Biotechnology and Bioindustry in China Dr. Yinhong Zhao China National Centre for Biotechnology Development (CNCBD) Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) China
Main Topics • 1. Policy and Approaches • 2. Priorities and Key Technologies • 3. Biological resources • 4. Talents and Organizations • 5. Achievements • 6. Bio-safety • 6. Biotechnology Industry • 8. Administration of BT and BI
BT, BI, BE in the World Biotechnology (BT) is the largest field of R&D in many countries Biotechnology industry (BI) is becoming the growing point of the economy Biotechnology economy (BE) will be the next new economy of the world
Biotechnology Situation in China The Chinese government has made great efforts on research and development of biotechnology and its industrializationBiotechnology research and development area is the largest priority in China.Bioindustry is rising abruptly.
1. Policy and Approaches • The key approach for biotechnology development is to • encourage innovation and progress of BT • very prudently promote biotechnology • promote sustainability of economy by BE • ensure the bio-safety
2. Priorities and Key Technologies • The priority research areas • basic biology, biomedicine, bioagriculture, bioenvironmental technology, biodiversity and biosafety etc. • The key technologies • functional genome, proteome, biochips, tissue engineering, bioreactors of animals and plants, gene engineering pharmaceutical and vaccines, gene therapy and the transgenic technology of animals and plants, bio-pesticide, bio-fertilizer, bio-safety and others.
3. China is one of the countries with the richest biological resources and diversity • Territory length is about 5200 km from east to west,5500 km from north to south • coastline of mainland is over 18000 km • area of land is about 9.6million km2 • A vast territory stretching from the cold zone,the temperate zone to the tropics • The inland sea level altitudes from -155 to 8848 meters
3. China is one of the countries with the richest biological resources and diversity “Mother of World Garden” • Approximately 0.26 million species of animals, plants and microbes. • Over 30,000 species for plants, 200,000 species for animals, 30,000 species for microorganisms.
3. China is one of the countries with the richest biological resources and diversity • 3,000 family species of the Chinese people related with major illness collected • 0.32 million units of idioplasmatic resources of crops collected
4. Talents and Organizations • Nearly 200 major biotechnology laboratories • More than 20,000 technological and research personnel
—Government:about 10 billion in the tenth “five-year plan” MOST:more than 5.7 billion yuan 863: 2.8 billion yuan 973: 1.2 billion yuan(including national key laboratories) talents:900 million yuan Special funding: 800 millionyuan CPC: 1 billion yuan NSFC: 1.5 billion yuan CAS: 500 million yuan Local governments: 1 billion yuan —Enterprises: 500 million yuan (estimated) Expenditure
5. Achievements in the field of Biotechnology in China • basic research • agriculture • pharmaceuticals • environment and energy • application in industry
1% human genomic research Sequencing of the whole rice genome (9311) Cloning of disease-related genes to neural deafness Dentinogenesis imperfecta type II (DGI-II) Cloning of cattle, lamb, rabbit, mouse 5-1Achievements in basic research
5-2 Achievements in agriculture • Two-line hybrid rice • Disease-resistant wheat: powdery mildew, yellow dwarf disease, wheat scab • Insect-resistant rice • Transgenic cow, fish, lamb, pig and rabbit • Biological pesticide: BT insecticide • Biofertilizer: recombinant nitrogen-fixing bacteria • Biological forage additives: phytase
Food Supply and Population Increase Biotechnology Provide Great Potential Hybrid Rice: 15 million ha. (more than 1/2 of rice planting area in China) Yield Increase: 20%
Transgenic crops commercialized: Cotton, insect-resistant, Monsanto Co., USA Morning gloray, Peking Univ. Cotton, insect-resistant, CAAS Cotton, insect-resistant (double-resistant), CAAS 5-2Achievements in agriculture Planting area of Bt-Cotton increases steadily. in tHa
China is the 2nd country which possess a complete set of production techniques of insect-resistant transgenic cotton. Farmers increased their incomes for 60 million US $ by planting BT cotton in the last five years.
Disease-resistant, insect-resistant, herbicide-tolerantrice varieties and rapid-growing carp can be commercialized at right moment.
Mammary gland bioreactor is being developed.
Biofertilizer • A 10,000-ton production line has been set up to produce DNA-recombinant nitrogen-fixing bacteria. • 5 DNA-recombinant microbial preparations like vaccines for domesticable animals and 3 microbial insecticides such as trans-BT gene microbial preparations have already been authorized.
5-3 Achievements in pharmaceuticals 21 various drugs and vaccines have been commercialized. About150 drugs are in clinical trials. 6 genetic solutions, and 6 tissue engineering products like bone, cartilage, skin, ligament are in clinical trials.

5-4 Biotechnology in environment and energy China has started research programs concerning: • the alcohol fuel, • control of water pollution, • garbage disposal, • greenery of barren mountains, desert • others.
Many important industrial chemicals like polypropylene amide, glycerol, DC12, DC13 are produced by means of microbial fermentation in place of the traditional chemosynthesis method. The production capacity of polypropylene amide almost reaches 10,000 ton level. 5-5 Application of biotechnology in industry
