Completion of the Southwest China Germplasm Bank of Wild Species Rated as 2007 Top Ten Pieces of News in Science and Technology in China

With total investment valuing RMB 148 million yuan, the Southwest China Germplasm Bank of Wild Species is a state-key science facilitation project. According to the blueprint, the germplasm bank consists of seed bank, DNA bank, plant germplasm in-vitro, microorganism bank, animal germplasm, information center and research laboratory, etc. Centering on conservation of germplasm of wild species in Yunnan and in adjacent areas (including Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau), the main species gathered are plant germplasm resources, containing some animal and microorganism resources. The construction of the bank would provide technological supports and basis of decision-making for conservation, studies, development and effective utilization of germplasm resources of wild species in China. In five years, 66500 accessions of 6450 species, will be collected and preserved at the germplasm bank, and the number will climb to 190000 accessions of 19000 species in fifteen years. The ultimate goal of the bank is to be a world-class, integrative germplasm bank and scientific facility for conservation of wild species, ensuring the security of China’s strategic biological resources. The germplasm bank will supply materials and information for development of industry and researches of life sciences so as to facilitate the sustainable development of biotechnological industry and social economic development in China and to lay a material foundation for fulfilling the goal of effective biodiversity conservation and strategy of sustainable development. The principal part of the germplasm bank project passed the acceptance inspection in 2007. Relying on support of the Scientific Basic Platform Construction Program, KIB successfully initiated the program of standardized screening of 13708 accessions of 3000 species, which involved with 206 persons of 15 institutions from varied areas of Southwest China, Central China, Northwest China, North China, South China and East China. In addition, 15028 accessions

were gathered with digital expression and number for information sharing exceeded 10000 and 1764 accessions of 710 species can be shared in form of actual specimens, through e-platform and the networking system of the Southwest China Germplasm Bank of Wild Species. In gathering, screening and conservation of the germplasm resources, special attention was attached to rare and endangered plant species, such as Paraisometrum, Nyssa yunnanensis and Taxus. Based on the previous work, the ambitious goal of gathering will be achieved, which would make important contributions to implementing international conventions, effective conservation of biodiversity and to sustainable development. Completion of the South- Completion of the South-west China Germplasm Bank of Wild Species was voted as 2007 Top Ten Pieces of News in Science and Technol-ogy in China voted by an evaluation group consisting of 574 academicians from CAS and CAE.

Breakthrough Made on Mechanism Study of Systemic Resistance Induction of Plant Caused by New Natural

Pesticide with Antivirus Activities

Plants have evolved multiple mechanisms to selectively suppress pathogens by production of secondary metabolites. Therefore, direct selections for antiviral compounds from plants can be used to identify new agents with potent antiviral activity but not toxic to hosts. In collaboration with CAS Institute of Microbiology, Institute for Viral Disease Control and Prevention, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (China CDC) and Institute of Biotechnology, Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences (YAAS), the research group led by Prof. Hao Xiaojiang, for the first time, found that a class of compounds, seco-pregnane steroid glaucogenin C and its monosugar-glycosides are effective and selective inhibitors to alphavirus-like positive-strand RNA viruses including plant-infecting tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and animal-infecting Sindbis virus (SINV), eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV), and Getah virus (GETV), but not to other RNA or DNA viruses, yet they were not toxic to host cells. In vivo administration of the compounds protected BALB/c mice from lethal SINV infection without adverse effects on mice. Using TMV and SINV

as models, studies on the action mechanism revealed that the compounds predominantly suppress the expression of viral subgenomic RNA(s) without affecting the accumulation of viral genomic RNA. Their work suggested that the viral subgenomic RNA could be a new target for the discovery of antiviral drugs, and that seco-pregnane steroid and its glycosides found in the two kinds of medicinal herbs have the potential for further development as antiviral agents against alphavirus-like positive-strand RNA viruses. This study was published in the journal of PNAS (PNAS, 2007, 104(19): 8083-8088).


New Progress Achieved in Phylogeography Study of Taxus wallichiana Complex

China is one of the distribution centers of Taxus wallichiana plants complex and the State Council included T. wallichiana into the list of state key wild plant species (volume A) in 1999. However, species number of T. wallichiana complex distributed in China remains a problem with major viewpoint divergence in the status of Chinese yew, South China yew and Himalayan yew distributed ranging from mountainous region of Southeast China to Himalayan areas. Since 2004, the research group led by Prof. Li Dezhu, in cooperation with Royal Botanical Garden Edinburgh, has spent over three years collecting a total of 1235 individuals from 50 populations from 14 provinces of China including Yunnan, Sichuan, Shannxi, Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong, Hunan, Hubei, Henan, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian and Taiwan, and North Vietnam for analyses. The study, jointly supported by CAS and the Royal Society of London, distinguished 19 different chloroplast haplotypes of the compex using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) for chloroplast DNA variation. The researchers found a very high level of population differentiation and a strong phylogeographic pattern. Haplotype differentiation was most marked along the boundary between the Sino-Himalayan and Sino-Japanese Forest floristic subkingdoms. The researchers concluded that several localized refugees existed during the last glaciation from which the present-day distribution of Himalayan yew may be derived. This study is published in the journal of Molecular Ecology (2007, 16(22): 4684-4698).

9Annual Report 2007

Important Breakthrough Made in Developing New Potential Anticancer Drugs

In collaboration with State Key Laboratory of Medical Genomics in Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences in CAS, and Rui Jin Hospital, Prof. Sun Handong, academician of CAS, observed significant apoptosis of t (8; 21) chromosome translocation through NF-κB and MAPK pathways, concomitant with caspase-3 activation. AML1-ETO oncoprotein was degraded in parallel to caspase-3 activation. The study was published in the journal of Cell Death and Differentiation (2007, 14(2), 306-317). Through profound studies on the medicinal mechanism of eriocalyxin B (EriB), which was tested on AML-M2b leukemia cells, the researchers concluded that Kasumi-1 and AML-M2b murine leukemia cells were most sensitive to EriB (even at μM level) with significant apoptosis. EriB-mediated apoptosis was associated with NF-κB inactivation by preventing NF-κB nuclear translocation and EriB was effective on

primary t(8;21) leukemia blasts and caused AML1-ETO degradation. The high-degree selectivity and low-concentration medical effect suggested that EriB might be a low-toxicity, high-performance molecular-targeted agent, with great potential to candidate drug for targeting therapy of AML-M2b type leukemia.


New Progress Made in Mechanism Study of Plant Responses to Low Temperature

Low-temperature stress is a major environmental factor effecting the growth, geographic distribution and yields of plants, and damages resulted from cold and freezing stress usually occurred in membrane. Changes in membrane lipid composition play important roles in plant adaptation and survival after freezing. Plants’ response to cold and freezing involves three distinct phases: cold acclimation, freezing, and post-freezing recovery. In collaboration with American scientists, the research group led by Prof. Li Weiqi carried out the study on how the 120 lipid species change during freezing and post-freezing recovery of Arabidopsis thaliana freezing tolerance, and on the effect of two phospholipase D (PLD), PLDα1 and PLDδ during these phases, using lipidomics based on ESI-MS/MS. The results showed that different type of lipids and lipids of different cellular orientation react differently during freezing and post-freezing recovery, and suppression of PLDα1 and PLDδ resulted to different effects on

phospholipid hydrolysis in freezing and post-freezing recovery. Thus the changes of membrane lipids in two ecotypes and four genotypes during three phases of Arabidopsis thaliana freezing tolerance were analyzed and determined in details, laying an important formation for further elucidating the mechanism of plants responses to low temperature. The results were published online on The Journal of Biological Chemistry in Dec. 2007, and the paper was rated as one of the outstanding scientific achievements of China Mainland and Hong Kong by the magazine Nature China.

11Annual Report 2007

Important Advances Made in Study on Plant Biodiversity Origin and Evolution Mechanism in Special Habitats of Tibetan Plateau

Main contents of the project presided by the research group of Prof. Sun Hang contain three aspects, namely, characteristics of Tibetan Plateau, evolution model of representative populations, biodiversity mechanism and evolution speed, species adaptation mechanism under extreme environmental conditions and features of reproductive biology, and chromosome ploidy evolution under extreme environmental conditions of Tibetan Plateau. The results demonstrated that plant diversity of this area involves background of flora of Tethys, and that many plants with shorter evolution history result from rapid uplift process of the plateau. According to cytological studies, flora of this area owns great potential for further evolution, whether in terms of representative populations under extreme conditions, or of general level. And natural hybridization probably functions as one of the drives for evolution. On the other hand, dispersal of Arctic-

Tertiary flora also profoundly influenced the flora of this area. Evidence obtained as well suggested that Bering dispersal route played a critical role in forming the flora of this area through molecular biogeography analyses. Both vicariance and dispersal are important causes for the flora distribution. Under the extreme environmental conditions, plants also developed many special adaptation structures, which have multiple ecological functions, ensuring their survival and evolution under tough habitats. A total of 53 articles have been published for this project, among which 38 are published in SCI-embodied journals including top 15-30% journals of the same field such as Molecular Ecology, American Journal of Botany, Moleculer Phylogenetics and Evolution, Annals of Botany, etc.


'Ninth-Five' Key Program, R&D of New Natural Drugs against Several Serious Diseases, Passed Post-Evaluation

In Sep. 2007, a post-evaluation was carried out on the CAS 'ninth-five' key and special-support program, R&D of New Natural Drugs against Several Serious Diseases, co-chaired by Prof. Hao Xiaojiang from KIB, Prof. Ding Jian from Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, CAS and Prof. Li Boliang from Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry, CAS. The post-evaluation conducted by CAS Program Evaluation and Supervision Center by a group of leading scholars and experts including CAS academicians, Prof. Chen Kaixian and Prof. Sun Handong, and Profs. Ma Hongjian, Kong Lingyi, Du Guanhua, Lin Wenhan, senior chemist Mr. Yang Lahu and Prof. Zhang Guolin, etc., achieved satisfying results. After termiation of the program, important progress has been made on basis of previous research results and a series of achievements been fulfilled: five new drugs obtained drug approval numbers and another five new drugs obtained approval for clinical trials,

one new drug completed clinical trial (phase III) and the application for new drug certificate is being conducted. Three n e w d r u g s o w n i n g independent intellectual property rights (IPR), on wh i ch p rec l i n i ca l researching work have already been finished, obtained approvals for clinical trials successively.

As for biotechnological drugs, two certificates for new drugs, one approval for clinical trials of new drugs and one new drug certificate for clinical laboratory kit have been obtained. To date, industrialization of several researching results has already accomplished enormous economic and social benefits.


Stage Achievements Made in Program of Investigation and Evaluation of Biofuel Resources in Yunnan

As one of the most ancient energy source for human and an important renewable energy resource, biofuel resource is very important, and accelerating the development and utilization of biofuel resource has a great significance. Supported by Yunnan Provincial Development and Reform Commission, a research group consisting of scientists of multiple disciplines including plant taxonomy, plant introduction and cultivation, molecular biology, plant physiology, phytochemistry and ethnobotany, has investigated and gathered basic informative materials concerning biological, ecological and economic characteristics of Jatropha curcas in a short period of time. Through additional field surveys and studies on chemical components of the plant oils, the research group has thoroughly and systematically analyzed and summarized the geographic distribution of Jatropha curcas in whole Yunnan, parts of Sichuan and Guangxi provinces, with information of the resource quantity, ecological and biological features, optimum habitats for, targeted biomass per unit area and chemical property of plant oil, etc. Meanwhile, the research group has carried out complete analyses and evaluation on climatically and geographically optimum regions for plantation of Jatropha curcas, principles for industrial development planning and challenges for Yunnan to

develop the industry of Jatropha curcas were outlined, which can be extremely valuable data and reference for the industrial development planning of Jatropha curcas in Yunnan. The program has already evaluated the acceptance inspection by a group of experts sponsored by Yunnan Provincial Development and Reform Commission.


Breakthroughs Achieved in Breeding New Varieties of Wild Flowers

The research group led by Prof. Zhang Changqin has been engaging in breeding of new varieties of alpine wild flowers, especially of introduction and domestication of rhododendron for many years. After 20 years’ efforts and on basis of the 126 domesticated varieties of Yunnan wild rhododendron and hybridized breeding, the research group has started bud and sprout breeding recently and successfully developed six rhododendron varieties, i.e. Rhododendron. 'Hongyun', R. 'Xuemeiren', R. 'Jinzhizhu', R. 'Ziyan', R. 'Jiaoyan' and R. 'Xilinmen'. All the six varieties passed substantial examination by experts of the same field organized by the New Variety Office of State Forestry Administration. These six new cultivars are innovative, special, constant and stable with scientific names, which accords to the conditions described by International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants and new horticultural cultivars. Technological propagation studies on cutting and sowing of the identified rhododendron cultivars have been already carried out and initial results been achieved. These new cultivars are the first new rhododendron varieties evaluated by

the State Forestry Administration. At the same time, the research group led by Prof. Gong Xun has developed a new cultivar of Michelia figo, M. figo 'Wanchun' which passed the evaluation by experts sponsored by the New Variety Office of State Forestry Administration. Through five-year observations and studies on innovation, specificity, consistency and stability, the research group finished studies on cutting propagation, tissue culture and cultivation technology. With distinguished horticultural characters and strong adaptation ability, the M. figo 'Wanchun' is very suitable for garden greening. It is the first M. figo cultivar and evergreen variety of Magnoliaceae that apply for state-level protection for new plant varieties.


Marked Achievements Made in Innovation and Development of New Natural Drugs

Natural drug has been an indispensable part of world pharmacology. Discovering various physiological activities and drug lead compounds from natural drugs and ethno-pharmacology plays a critical role in R&D of new drug with independent intellectual property right. Development of new natural drugs on basis of elucidating activity components of traditional drugs is the current trend. KIB has already constructed a talents’ team for R&D of new drugs with independent intellectual property rights, which consists of experts mainly from the State Key Laboratory of Phytochemistry and Plant Resources in West China, and from other departments as well. New drugs under clinical trials: clinical trials of anti-HIV/AIDS drug, SH capsule have been completed in Thailand (transferred); clinical trials (phase III) of the new drug against cardio-cerebral vascular diseases, Denzhanxixin injection and clinical trials (phase I) of the new drug against presenile dementia, phenchlobenpyrrone have been completed, respectively. Approvals for clinical trials of cepharanthine hydrochloride and cepharanthine hydrochloride injection have been obtained. New drugs with completion of preclinical studies include anti-HIV/

AIDS drug, Qishile capsule, Emei-glucoside capsule against gynecology hemostasis, hypoglycemic drug, CA-1 and cough-reliving drug, dengtaiye. Drugs under clinical trials include: anti-HIV/AIDS candidate drug, schizandrin and Flazin, anti-leukaemia candidate drug, diterpenoids, anti-depression candidate drug, CXZ-123, lipase inhibitor, vibralactone, antitumor candidate drugs, GC-51, actaea asiatica and sesquiterpene from Inula britannica, etc.


Investigation on Plant Diversity in Hengduan Mountains Area, Sino-Vietnamese Boundary Areas and Indochina Peninsula Successfully Completed

The fourth Sino-American joint investigation on plant diversity in Hengduan Mountains Area co-sponsored by KIB and Harvard University lasted one and a half months and length of the journal exceeded five thousand kilometers. This investigation has finished the basic material-gathering in weakened and key areas for plant diversity in Northwest Sichuan. The plant populations investigated covered seed plants, fern flora, bryophytes and higher fungi and key places surveyed were mainly dry-warm and dry-hot valleys, screes, alpine meadow, and vegetation types of primary forests and secondary forests. The obtaining of basic information of large-quantity plants from weakened and key places in Hengduan Mountains Areas, such as alpine-cold quillwort, Ranunculaceae and Kingdoniaceae, laid an important foundation for biogeography studies on important populations and for exploring the origin and evolution of representative populations of this area. This study will as well provide beneficial theoretic and technological suggestions and references for protection of endangered plants and construction of natural reserves. Supported by the National Geographic Society of USA, KIB investigation team successfully completed the first investigation research on vascular plants in Sino-Vietnamese boundary areas of Yunnan. The investigation team has taken a total of over 6000 field photos and gathered more than 600 specimens, and

collected samples of some epiphytic plants and populations of Caryota urens. Sino-Vietnamese boundary area of Yunnan is one of the most crucial regions linking China and flora of Indochina Peninsula. It’s not only the important part of the center of ancient, special plants in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi of China, but also is the core part of Southeast Yunnan Center, which is one of the two biodiversity centers in Yunnan. The investigation results will be published in the magazine National Geographic. Owing to support of National Geographic Society of USA, KIB scientists carried out the program of the second-phase investigation on fern in Indochina Peninsula. With extremely friendly reception and support of Laos Traditional Medicine Research Center (TMRC), the scientists visited central areas of Laos, such as Ganmeng Province, Bolikansai Province and Wanrong District of Vientiane. This field investigation gathered several hundred specimens, some spores and materials for molecular studies. For the fist time, a systematic survey and study on fern in Laos was carried out.


Editing Work of Botany Volume of the Biology Volumes of the Great Encyclopedia of China Commenced

Due to support and concerns from Great Encyclopedia of China Office and Yunnan Education Publishing House, inception meeting for the editing work of 'Botany Volume of Biology Volumes of the Great Encyclopedia of China' was held at KIB from June 26-27, 2007.

Relying on recommendation and encouragements by Prof. Wu Zhengyi, academician of CAS and editor-in-chief of Biology Volumes of the Great Encyclopedia of China, an editing team consisting of senior experienced experts and young scientists has already been constructed, laying a firm intellectual foundation for editing of the encyclopedia. It’s a traditional convention to edit encyclopedia in prosperous age throughout the history. In the important stage of constructing a moderately prosperous and harmonious society, the central government of China determined to compile the Great Encyclopedia, which is not only requirement for heritage and developing excellent Chinese culture, but also a must for construction of socialist culture with

Chinese characteristics a n d n e w m a r k e d contr ibut ion to the world’s c iv i l izat ion.Tremendous amount cultural classic books are the main carries of Chinese thousands’ y e a r s o f s p l e n d i d

culture, symbolizing China’s outstanding contributions to the human civilization. Using scientific classification methods, a complete, scientific and systematic compilation and filing of cultural masterpieces from pre-Qin to 1911 revolution will be carried out firstly so as to provide accurate, detailed materials for the academia and related departments. The Great Encyclopedia of China now includes books on natural sciences for the first time, with evident features of the times. The completion of the encyclopedia will benefit the entire Chinese people. The editing of the Plant Volume of the encyclopedia is general collection of books on botanical knowledge before 1911, which will reflect the overall comprehending to botany of entire Chinese people, and will record the materials of plant diversity and its changes ever occurred in China throughout the Chinese history. Such editing work of the encyclopedia will link different generations and syncretize knowledge of ancient and modern times with great significance.

Prof. Wu has been actively involved in one of the largest floristic projects in the world, Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae (FRPS), which is the most comprehensive work of its kind that characterizes plant species and their distribution in China, and also is a marked achievement of three generations of botanists. He plays a crucial role in the project and has made unparalleled contributions to the compilation of FRPS. Prof. Wu participated in and directed several investigation projects of plant resources in China. In all, he authored or co-authored 1766 taxa (species or genera) of plants, the highest among all Chinese botanists.


It is his critical contribution that terminated the history that flora growing in China was largely named by foreign botanists. He worked on all vascular plants in China and managed to identify their total number. He successfully worked out major patterns of distribution of seed plants in China and their composition, roles, positions, relationships and evolutionary processes. He proposed the new theory of 'Eight-Class System of Classification of the Angiosperms'. In terms of floristic geography, Prof. Wu greatly put forward the floristic geography theory to explain the origin and evolution of Chinese plants, forming a string of innovative researching thoughts and methodologies on floristic geography. He pointed out the phylogenic relations between Chinese flora and that of tropical area, and revealed the distributional patterns of Chinese flora and their role in a global context. He modified the system of floristic regions of the world, making significant contributions to studies on biodiversity. Wu’s contributions also lie in the effective use of plant resources and conservation of plant diversity in China. At the beginning of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, he was in charge of a project of introducing rubber trees in subtropical areas, and with other colleagues, he resolved a series of technological problems concerning cultivation of rubber trees, tremendously lessening the imperative problem of lacking strategic resources of China. His research greatly facilitated the exploration, development & utilization and introduction & domestication of plant resources in China. He was the first to call for the foundations of national natural reserves and a

germplasm bank of wild species, which received concerns from the central government and top leaders. Now numerous natural reserves and the germplasm bank of wild species have been constructed. Prof. Wu’s work plays a critical role in conservation of biodiversity and sustainable utilization of resources in China. Wu Zhengyi has published more than 140 papers, including 75 SCI-embodied articles, and edited (or co-edited) over 20 monographs, for instance, Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae, Flora of China, Flora Xizangica, Flora Yunnannica. In recognition Wu’s great contributions, he has been awarded many scientific prizes including the International Cosmos Prize, six National Scientific Awards, one international award and the honor of Outstanding Worker of National Science Congress. Preciseness personified, Prof. Wu has cultivated a great many excellent scholars and scientists who have already become senior scientists and project leading experts of varied research fields. Wu now still engages in research work and became the editor-in-chief of the Biology Volumes of the Great Encyclopedia of China. He has even published important papers in recent years. For his deep understanding on flora, Prof. Wu is one of the most famous botanists in the world. He has made basic, innovative and forecasting contributions to botany and protection and use of plant resources in China. Obtaining of the State Supreme Scientific and Technological Award is not only a recognition and praise for his distinguished contributions, but also a proud for all plant scientists in China.
