　　I. Brief Introduction to CATAS
　　Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences (CATAS), the precursor of which was South China Special Forestry Research Institute, was established in Guangzhou in 1954, and was moved to Hainan Province from Guangzhou in 1958. In 1965, it was renamed as South China Academy of Tropical Crops Sciences, and was approved by related authorities to get its current name in 1994. During the developing history of more than 50 years, CATAS has gained great care from state leaders of different generations since the establishment of P.R.China, such as Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Ye Jianying, Dong Biwu, Wang Zhen in the early time, and Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao, Wen Jiabao at present time.
　　CATAS has 14 institutes in four campuses, namely Danzhou, Haikou, Zhanjiang and Sanya (under construction), distributed in “six cities within two provinces”, Hainan Province and Guangdong Province. CATAS has 1 research station for post-doctoral degree and over 40 scientific research platforms, such as the State Research Centre for Tropical Crops Engineering Technology, the State Key Laboratory Incubation Base, the Ministry of Agriculture Key Development Laboratory and so on. As a comprehensive agricultural research institution with integrated subjects and broad research field, it has played the main role in supporting innovative science and technology for tropical agriculture of China.
　　CATAS has a staff of over 3,000 among which there are 2,000 researchers, including nearly 300 advanced members, 12 outstanding experts of state or ministerial level, forming a talent team with high efficiency and scientific assignment for tropical agricultural innovation, science & technology management, achievement transformation and technology support.
　　CATAS enjoys comparatively high popularity for scientific research on tropical agriculture both in domestic and overseas, especially in the fundamental research field such as researches on cassava, rubber, banana and other tropical crops, and some achievements have been in international top level. It has made significant breakthrough in researches on a draft sequence of the cassava, decoding the fungi genome of banana fusarium wilt, latex producing mechanism of rubber tree and so on. In applied researches, CATAS closely combines with the demand of agriculture development in tropical areas to continuously innovate to research and extent amounts of new varieties and new technology for rubber, cassava, fruit, spice & beverage and other tropical crops, for meeting country’s development, for ensuring sufficient supply of tropical agriculture products and for providing powerful scientific support for increasing farmers’ income.
　　CATAS successively undertakes a number of major projects such as state “973”, “863” and supporting plan, and some key assistance projects from international organizations such as FAO and UNDP. It has acquired over 900 scientific and technical achievements, including 50 state-level prizes with one First Prize for State Invention and one First Prize for State Scientific and Technology Progress, over 300 ministerial and provincial level prizes, 137 materialized results, 174 kinds of innovative scientific products within 58 categories, and 68 patents.
　　In the new development period, CATAS adheres to the administration principle of “Openness, Uniqueness and High Standard” to accelerate the construction of five bases of agricultural technology innovation, personnel training, achievement transformation, international cooperation and technology service, and to establish a world-class center for tropical agricultural science and technology. Meanwhile, the construction of national collaboration network for tropical agricultural science and technology further promotes the joint, extensive cooperation and great development of tropical agricultural science and technology.
