Yuan Longping, a name belonging to China and the world, initiated the "Second Green Revolution", which brought good news to all mankind. The following is the story of Yuan Longping, the "father of rice" compiled by Bian Xiao. Welcome to reading.
Yuan Longping, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, has been devoted to the research of hybrid rice since 1960s. After 12 years' efforts, he successfully cultivated "three-line hybrid rice". During the period from 1976 to 1987, the planting area of hybrid rice he cultivated reached 1 1 100 million mu, increasing the rice yield 1 100 million Jin. From 65438 to 0979, hybrid rice was transferred to the United States as the first agricultural technology patent in China. Later, he developed a batch of two-line hybrid combinations, which increased the yield by 5%- 10% compared with the existing three-line hybrid rice.
Today, hybrid rice developed in Yuan Longping is widely planted in farmland in the north and south of China. The large-scale popularization and application of hybrid rice has played an important role in increasing grain production in China.
Yuan Longping's hybrid rice attracts worldwide attention, and experts from many countries come to China to learn from it. More than 20 countries and regions such as India and Vietnam have also introduced hybrid rice. Yuan Longping's efforts have also contributed to solving the problem of world food shortage.
Therefore, the China Municipal Government awarded Yuan Longping the honorary titles of "National Advanced Scientist", "National Model Worker" and "National Advanced Worker". The United Nations World Intellectual Property Organization awarded him the Gold Medal and the honorary title of "Outstanding Inventor". International peers call him "the father of hybrid rice".
Character story
Yuan Longping,/kloc-0 was born in Beiping in September, 1930, and/kloc-0 was admitted to the Department of Agriculture of Chongqing Xianghui College in August, 1949. 1953 After graduation in August, he was assigned to teach at Anjiang Agricultural School in Hunan Province. During the teaching career of 19, Yuan Longping engaged in production practice and scientific research topics, and began to embark on the road of crop breeding.
Due to the need of hybrid rice research, Yuan Longping 197 1 was transferred to Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences in February to specialize in hybrid rice research. In order to strengthen and coordinate the scientific research of hybrid rice, Hunan Hybrid Rice Research Center, a national specialized research institution of hybrid rice, was established in June, 1984, and then the National Hybrid Rice Engineering and Technology Research Center was established, with Yuan Longping as its director. 1995 was elected as an academician of China Academy of Engineering.
From 65438 to 0960, Yuan Longping learned from some periodicals that hybrid sorghum, hybrid corn and seedless watermelon have been widely used in domestic and international production. This made Yuan Longping realize that the laws of gene separation, free combination and chain exchange put forward by geneticists Mendel, Morgan and their followers are of great significance to crop breeding. Therefore, Yuan Longping jumped out of the circle of asexual hybridization theory and started the experiment of sexual hybridization of rice.
1in July, 960, he found a unique rice plant in the experimental field of early rice conventional varieties. The next spring, he planted the seeds of this mutant in the experimental field, and the results proved that the rice that stood out from the crowd last year was indeed "natural"
