This is Li Zhensheng.
Li Zhensheng (1931.2.25-), a native of Zibo, Shandong, is a geneticist, agricultural development strategy expert, wheat genetics and breeder, and the founder of wheat distant hybrid breeding in China. He is the founder of "Contemporary Houji" and Known as "the father of distant hybridization of Chinese wheat".
Li Zhensheng is mainly engaged in research on wheat genetics and distant hybrid breeding. At the same time, he also carried out research on agricultural development strategies. He systematically studied the distant hybridization between wheat and wheatgrass and bred the "Xiaoyan" series of varieties, and bred High-yielding, disease-resistant, high-quality wheat varieties such as Xiaoyan No. 4, 5, and 6, and new hybrid types such as Xiaoyan wheat octoploid, heteroadditional lines, heterogeneous substitution lines, and ectopic lines have been bred.
Extended information
In his 55-year scientific career, he systematically studied the distant hybridization between wheat and wheatgrass and bred a series of "Xiaoyan" varieties. A new system for blue-grain monomer wheat and chromosome engineering breeding was created. In order to purposefully and quickly introduce foreign genes into wheat, he used the "small Yanlan grain" obtained from distant hybridization to breed blue-grain monomer wheat with the seed blue as a genetic marker and a self-fertilizing defective wheat system. .
