Taking "Integrative Plant Biology" as its main research direction, IBCAS is mainly engaged in the research projects on the fields of the eco-environment, modern agriculture, sustainable utilization of plant resources and systematic evolution that are highly related to the disciplinary development in plant sciences and is focused on the national strategic needs. This mission can be achieved by means of the development of new techniques and modern methodologies. These include, but are not limited to, using various -omics commonly applied in experimental biology and bioinformatics, and via the inter-disciplinary approach to conduct research on different levels of organization in plant systems, from molecular, subcellular, cellular, tissue, organ, individual, population to ecosystem together with other relevant disciplines and techniques.
Biosafety is one of the many disciplines in this institute. There is one reseach group called 'biodiversity and biosafety' that conducted several national projects on biosafety assessment of genetically modified plants. Working on the gene flow between GM crops and their wild relatives, this group had set up a detection system to quickly detect the hybrids formed between GM canola and it wild relatives in China.

Biosafety is one of the many disciplines in this institute. There is one reseach group called 'biodiversity and biosafety' that conducted several national projects on biosafety assessment of genetically modified plants. Working on the gene flow between GM crops and their wild relatives, this group had set up a detection system to quickly detect the hybrids formed between GM canola and it wild relatives in China.
Projects on detection and assessment of gene flow between transgenic crops and wild relatives:
1. Ecological consequence of transgene introgression
2. Effect of seed size on fitness of transgenes
3. Assessment and management of gene flow from transgenic oilseed rape and its effect on biodiversity
4. Transgene escape and fitness of transgenic oilseed rape
5. Fitness cost of transgenes
