Yuan Longping, male, Han nationality, without party affiliation, 1930, was born in Beijing on September 7th. His native place is De 'an County, Jiangxi Province. He is an expert in hybrid rice breeding in China and a pioneer in hybrid rice research and development in China. He is known as "the father of hybrid rice in the world".

Former director of National Hybrid Rice Engineering Technology Research Center and Hunan Hybrid Rice Research Center, former vice chairman of Hunan Provincial Political Consultative Conference. Academician of China Academy of Engineering, member of the Standing Committee of the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th CPPCC.

2. Qian Xuesen

Qian Xuesen (1911.12.1-2009.10.31), Han nationality, the 33rd Sun Wu of Qian Liu, a Shanghainese, is a ancestor. World famous scientist, aerodynamist, founder of China manned space flight, academician of China Academy of Sciences and China Academy of Engineering.

The winner of China's two bombs and one satellite meritorious medal is known as "the father of China's space flight", "the father of China's missiles", "the father of China's automatic control" and "the king of rockets". Due to Qian Xuesen's return to China, China's missiles and atomic bombs were launched at least 20 years earlier.

Extended data

Yuan Longping's scientific achievements: 1964 began to study hybrid rice, 1966 bred miracle rice (IR8) in IRRI Philippine International Rice Research Institute.

1974 bred the first hybrid rice combination Nanyou 2. 1975 hybrid rice seed production technology was successfully developed, which laid the foundation for large-scale popularization of hybrid rice. 1985 put forward the strategic idea of hybrid rice breeding, and pointed out the direction for the further development of hybrid rice.

1986, Yuan Longping put forward the hybrid rice breeding strategy, which divided the hybrid rice breeding method into three strategic development stages: three-line method, two-line method and one-line method, that is, the breeding program developed from complex to simple and efficient.

Judging from the utilization level of heterosis, it can be divided into three strategic development stages: the utilization of heterosis among varieties, the utilization of heterosis among subspecies and the utilization of distant heterosis, that is, the utilization of heterosis is developing in an increasingly strong direction.

According to this idea, every time hybrid rice enters a new stage, it is a new breakthrough, which will promote rice production in by going up one flight of stairs. This strategic concept points out the direction for China to explore new hybrid rice after the successful research and development of three-line hybrid rice.
