Institute of Plant Physiology and Ecology (IPPE) was formed by the integration of the former Shanghai Institute of Plant Physiology and Shanghai Institute of Entomology, CAS, in 1999.

Aiming at cutting edge of biological sciences and developmental strategies of agriculture, environment and resources, the research in IPPE is focused on functional genomics and molecular physiology of plants, microorganisms and insects, plant-insect-microbe interactions, and molecular ecology.

IPPE has established exchange and collaborative programs of various forms with many research, educational and industrial institutions at home and abroad. It has substantial collaboration with the National Genome Research Center.

The former Institute of Plant Physiology, CAS, was founded in 1944. It was the cradle of plant physiology research in China, and it contributed greatly to the initiating and promoting molecular genetic research of plants and microorganisms in China. The institute made outstanding achievements of worldly fame in the research of photosynthesis and biological nitrogen fixation. The former Shanghai Institute of Entomology, CAS, was founded in 1959. It was one of the research centers of entomology in China, and got well-known achievements in the studies of insect taxonomy, physiology, coevolution, pesticide resistance and sex pheromones.
