1966, Yuan Longping published the paper "Male Sterility of Rice" in Science Bulletin, and formally put forward the idea and idea of utilizing the heterosis of rice by cultivating the "three lines" of rice, thus opening the prelude of hybrid rice research in China.
1973 at the second national hybrid rice scientific research cooperation meeting, Yuan Longping made a speech on behalf of Hunan rice male sterile line research cooperation group on the progress of using wild abortion to select three lines, and officially announced the success of indica hybrid rice three-line matching. Since then, hybrid rice was first popularized in Hunan, then blossomed everywhere in China, and the average yield per mu of rice also soared.
From 65438 to 0996, the former Ministry of Agriculture of China put forward the super rice breeding plan. By combining morphological improvement with heterosis utilization, the scientific research team led by Yuan Longping successfully broke through the problem of super-high-yield rice breeding and constantly refreshed the yield per mu.
Yuan Longping's personality influence.
Yuan Longping devoted all his life to the research, application and popularization of hybrid rice technology, invented the "three-line method" indica hybrid rice, successfully studied the "two-line method" hybrid rice, and established a super hybrid rice technology system, which made outstanding contributions to China's food security, agricultural science development and world food supply.
Yuan Lao's lifelong pursuit is to "develop hybrid rice and benefit the people of the world". In order to realize this ambition, he has long been committed to promoting the technological innovation of hybrid rice and promoting it to the whole world. Complete his life, focus on the field, spread wisdom and harvest wealth. For the sake of "daily necessities" and people's livelihood, Yuan Lao is worthy of being a great man of chivalry and a benevolent person of the country.
