Abstract: To meet the demand for professional and technical talents in the field of agriculture in the context of new quality productivity, and to address the urgent problems in the teaching process of molecular biology, a series of teaching reform measures were proposed in this article. Key components of this strategy included refining the educational curriculum and syllabus to incorporate state-of-the-art interdisciplinary courses, enhancing teaching methodologies through diversification, and reinforcing practical training to bolster students’ hands-on skills and scientific research competence. Additionally, the reform focused on strengthening teaching materials and faculty development to maintain the relevance and timeliness of educational content. Furthermore, fostering academia-industry partnerships, integrating production, education, and research, and facilitating the translation and application of research findings were vital aspects of this reform. The ultimate goal was to nurture agricultural professionals with a robust theoretical foundation, broad knowledge, a keen sense of innovation, and practical abilities, thereby supporting the development of modern agriculture by building a capable talent pool. The implementation of these reform strategies improved students’ comprehensive competencies and employability, thereby also enhancing innovation and development in the agricultural field.
