Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) held the 2024 Summer Camp for Outstanding College Students between July 27 and August 5. It is the 12th time for XTBG to holding this kind of summer camp. A total of 62 outstanding college students from 40 universities, including Peking University, Beijing Normal University, China Agricultural University, Ocean University of China, and Hainan University, gathered together here.

In a study published in New Phytologist, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) generated a high-quality chromosome-level assembly for C. odorata, which is the first telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome in magnoliids and provides a valuable genomic basis for obtaining insights into the phylogenetic position of magnoliids.

In a study published in Nature Ecology and Evolution, researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have provided strong support for this central prediction by examining phytochemical diversity and herbivory in 60 tree communities ranging from species-rich tropical rainforests to species-poor subalpine forests

To mark the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the French National Center for Scientific Research established the Sino-French International Research Network on Biodiversity in Beijing on Tuesday.
