Research system of local germplasm resources
Collection, Domestication, Breeding integrated germplasm resources system

Collection: over the past 20 years, the M-Grass team has traveled most of the arid and semi-arid areas in China. The indigenous plants germplasm resources were collected through grasslands, mountains and deserts

Domestication: Based on the collection and domestication of wild indigenous plants, build a domestic characteristic indigenous plants germplasm resources bank and processing base, build M-Grass seed industry science and technology system, domesticate indigenous plants in different regions, domesticate each plant for at least 4 years, so as to provide high-quality germplasm materials for ecological restoration in various regions.

Domestication: Based on the collection and domestication of wild indigenous plants, build a domestic characteristic indigenous plants germplasm resources bank and processing base, build M-Grass seed industry science and technology system, domesticate indigenous plants in different regions, domesticate each plant for at least 4 years, so as to provide high-quality germplasm materials for ecological restoration in various regions.

Breeding: Seed production bases will be established in Beijing, Shaanxi, Tibet, Hohhot and other places, where planting, management and collection will be carried out in strict accordance with the standards, so as to guarantee the supply quantity and quality of germplasm products from the source. The germplasm resources system of "Collection, Domestication and Breeding" was gradually established through continuous practice.

To construct the indigenous plants germplasm resources system of grassland in China

Every 0.5 square kilometers has a complete information of water, soil, gas, animals, plants and microorganisms 

More than 12000 indigenous plants germplasm resources were stored in the resource bank

100000  botanical specimens

Nearly 1.4 million soil samples

Can provide species for ecological restoration in different regions

(1)Reserve: to store and study the indigenous plants of different regions and characteristics to protect the diversity of species.

(2)Scientific research: understand the native species, and provide scientific data and feasible scheme for ecological construction, production and life.

(3)Application: it is used in the introduction, domestication, trial planting, expansion and breeding of indigenous plants, and the production of ecological seeds, indigenous plants seedlings, grass seeds, etc., and is also widely used in the fields of ecological restoration, landscaping, grass and animal husbandry.

(4)Science popularization: plant DNA and species protection are the core elements of ecological science popularization education.
