Abstract:

Aiming at the application of transgenic technology in the improvement of staple food crops in China, this study described the principles and advantages of transgenic technology. The research progress of transgenic technology in the improvement of staple food crops (maize, wheat and rice) in China was reviewed. Moreover, the main application of transgenic technology in disease resistance, insect resistance, herbicide resistance and quality improvement of staple food crops in China was summarized. At last, the study put forward future research directions, expecting that people can better understand transgenic plants and treat the application and development of transgenic plants with a scientific attitude.

Key words: transgenic technology, staple food crops, breeding, resistance to diseases, insects and herbicides, quality improvement
