Abstract：Genetically modified crops (GMC) bring huge agricultural, socio-economic and environmental benefits with their excellent traits and quality, which are considered to be one of the potential methods to alleviate the global food crisis. Based on patent data, this study attempts to mine and analyze the global research situation, technology hotspots, major countries, and major patent applicants of genetically modified crops. It was revealed that the patents of genetically modified crops had been booming in the past two decades, and genetically modified soybeans and genetically modified corn were the hotspots. The United States led the patents research of genetically modified crops, and Monsanto, Pioneer Seed, Stine Seed Farm and Syngenta were the major applicants, they focused on germplasm resources with multiple combinations of traits. Chinese researchers paid more attention to gene mining of important agronomic traits. Finally, this study proposed to integrate superior resources to seize market opportunities; promote cooperation between academies and enterprises to accelerate the process of industrialization, pay attention to the international layout of patents and improve the intellectual property defense system. This study presents a panoramic view of the global patent research on genetically modified crops, and provides references for the research layout and innovation decision-making in the field of genetically modified crops.
