China News website: yuan Longping is studying the fourth generation of hybrid rice
Yuan Longping, who has just finished his birthday, is still working on a new generation of hybrid rice, China News website reported. Every day, we also go to the experimental field to observe the growth of hybrid rice. At present, he is studying the fourth generation of hybrid rice, trying to increase light and efficiency by 30 to 1500 kilograms per mu. Yuan Longping, who devoted his life to the research, application and promotion of hybrid rice technology, said that his greatest wish is to hold the rice bowl firmly in the hands of the Chinese people.
According to the China News website, Yuan Longping, a native of Dean County, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, graduated from Southwest Agricultural College (now Southwest University), an expert in Chinese hybrid rice breeding, winner of the Order of the Republic, and pioneer of Chinese research and development of hybrid rice, is known as the “father of hybrid rice in the world “. In 1995, he was elected a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering; in 2000, he was awarded the National Supreme Science and Technology Award; and in 2006, he was elected a foreign academician of the National Academy of Sciences. Yuan Longping successfully developed three — line hybrid rice, two — line hybrid rice, super — hybrid rice, two — stage, at the same time, put forward and implemented. In 2018, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council awarded the title of vanguard of reform.
In 1961, Yuan Longping was an ordinary teacher in Hunan Province. On a hot July, a rice later identified as a natural hybrid rice appeared in Yuan Longping’s field of vision, touching his inspiration and arousing his thinking. At that time, there was a great famine on the land of China. Although Yuan Longping holds the national salary and guards the agricultural experiment field, but also does not have enough to eat. Hunger keeps these intellectuals engaged in agricultural research and teaching from turning a blind eye to each other. When they chat together, all the topics revolve around eating. Yuan Longping taught genetics and breeding, crop cultivation and other subjects in school. He thinks, Heterosis is a common phenomenon in nature, but rice, which is the most popular crop around Yuan Longping and the most important food for Chinese people, has no heterosis because it is a kind of self-fertilizing crop. As soon as a rice blossoms, the male flowers naturally pollinate the pistil stigmas that open at the same time on the same plant. Can’t rice really cross? Yuan Longping doubted this theory. He began to look for a breakthrough in the rice field. From this time on, the father of hybrid rice began to appear, which triggered his unremitting pursuit of hybrid rice technology.
June 7 this year, according to China News website. Yuan Longping’s seawater rice regiment was a great success on the edge of the Taklimakan Desert. This means that in a few years, the desert saline-alkali land can also become a good land. Yuan Longping delivered a speech in English on the same day, saying that he was willing to help other developing countries solve the problem of food shortages. However, such a great scientist who can represent the face and demeanor of the country will be scolded. According to the Chinese news website, the cause was that academician Yuan Longping bought two smartphones, which was seen by interested people, causing an uproar. For those who are extremely boring, they work hard to solve the country all their lives. It is a mistake for an old scientist who has a big problem to enjoy life. How ignorant this is.
According to the news website of China, on September 17, Yuan Longping and other eight people received the Order of the Republic. And on the same day, learned that 12 mu of experimental field is in the opposite flower period, Yuan Longping specially from Changsha, Hunan to Hengdong County, to check the “third generation hybrid rice” seed production situation. An elderly man who won the nation’s highest medal of honor was absent from the celebration and looked at the experiment. No wonder Yuan Longping is a real cultivator. When he was a village teacher, he had the courage to subvert world authority. Dedicated to the fields. His lifelong dream is to keep everyone away from hunger
Academician Yuan Longping loved the motherland, high moral character, his achievements and contributions, at home and abroad produced a strong response. The research results of hybrid rice have won the only special award for invention in China so far. And has won UNESCO, FAO and many other international awards. According to the China News website, although Yuan Longping is 90 years old, he is still active in the front line of scientific research and production practice, constantly carrying out research, experiments and applications.This, we should pay tribute to the old gentleman. My mind is not just my own country, always thinking of the benefit of all mankind, the whole world away from famine. There is great love in the heart, indifferent to fame and wealth. To be humble and low-profile, this kind of talent is called the national backbone, there are such scientists, the real is the lucky of China, the world’s good luck.
