Yuan Longping's contribution is so great, why didn't he win the Nobel Prize?

Yuan Longping is a household name in China. The hybrid rice he cultivated has fed more than 100 million people in China/KLOC-0, and his contribution is beyond doubt. However, the outside world has different views on him, and perhaps praise is always accompanied by doubt. For Yuan Longping, his every move is not only related to the problem of eating in China, but also causes some arguments and rumors.

Many people will ask why Yuan Longping didn't win the Nobel Prize for his great contribution. After careful study, Yuan Longping really doesn't deserve the Nobel Prize. The Nobel Prize is awarded on the basis of major discoveries, breakthroughs and achievements in a certain field.

However, Yuan Longping has cultivated indica hybrid rice, and improved the cultivation method from three lines to one line, which is simpler and has higher yield. However, Yuan Lao was not satisfied with the Nobel Prize, because neither hybrid rice nor three-line hybrid method was first put forward by Yuan Lao. He only successfully cultivated and industrialized hybrid rice.

Three-line hybrid method comes from Japanese science parent Yang Xinyi, and hybrid rice was initiated by American agronomist Henry Beecher. With the help of his assistant, Yuan Lao summed up the experience and lessons of his predecessors, and achieved success through unremitting scientific research efforts. He did not meet the criteria for winning the prize, and his contribution was still great. He could not determine the value only by the Nobel Prize.

Yuan Longping, which is at the center of the controversy, has been concerned by major media and even caused some rumors. 20 12 An article entitled "Yuan Longping: Genetically Modified Food or Affecting Fertility, People Are Not Rats" was reprinted by all parties, which caused a fierce public reaction. The father of hybrid rice said that genetically modified food affects fertility. Is it true?/You don't say. Yuan Lao repeatedly responded that he didn't say that because others misinterpreted his meaning. 20 18 Yuan Lao was interviewed by Phoenix Finance, and the real answer was that "genetically modified soybeans in the United States have added herbicide-resistant genes, which are harmless to human body. China imports tens of millions of tons of soybeans from the United States every year, and there is no problem at all. "

This seems to show that Yuan has always thought that genetically modified foods are ok, but if you think about it carefully, what he said is that herbicide-resistant genes are harmless to human body, and China imports a lot of soybeans from the United States every year, which is no problem and may not change. Therefore, it can only be said that Yuan Lao did not say that genetically modified food is not good, nor did he explicitly say that genetically modified food is good.
