Zhang Yalin told reporters that the discipline has now formed four stable disciplines, and the direction of entomology and biodiversity is at the international advanced level, which has certain influence and popularity at home and abroad; In insect ecology and integrated pest management, it is characterized by aphids, midges and fruit tree pests, and won the National Science Conference Award. In the research of insect physiology, biochemistry and toxicology, the first book "Insect Biochemistry" was published in China, which was in the forefront of the country in the toxicology of natural products pesticides, and the molecular biology research of insect viruses developed well. The biological direction of forest fruit pest management and protection has great influence in China.
According to Zhang Yalin, thanks to the concerted efforts of the whole team, during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, the subject points hosted and participated in more than 30 scientific research projects 130, and the scientific research funds amounted to more than 60,000 yuan, and more than 0 scientific research achievements were obtained 10, and 5 provincial scientific and technological progress awards were won. He has published more than 280 papers and monographs 15 in academic journals at home and abroad, and obtained 18 invention patents. Most doctors and post-doctors have become outstanding talents, chief scientists and trans-century talents in entomology in China. Won the special prize and the second prize of outstanding teaching achievements in Shaanxi Province 1 item. Two courses were rated as national excellent courses, and two main courses were rated as provincial key courses. Editor-in-chief of 5 textbooks compiled by the whole country. This discipline is the only doctoral degree authorization point of "Agricultural Pest Control" in Northwest China, and it has become the agricultural science and technology support for the development of China, especially the western region, and the training base for advanced entomology professionals.
Build a first-class discipline echelon and improve the overall strength of the team
The construction of discipline echelon has achieved remarkable results, reasonable structure and high quality. At present, there are 67 full-time staff members, including professors 19 (doctoral supervisor 13), 22 associate professors and 26 lecturers, of whom 28 have obtained doctoral degrees, 14 are studying for doctoral degrees on the job, and 16 are studying abroad or cooperating in research. Fellow of San Marino International Academy of Sciences 1 person, two candidates for the first and second level of the National Million Talents Program, national outstanding teachers 1 person, national outstanding talents of the Ministry of Education in the new century 1 person, national "women's meritorious service" pacesetter 1 person, first-class "three or five talents" in Shaanxi Province, and Shaanxi Province In the past five years, 7 postdoctoral students have been enrolled and 3 have left the station; Recruited 79 doctoral students and awarded 36 degrees after graduation; Recruit 2 17 graduate students, and award 134 degree after graduation; 1 doctoral dissertation was rated as an excellent doctoral dissertation in Shaanxi Province.
Actively carry out academic exchanges and promote the continuous development of disciplines
The discipline has established cooperative relations with dozens of universities and research institutes in the United States, Canada, Germany, Britain, France, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, India and other countries, and has been funded by many overseas study programs of the state and the Ministry of Education, as well as key open laboratories of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Agriculture as platforms. With the help of these resources, the discipline actively sends young and middle-aged teachers and graduate students abroad for joint training, degree study and cooperative research, and organizes and participates in academic conferences at home and abroad to carry out multi-channel and multi-form academic exchanges, broaden international horizons and grasp the dynamics of the discipline.
This subject is one of the three major platforms of the national "985 Project" in our university. There are the earliest insect museum in China and the largest in the world, the key laboratory of the Ministry of Education, the key open laboratory of the Ministry of Agriculture, the Insect Research Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture, the national science and technology infrastructure platform construction project-the insect germplasm resources preservation base, and the insect breeding building and greenhouse. The total infrastructure area of discipline points is more than10.3 million square meters, and the basic conditions for teaching and scientific research are good. In particular, two research platforms of biodiversity, entomology and applied entomology have been integrated and established, and the hardware conditions and operation management have been reformed, forming an effective mechanism of * * * co-construction, opening and * * * sharing. At the same time, the discipline also founded the international academic journal Journal of Insect Taxonomy at 1979, with 2 societies and 1 award foundation.
The goal of this discipline is to create a first-class discipline in China and a world-famous discipline. The main task is to recruit and train high-level professionals such as doctoral students and postdoctoral students, accept visiting scholars at home and abroad, and carry out high-level scientific research. We will seize the opportunity of the "2 1 1 Engineering" national key discipline, keep up with the world's scientific and technological development level, conduct extensive academic exchanges at home and abroad, and improve the overall level of the discipline.
At the end of the interview, Zhang Yalin told reporters that in the next five years, the discipline will make full use of the opportunity of being selected as a national key (cultivated) discipline, and on the one hand, it will further strengthen cooperation and exchanges at home and abroad, introduce and absorb foreign advanced technologies, methods and theories, and aim at the forefront of the discipline on the basis of grasping the world development trend; On the other hand, we should pay close attention to source innovation, give full play to and make full use of the advantages of key open laboratories and insect museums in the third department of our discipline, and make a major breakthrough in scientific research. Through the construction of "2 1 1" key discipline project, this discipline will be built into a key dominant discipline with complete research direction, outstanding key points and advantages, domestic first-class, international advanced and extensive influence, and become an important supporting force and discipline base for plant protection, especially entomology, in the national western development strategy, and make due contributions to promoting the sustainable development of agriculture in China.
