Syngenta Partners with Anhui Academy on Drought, Nitrogen Research
February 13, 2009| |
Syngenta has entered into an eight-year research collaboration with Anhui Rice Research Institute (ARRI) of Anhui Academy of Agricultural Sciences in China. The collaboration will focus on drought tolerance and nitrogen utilization optimization in key crops such as sorghum and soybean. ARRI researchers will use rice as a model to study novel gene functions.
Syngenta said that the agreement is part of the company’s efforts to work closely with Chinese Academics. Last year, Syngenta entered into a collaboration with the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology in Beijing on the development of novel agronomic traits for crops such as corn, wheat and sugarcane.
