On July 12th, 2023, Seeddevers marked the 10th anniversary of Seeddev lab by hosting a celebration at the Blue Diamond Hotel in Fuyang, Hangzhou. CNRRI former director Dr. Shihua Cheng, deputy director Dr. Kejian Wang, Seeddev alums and friends from CNRRI joined in on the festivities. 

Over the past decade, Seeddev Lab has grown from a single person to a prominent family of 25 current members and over 20 alumni. We have published more than 35 peer-reviewed publications and released 7 patents that wuold impact agriculture research in China and worldwide. We never assumed that this would happen without the presence and selfless support from all the Seeddevers, CNRRI co-workers and friends. Thank you all for everything you do!

The decade-long road in CNRRI is a cherished and memorable journey. It serves as a milestone reminding us to stay thirsty, pursue advancement, and explore the vast possibilities in rice research.

Keep going, Seeddevers!
