从国际马铃薯中心(CIP)创建那天起,就制定了一项与其它机构协作研究的策略,其宗旨就在于利用每个机构的相对优势去从事改良马铃薯的研究。这类共同研究协定已经使得本中心事半功倍地达到了目的。在过去的几年中,有几项类似的共同研究协议已经被国际马铃薯中心沿用到新的研究领域中,例如:植物组织培养和遗传工程。国际马铃薯中心已经从事了多年植物生物技术的工作,事实上有许多这类工作在其它的机构中被认为是生物技术的研究,而在本中心的组织培养实验室中只是日常工 Since the creation of the International Potato Center (CIP), a strategy has been developed for collaborative research with other agencies whose purpose is to capitalize on the comparative advantage of each agency to conduct research on improved potatoes. Such a common research agreement has enabled the Center to do its part with half the effort. In the past few years, several similar common research protocols have been used by IUPs in new fields of research, such as plant tissue culture and genetic engineering. IUCN has been working on plant biotechnology for many years. In fact, many of these work are considered as biotechnology research in other organizations but only routinely in our center’s tissue culture lab
