Ye Zhibiao's Work and Achievements

Mainly engaged in vegetable genetic breeding and vegetable biotechnology research, the storage-resistant transgenic tomato created by antisense gene technology won the first approval of 1997 "commercial production" for the safety evaluation of agricultural biological transgene in China, and 1999 won the second prize for scientific and technological progress of the Ministry of Agriculture. Fan Hua 1, a new hybrid tomato variety with storage resistance, became the first agricultural transgenic variety approved in China, and won the first prize of scientific and technological progress in Hubei Province in 2002.

He has presided over more than 30 scientific research projects such as National Natural Science Foundation, National 863 Program, National Development and Reform Commission and "948". Achievements have been made in vegetable nutrition quality genomics, molecular biology, cloning and identification of plant stress genes, and genome research of solanaceae crops. Progress has been made in the construction of tomato library, the cloning of specific promoters and the elimination of marker gene vector system, which provides material and technical support for vegetable molecular breeding. It has successively won 4 provincial science and technology progress awards, 2 authorized invention patents, 5 patent applications and 3 variety approvals. He has published more than 80 papers and monographs, including 15 papers in SCI.

He has published more than 30 papers 1 in academic journals at home and abroad, including more than 40 SCI papers, 4 monographs, appraisal results1by the Ministry of Agriculture, 6 authorized varieties and 4 invention patents. He is the main person in charge of the vegetable discipline in our school. He has made in-depth research and outstanding achievements in vegetable biotechnology and genetic breeding, and created the first agricultural genetically modified product approved by the state for commercial production in China, which is known as "China Fruit and Vegetable Storage Tolerance". The key gene (Wo) for the formation of tomato multicellular epidermis was isolated and identified by map-based cloning. Wo promotes the expression of cell cycle-related gene -SLCYCB 2 through protein interaction, thus promoting the transformation of cells from G2 phase to M phase, and finally promoting the formation of epidermal hair. The discovery of this mechanism is of great value for revealing the diversity of plant cell fate regulation. At the same time, because homozygous Wo gene will lead to the abortion of tomato embryos, the isolation of this gene is also of great significance to reveal the mechanism of tomato embryo development. The research paper was published in the top international academic magazine Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and experts in horticulture think it is the highest level of basic research on horticultural crops in China so far. Participated in the international Solanaceae plant genome project-tomato genome sequencing and tomato evolution mechanism research papers have been submitted to the journal Nature at the request. He presided over 50 national 863 plan projects, national 973 projects, national natural science foundation projects, provincial (ministerial) scientific research projects and international cooperation projects.
