This is an old man I admired, February 4, he will be held in Shanghai, Liberation Daily, a lecture, I take pictures for him. I do not know how many foreigners know him. He solved the food problem in China, but has always been very modest.
Yuan Longping, male, born in 1930, nine in Beijing, graduated from Southwest College of Agriculture Department of Agronomy in 1953. After graduation, has been engaged in agricultural education and hybrid rice research.
1980-1981 United States served the International Rice Research Institute technical guidance. National Hybrid Rice 1982, he was deputy head of the Expert Advisory Group. Employed in 1991, FAO's chief adviser. Was elected in 1995, the Chinese Academy of Engineering. So far in 1971, served in Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences researchers, and served as Hunan Province, Vice Chairman of the CPPCC Standing Committee, China National Hybrid Rice Research Center.
Yuan Longping is the world's leading hybrid rice expert, hybrid rice research in China pioneer and leader of China's grain production and agricultural science has made an outstanding contribution to the development. The performance of his main achievements in hybrid rice research, application and promotion.
The early seventies, Yuan Longping assistant found the use of the natural male sterility of "WA" as the hybrid rice sterile materials and made a point of view the use of rice heterosis, breaking the world-wide self-pollinating crop breeding a taboo subject. The mid-seventies, with his scientific and technological research group led by the completion of the Three-line and to nurture the success of hybrid rice and achieved a historic breakthrough in hybrid rice. Now all of China's hybrid rice varieties of rice cultivation in the country accounted for 50% and the average yield 20%. Since then, he also proposed the "two-line inter-subspecies heterosis using" the development of the concept of national "863" program under which the two-line as an important project, the project team through six years of painstaking scientific and technological personnel research, has acquired two -line technology, and promote the cultivation, now accounts for 10% of rice area to good effect.
In 1997, he was in the international "super rice" based on the concept, proposed the "super high-yielding hybrid rice breeding" technology route to achieve good results in the experimental fields, nearly 800 kg per mu, and the japonica rice quality category, causing the international community highly valued. To further resolve the large area, a significant challenge to improve rice yield basis.
Agricultural science and technology workers across the country under the joint efforts from 1976 to 1999 to promote cultivation of hybrid rice accumulated 3.5 billion mu, an increase of 350 billion kilograms of rice. In recent years, the national hybrid rice planting area of about 2.3 million mu, accounting for about 50% of the total area of rice, rice production accounts for nearly 60% of the total output, the annual increase of rice can feed 60 million people, social and economic benefits are obvious.
Yuan Longping love for the motherland, high moral character, his achievements and contributions at home and abroad had a strong reaction. Hybrid rice research results obtained so far only the invention of China's Grand Prize. And has won the UNESCO, FAO and many other international awards. Yuan Longping Although the age of 70, has been and remains actively involved in scientific research and production practice, the first line, from the continuously engaged in research, experiment and application.
