfer of research technology and results for the year 2005 the output value for the local economy of about 1.059 billion yuan, profits of about 102 million (only Yunnan Province).
The editor of the book "Plants of Yunnan" (founded 1979) is the botanical scientific papers published in our major academic journals, is also one of the core journals of Natural Sciences, issued to the British, American, Japan, Germany, Act more than 30 countries and regions, an excellent journal in 2000 by the Chinese Academy of Sciences award.
Strategic objectives and positioning
The layout and direction of academic
According to the Institute of accumulation, distribution and innovative academic goals, the biogeography of plant chemistry, plant germplasm and genomics as the three key areas of innovation. The geography and plant molecular biology and evolution of plant secondary metabolites and their biological significance as the focus of basic research, the natural active substances, drugs and wild flowers of innovation resources and breeding of new varieties as to achieve knowledge transfer and industrial development The two key directions. Mainly carried out in plant biogeography and molecular evolution of plants as the main development direction of evolutionary biology; to plant secondary metabolites and their biological significance as the main direction of development of plant chemistry and chemical biology; the model provides a means of plant genome and information of wild plant genetic resources research in the main direction of the Plant Genomics; and ex situ conservation of plant conservation biology as the main direction to carry out original research. In biogeography, plant chemistry and drug research, and compare the evolution of plant functional genomics and conservation biology research, to form a new pattern of research system and research has become international in plant diversity, plant resources and biotechnology industries have a significant impact on the field of research for the biotechnology industry in China, environmental protection and sustainable economic and social development of a number of original results, for the country and Southeast Asia, the Himalayan region make a significant contribution to biodiversity conservation.
Important research results in recent 5 years
2001-2005 sci published 614 papers included; authorized 51 patents for inventions; by the National Natural Science Award 1, Ministry of Natural Science Prize 5; drug up a new pesticide registration 5.
edited by the Professor Wu Zhengyi, after four generations of the country's hard work, the book is Volume 80, 126, 301, Section 3408 are recorded in vascular plants, 31,142 kinds of "Flora of China" in 2005, completed. This is by far the world's largest flora, plant in China made clear marks the family property, and make of plant conservation and sustainable use of resources with the most important basic data.
anti-AIDS drug (compound) sh has been officially registered with the Ministry of Health of Thailand.
against cardiovascular disease drug, "Erigeron phenol injection" into Phase II clinical studies.
Anti-Alzheimer's a class of drugs, "Fen Keluo ketones" are allowed to enter clinical studies.
