It was built with the strong support of the municipal and district governments. At present, there are two major projects: "World Walnut Museum" and "Walnut Germplasm Resources Park", which can be used as a window to understand the relationship between walnuts and human beings and a platform for walnut scientific research; It can also be used as a base for popular science teaching, sightseeing and picnic camping.
2065438+On May 2, 2004, KLOC-0, the "World Walnut Museum" jointly built by Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Yunnan Moore Farm Biotechnology Development Co., Ltd. was completed and officially opened in "Walnut Manor, Moore Farm, Chuxiong, Yunnan". The museum takes the "Walnut Germplasm Resource Bank" as the core, relying on the scientific and technological exchanges of domestic and foreign scientific research institutions, especially the British Millennium Seed Bank. By means of seeds, in vitro materials and living preservation, the museum has preserved 553 kinds of walnut germplasm resources in the world in the "Southwest Wild Animal Germplasm Resource Bank of China" and Yunnan.
At the same time, based on Yunnan's rich walnut germplasm resources, it contains specific germplasm genes such as early fruiting, drought tolerance, cold resistance, insect resistance and late frost avoidance, and is based in Yunnan and facing the world. Yunnan Academy of Forestry and Yunnan Moore Farm Biotechnology Development Co., Ltd. jointly established the "Walnut Germplasm Resources Park", which has excellent varieties, excellent clones, excellent single plants and special breeding materials of walnuts at home and abroad. At present, 76 walnut varieties have been preserved in the world 1 12, and all walnut varieties will be covered in the later period, and the world's largest walnut variety resources will continue to be built.
