■Vision: The center of research and production for tropical crop varieties and healthy seedlings in Taiwan.

■Major programs:

1. Improving of seeds/seedlings propagation and production techniques of tropical crops and related studies.
2. Collection, preservation and exploitation of genetic resources for tropical crops.
3. Study on Production Mode of Healthy Seedlings.
4. Seeds/seedlings production of agricultural crops and horticultural crops.
5. Developing DUS testing methods for tropical plants.
6. Other seeds/seedlings related research.

 ♦Improving of seeds/seedlings propagation and production techniques of tropical crops and related studies

▲Establishment of cocoa artificial pollination technology	▲To screen different Soybean cultivated varieties that are perfect for organic farming
▲Establishment of papaya cutting seedling propagation technology

 ♦Collection, preservation and exploitation of genetic resources for tropical crops.

▲Okra is growing well in organic mode.	▲The development of okra pod

♦Study on Production Mode of Healthy Seedlings.

▲Cucumber planting situation (left) and fruit (right)	▲Planting situation (left) and fruit (right) of eggplant trial cross combination
▲The hybrid line produces abundant fruit, with a yield of more than Tainong No. 2, providing new options for farmer.	▲During the selection process of early generations of papaya, it was found that excellent individual plants could be propagated by vegetative propagation, fixed excellent traits, and shortened the breeding period.
▲Growing healthy seedlings in high-efficiency isolated greenhouses to establish a good nursery environment	▲To establish the self-rooted seedling nursery model of papaya
▲The establishment of a cocoa seed breeding model

 ♦Seeds/seedlings production of agricultural crops and horticultural crops.

▲Establishment of tomato seed miniature production model	▲Handle the production of parental seeds of Maize Tainong No. 1, and enter the flowering and silking stage about 58 days after planting

♦Developing DUS testing methods for tropical plants.

▲There is a new variety of unicorn flower 'Snow Queen' that has completed the substantive verification	▲Handle the variety verification of bougainvillea 'Biji'
▲Handle the variety verification of bougainvillea 'Zixun'

 ♦other

▲The environment for the experiment.
▲Adding at least 1% of tomato powder in diets increased egg yolk color.	▲The treatment with pumpkin powder can improve the eggshell thickness.
▲Establishment of a lesson plan for pectin extraction from papaya fruit waste
