hard work
Ji Daofan, a native of Fengyang County, Anhui Province,1was born in Shuxiang Family on July 9, 923. He received a good education from an early age, entered a private school at the age of 6 and entered the primary school affiliated to Fengyang Normal University at the age of 7. He still studied Confucius and Mencius in private schools on Sundays and in winter and summer vacations until he graduated from primary school. Because of the strict family education, he has developed a hard-working style of study since childhood.
Study hard and aim at it.
1935, Ji Daofan was admitted to Fengyang Middle School. 1937, he just finished the first semester of Grade Three. After the July 7th Incident, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out, making it difficult for schools to start classes normally. 1938 In early February, the Japanese army occupied Fengyang. In order to escape the war, they went into exile with their families in the rear. Passing through Hubei and Hunan, I arrived in Shi Ye Township, Xiushan County, Sichuan Province on September 1939, and entered the first branch of the Eighth Middle School in China. At that time, the school in exile was located in the ancestral temple in the country. Living and studying conditions are very difficult. Everyone sleeps on the floor and eats on the floor. Everyone studied hard under the tung oil lamp. Living in Tianye Mountain Village, he witnessed the gradual decline of agriculture and the poor living conditions of the people at that time, and deeply felt that he could not help but sprout the desire to learn agriculture and serve the country in the future. Ji Daofan graduated from high school, 1942, and passed the national examination with excellent results. He was sent to the Agricultural College of Zhejiang University in Meitan, Guizhou without any test, but he had passed the Agricultural Department of Zhejiang University in Guiyang before the exam was released.
Work research
During his study in Zhejiang University, Ji Daofan listened to the lectures of Professor Lu Shougeng, Professor Sun and Professor Tan successively, and was deeply influenced by these scholars. He is very interested in genetics and crop breeding. 1946 in may, I graduated from university with a bachelor's degree and stayed in the agricultural department as a teaching assistant. From June 65438 to June 0946, he retired with the school and moved back to Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province to assist Professor Fu Xiao in teaching biostatistics, crop breeding and cotton research. 1950 10 was sent to Beijing agricultural university to attend the "evolution research class" taught by Soviet experts. 195 1 8 worked as a lecturer after returning to school, assisting Professor Tan to offer Darwinian courses for agricultural college students. 1952 August, faculty adjustment, Zhejiang University Agricultural College became Zhejiang Agricultural College independently, 1960 was renamed Zhejiang Agricultural University. During this period, Ji Daofan served as the director of the teaching and research section of crop genetics and breeding, teaching genetics, crop breeding, cotton planting and other courses. 1978 in August, he served as professor and head of the Department of Agronomy of Zhejiang Agricultural University, and 1984 served as doctoral supervisor to guide master and doctoral students in crop genetics and breeding research. While engaged in teaching and scientific research, Ji Daofan actively participated in some academic and social activities. He has served as a member of the second, third and fourth sessions of the Science and Technology Committee of the Ministry of Agriculture, deputy director of the National Natural Science Terminology Examination Committee, executive director of the Chinese Genetic Society and director of the Education Committee, chairman of the Zhejiang Genetic Society, and vice chairman and honorary chairman of the China Cotton Society.
He has presided over the genetics teaching seminars of Chinese Genetic Society in Guangzhou, Changchun and Shanghai, and actively carried out academic activities of Zhejiang Genetic Society and China Cotton Society. In addition, he is the editorial board member of Genetics, Genetics, China Agricultural Sciences, Crops Journal, Cotton Science, Tobacco Journal, Zhejiang Agricultural Journal and Zhejiang Agricultural University Journal. Ji Daofan is a member of the fourth CPPCC and a representative of the sixth, seventh and eighth National People's Congress.

Main contribution
Ji Daofan attaches great importance to the role of scientific research in improving teaching quality and solving agricultural production problems. At the beginning of the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), in order to expand the promotion of upland cotton to replace Asian cotton, which was widely planted at that time, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of East China organized some experts to inspect the cotton areas in East China. Ji Daofan, together with Professor Fu Xiao and cotton experts from Zhejiang Provincial Department of Agriculture, made an in-depth investigation and analysis of the cotton region in this province. In 1950s, in order to solve the shortage of long-staple cotton supply, he cooperated with relevant cotton scientific research units to study the utilization of interspecific heterosis between upland cotton and island cotton, presided over the selection and breeding of excellent sea-land hybrid cotton "Zhechang 1", which was planted in Jinhua and Cixi, and 1978 won the third prize of Zhejiang scientific and technological achievements. During the Cultural Revolution, he did not give up the cause of cotton genetics and breeding in adversity, and insisted on observing and recording cotton fields.
During this period, he presided over the breeding of a new upland cotton variety Qianjiang No.9, which was popularized and planted in Xiaoshan and Cixi, and won the 1979 Science and Technology Achievement Award of Zhejiang Science Conference. After the downfall of the Gang of Four, he was rejuvenated. He is busy with teaching and scientific research during the day, writing textbooks, writing papers, revising and reviewing other people's papers at night, and spending every summer vacation in cotton fields.
Has presided over the completion of the "Sixth Five-Year Plan", "Seventh Five-Year Plan" and "Eighth Five-Year Plan" national key project "cotton excellent new material creation", as well as the National Natural Science Foundation, Zhejiang Science and Technology Commission and other scientific research projects. In recent years, a new short-season cotton strain "Zhe 506" with the whole growth period less than 100 days and suitable for continuous cropping of wheat and cotton has been bred, and the large-scale trial planting demonstration in Huaibei cotton area has achieved initial results, which has created a precedent for realizing high yield of extra-early short-season cotton by direct seeding after wheat. He presided over the "Study on Distant Hybridization between Wild Cotton Seeds and Cultivated Cotton Seeds", overcame the sterility and unreality of interspecific hybridization with cooperative researchers, and selected a new strain with yield close to upland cotton, excellent fiber quality and specific strength as high as 26 g/tex from the hybrid offspring of wild diploid Somali cotton and cultivated upland cotton variety Henan 79, which provided excellent germplasm resources for cotton breeding, reaching 19965438+.
Ji Daofan attached great importance to the basic theoretical research of cotton genetics and breeding. Since 1950s, he has carried out a series of studies on interspecific heterosis of upland cotton, interspecific heterosis of upland cotton and island cotton, and the relationship between combining ability of upland cotton and its parents. At the end of 1970s, he conducted a genetic study on cotton pigment glands, and selected the genetic materials of cotton boll colorless glands controlled by a pair of recessive genes. His review paper "Inheritance and Breeding of Cotton Glands" has been widely referenced and cited by domestic researchers in this field. He asked the supervised doctoral students to strive for innovation on the basis of previous research and to stand at the forefront of the discipline in research content.
A doctoral thesis entitled "Morphological and Cytogenetic Studies on Cultivated Cotton Interspecific Hybrid F 1 and Its Backcross Offspring" proposed a method to identify cotton interspecific hybrid based on morphological and cytogenetic studies, and obtained a tetraploid hybrid synthesized from four cultivated cotton seeds for the first time at home and abroad, which provided basic materials for further creating cotton germplasm resources. Another doctoral thesis, "Study on Biological Characteristics of Wild Cotton in Australia and Genetic Transfer of Delayed Formation of Pigment Glands in Cotyledons", which he carefully directed, put forward a new concept of "pigment glands" in the development of pigment glands in cotton for the first time at home and abroad by observing tissue sections of different cotton varieties. By crossing different genotypes of upland cotton pigment glands with Australian wild cotton seeds, interspecific hybrid offspring with delayed formation of cotyledon pigment glands were successfully obtained, and the genetic characteristics of this trait were preliminarily clarified, and a new method for breeding Australian wild cotton with a single dominant strain of upland cotton pigment glands as parents was put forward. Now, Ji Daofan is old, but he is still busy in classrooms, fields, greenhouses and laboratories all the year round, tirelessly engaged in agricultural teaching and cotton genetics and breeding research. In this way, he devoted himself silently and made unremitting efforts to pursue and explore the cause of agricultural science and education in the socialist motherland.
