Recently, staff confirmed that the total number of viable seeds preserved at the National Wild Plant Germplasm Resource Center for Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden has surpassed 100 million. This milestone marks significant progress in the ex-situ conservation of wild plant germplasm resources in east China. The center has been systematically collecting and storing seeds since September of 2017. The collection includes over 100 million seeds gathered from 100 counties across 45 cities in 17 provinces nationwide. All seeds are derived from wild plants, representing 1,950 species in 785 genera and 159 families, including 323 endemic species and 68 rare or endangered plants.
The world's largest transparent spherical neutrino detector in south China's Guangdong Province reported its first achievement on Wednesday, marking a major step of its decade-long construction. Using 59 days of effective data after the start of operation on Aug. 26 this year, JUNO has already measured two of the solar neutrino oscillation parameters with a factor of 1.5 to 1.8 better precision than previous experiments.
