Origin Agritech Ltd. announced the signing of cooperation agreements (the "agreements") with 12 prominent agricultural companies, including Beidahuang Kenfeng Seed Co. Ltd. and Denong Seed Co. Ltd. The Agreements were formalized during the Company's "Corn Smart Plant Type & Transgenic Breeding" seminar and Field Observation of Origin's corn transgenic experimental field in Sanya, co-hosted with China Agricultural University.
The Agreements encompass comprehensive biotechnology services, focusing on: Application of BBL2-2 transgenic varieties, Molecular marker-based variety improvement, Gene editing technology implementation, and Corn mutant library applications. The Agreements were announced during a high-profile industry event that brought together leading agricultural experts, including Jingrui Dai, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and Yanqiu Zhang, President of the China Seed Association. The event also showcased Origin's successful development of "smart plant type" corn varieties, demonstrated through field observations at Sanya Nanbin Farm.
During the seminar, Origin showcased its latest innovation, the MIGC 20K (Multi-function Integrated Gene Chip 20K), a breakthrough technology developed by Origin's Marker Biological Breeding Platform. This advanced chip leverages data from 40 million SNP sites across 1,218 inbred lines and incorporates 10 million detection data sites from over 2,000 breeding inbred lines in China. The MIGC 20K provides comprehensive solutions for transgenic component identification, variety rights protection, and efficient molecular breeding.
