Yuan Longping China hybrid rice breeding expert, winner of "* * * and national medal", pioneer of hybrid rice research and development in China, known as "the father of hybrid rice in the world". 1995 was elected as an academician of China Academy of Engineering, won the highest national science and technology award in 2000, and was elected as a foreign academician of the National Academy of Sciences in 2006. Yuan Longping has successfully developed three-line hybrid rice, two-line hybrid rice and super hybrid rice. At the same time, the "Three Cooks and Four Highs Project" was put forward and implemented. 20 18 was awarded the title of reform pioneer by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council.
He designed the super-high yield plant type model with high canopy, short panicle layer and large panicle and the technical route of cultivating super hybrid rice, and the research on super hybrid rice has made great progress. Since 2007, it has achieved great results in increasing production and income, and has been implemented in seven provinces and cities across the country. Among them, in 20 12, the number of counties (cities, districts) in Hunan Province increased from 20 to 50, covering an area of 8.82 million mu. By the end of 20 12, the accumulated demonstration and promotion area was more than 20 million mu, with an increase of more than 2 billion kilograms, which made new contributions to the sustained and stable increase of grain production.
Both of them have made great contributions to society and are irreplaceable in the world. Both of them will go down in history.
