Under the support of the State Key Laboratory Breeding Base of Tarim Basin Biological Resources Conservation and Utilization Group, the Biodiversity Laboratory has been conducting research on the collection and conservation of wild plants in the Tarim Basin for a long time.Since 2000, the research team has been engaged in the conservation of Populus euphratica, including the collection and conservation of germplasm resources, genetic diversity assessment, structure and function of Populus euphratica riparian forest ecosystem, as well as the conservation and monitoring of Populus euphratica forest ecosystem.System based on Populus euphratica, Populus pruinosa conservation biology research foundation, the characteristics and advantages of tarim university in 2014 approved the establishment of university scientific research platform – Euphrates poplar research center of tarim university, Populus euphratica, ash resources conservation and ecosystem conservation research provides a new platform, to provide technology support the sustainable development of regional economic and social security in Xinjiang.

The Research Center of Populus euphratica relies on the Key Laboratory of Tarim Basin Biological Resources Conservation and Utilization Corps — the State Key Laboratory Breeding Base jointly built by the province and the ministry as the technical platform.At present, the platform of Populus euphratica research center covers an area of 230 square meters, and the asset investment of instruments and equipment reaches 3.56 million yuan. It has major large-scale experimental instruments and equipment as well as various supporting small and medium-sized instruments and equipment, as well as advanced precision instruments and equipment such as laser scanning confocal microscope, and two independently controlled plant tissue culture rooms.Have speed refrigerated centrifuge, quantitative PCR, ultra-low temperature freezer, vacuum freeze drying apparatus, Bio – Rad electrophoresis apparatus, GelDoc2000 type gel imaging and analysis system, TOMY, automatic steam sterilization pot, GeneAmp9700 PCR instrument, and other types of PCR, AllegraTM64R high-speed refrigerated centrifuge, Eppendorf5417R frozen high-speed centrifuge, Ultrospec4300 ultraviolet spectrophotometer, Nanodrop2000 polarized light spectrophotometer, LABCONCO type ultrapure waterMachine, protein two – way electrophoresis system and other large instruments.Also has specialized in plant physiological and ecological research of mobile stations, Cavitron centrifuge method branches hydraulic conductivity vulnerability system Chinatron – II,  portable plant water potential air-pocket pressure chamber 1505 – d – determination of EXP, portable photosynthesis system LI – 6800 laica total station, LA -s multipurpose plant leaf area meter, Canon LiDE700F portable scanner, Leica slicing machine, scanner, Canon LiDE700F portable leaf area, nikon SMZAll kinds of instruments and equipment are necessary for analyzing plant characters and ecological research, such as 1500 type microscope, formascientific-86 ℃ super low temperature refrigerator, CI-110 plant canopy image analyzer, TAS-986 atomic absorption spectrophotometer, PAM2100 fluorescent chlorophyll analyzer, SPAD-502 portable chlorophyll analyzer, etc.
