The principal event for the biological medicine track of the 2025 China Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition, part of the 19th Challenge Cup national competition, concluded on September 28. The School of Life Sciences at Hubei University achieved remarkable success, securing one Grand Prize and one Second Prize.
The project titled Microflora-Based Green Prevention and Control Solution to Rice Bacterial Blight was awarded the Grand Prize. This project, guided by instructors Huang Xizhi and Zhang Biaoming, and completed by Tan Meibo, Li Jiaxiang, Zheng Huixin, and other team members, addresses the critical need for green prevention and control of rice bacterial blight. Centered on microflora, the team independently developed a platform for high-throughput cultivation, intelligent bacterium selection and microflora assembly to allow for the rapid and precise establishment of a composite microflora system with integrated features of eco-friendliness, long-lasting efficacy, and combined prevention and treatment. The project provides an innovative, commercially viable biopesticide solution for the eco-friendly prevention and control of bacterial diseases in rice.
The project titled Precision in Deer’ection: Development and Application of an Indirect ELISA Kit for Antibody Detection against Deer Brucella secured the Second Prize. Guided by instructors Dong Yanming, Cheng Yibin, and Wang Jianke, this project was completed by Jin Jiacan, Tan Meibo, Huang Rui, and other team members through inter-university collaboration. This project focuses on the urgent demand for rapid detection and prevention of deer brucellosis. The team successfully developed an indirect ELISA detection kit for deer Brucella, filling a technological gap in the field of rapid detection for deer brucellosis within China. This achievement is expected to contribute to the healthy and sustainable development of the deer farming industry in China.
