Kunshan Keteng Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (referred to as Keteng Company) was founded by Dr. Lu Maolong, who returned from Monsanto Company in the United States. Mainly engaged in biotechnology crop breeding, especially transgenic crop breeding and high-tech enterprises using modern technology for crop breeding.
The core members of the technical team of Keteng Company come from many famous agricultural companies in the United States and famous domestic research institutions, all of whom have doctoral degrees or senior titles, and have world-class experience in crop transgenic and crop breeding industrialization. They have successively hosted more than 20 national-level projects on crop genetic modification and industrialization of crop breeding in the United States and Canada, and won the first prize of China National Science and Technology Progress Award, the first prize of the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries, etc. 17 provincial and ministerial awards.
Keteng Company is headquartered in Kunshan, with two branches and two experimental branches: Nantong Branch, Jilin Branch, Anhui Branch and Sanya Branch of Hainan Province. Keteng Company has 6,000 square meters of experimental site and 5,000 mu of farmland, which is used for corn, cotton and other crop breeding and seed breeding. Nantong Branch has an existing factory building 10000 square meters, including more than 2000 square meters of laboratory, more than 8000 square meters of crop seed identification and storage, and rented experimental land for corn, cotton and other crops 186 mu to select and prepare high-yield Shuang Ye ear corn hybrids suitable for planting in Huanghuaihai area. Engaged in maize and cotton breeding in Anhui, especially in breeding and preparing high-yield Shuang Ye ear maize hybrids suitable for planting in Huang-Huai-Hai region. Established Jilin Branch with Jilin Huayu Company, engaged in the research and development of new crops such as corn, breeding and preparing super-high-yield Shuang Ye ear corn hybrids suitable for planting in Northeast China. Sanya, Hainan, has a breeding farm in the south, which is mainly responsible for the production of excellent varieties and speeding up the breeding progress.
Not long ago, Keteng Company acquired the cotton company directly under Jiangsu Agriculture Committee. The acquisition projects include 7 varieties of cotton company, 1 variety to be tested, 5 varieties undergoing regional test or safety production test, more than 200 high-quality breeding materials, 4 trademarks, 450,000 kilograms of seeds and all instruments and equipment.
Keteng Company has established a world-class crop transgenic platform and has world-class experience in crop transgenic and crop breeding industrialization. The company has made a number of major scientific and technological breakthroughs in crop genetic modification, cloned a variety of independent intellectual property rights genes with important application value, and is the second company in the world to clone anti-dicamba DMO genes. It is of great practical significance to engage in the industrialization of insect-resistant, saline-alkali-resistant, drought-resistant, herbicide-resistant transgenic and transgenic crop breeding projects for corn, rice, cotton, soybean, wheat and other crops, so as to increase grain yield, reduce pesticide use, reduce environmental pollution, improve grain quality and increase agricultural productivity.
Keteng Company is also engaged in the breeding of corn, rice, cotton, soybean, wheat and other crops. For example, the invention of corn with two leaves and two ears is another major scientific and technological innovation. Compared with ordinary corn, Keteng Company has the advantages of double leaves and double ears, and has great potential for high yield, high quality and multi-purpose. The maize yield of newly cultivated maize hybrids is 20-70% higher than that of the existing control varieties.
