The John Innes Centre's track record in China is very significant indeed. Just one year after Deng Xiaoping's opening reforms were initiated in 1978, the first Chinese scientist to arrive at JIC was Zhihong Xu. Professor Xu went on to be President of Peking University and Vice-President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Since that time, hundreds of Chinese scientists have received their training at JIC. Today, the very best Chinese scientists maintain their close association to JIC. Their work has had real impact on China's food security and health.In 2014, JIC established the Centre of Excellence for Plant and Microbial Sciences (CEPAMS) with the Chinese Academy of Sciences. CEPAMS has been a scientific and diplomatic success story. Building on JIC's long association with China, CEPAMS has seeded excellent, productive research collaborations, established new, world-leading laboratories and nurtured the Sino-UK bilateral relationship.This new project builds on past success to launch a second phase focussed on the impact of CEPAMS on the sustainable development goals in the developing world. The second phase of CEPAMS will involve collaborative research projects between JIC and CAS scientists plus dedicated CEPAMS laboratories in Beijing and Shanghai. The work of both will be explicitly linked to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and underpinned by an emerging Africa-Britain-China initiative.One theme of research in this new project will explore the anti-cancer properties of some plants used in traditional Chinese medicine (Skullcaps). A better understanding of these plants could lead to improved efficacy (health outcomes) of traditional medicines and also improved commercial impact of these medicines on the Chinese economy. In addition to JIC and CAS, this theme will also recruit the expertise of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew to explore medicinal plants in other developing countries and involve African partners.Another theme will look at the close association between plants and microbes and how this association can be both harmful and beneficial. A better understanding of these associations could lead to future growth in crop yields, reductions in crop disease and fewer chemical treatments for crops (e.g. fertilizers and pesticides). The research will look crops that are of growing importance in China (and other developing countries) including oats, tomatoes and kiwi fruit

英尼斯中心在中国的历史记录确实非常重要。就在1978年邓小平开始改革开放一年后，第一位到达JIC的中国科学家是徐智宏。徐教授后来担任北京大学校长和中国科学院副院长。从那时起，数百名中国科学家在JIC接受了培训。如今，最优秀的中国科学家与JIC保持着密切的联系。2014年，JIC与中国科学院共同成立了植物与微生物科学卓越中心（CEPAMS），并与中国农业科学院合作开展了多项科研项目，为中国的粮食安全与健康事业做出了真实的贡献。CEPAMS是一个科学和外交上的成功故事。在JIC与中国长期合作的基础上，CEPAMS已经孕育了优秀的、富有成效的研究合作，建立了新的、世界领先的实验室，并培育了中英双边关系。这个新项目在过去成功的基础上，启动了第二阶段，重点关注CEPAMS对发展中国家可持续发展目标的影响。CEPAMS的第二阶段将涉及JIC和中科院科学家之间的合作研究项目，以及北京和上海的专门CEPAMS实验室。双方的工作将与联合国可持续发展目标明确挂钩，并得到一个新兴的非洲-英国-中国倡议的支持。这个新项目的研究主题之一将探索用于传统中药（黄芩）的一些植物的抗癌特性。更好地了解这些植物可以提高传统药物的功效（健康结果），并改善这些药物对中国经济的商业影响。除了JIC和CAS之外，该主题还将招募基尤的皇家植物园的专家，以探索其他发展中国家的药用植物，并让非洲合作伙伴参与进来。另一个主题将研究植物和微生物之间的密切联系，以及这种联系如何既有害又有益。更好地了解这些关联可能会导致未来作物产量的增长，减少作物病害和减少作物的化学处理（如化肥和农药）。这项研究将着眼于在中国（和其他发展中国家）日益重要的作物，包括燕麦、西红柿和猕猴桃
