Personal opinion: Scientists should refer to academicians and Changjiang scholars who have made outstanding contributions in the field of science. Of course, there are still a large number of researchers who have made outstanding contributions in a certain aspect, but they have not yet been rated as academicians or Changjiang scholars. All these people can be called scientists.
There are many scientists in the agricultural field. Today, I mainly introduce some academicians of China Academy of Agricultural Sciences to answer the questioner's questions.
(In addition to China Academy of Agricultural Sciences, there are other scientific research institutions and a large number of academicians in colleges and universities, such as China Agricultural University: Academician Wu Changxin and Academician Li Defa; Institute of Subtropics, China Academy of Sciences: Academician Yulong; Southwest University: Academician Xiang Zhonghuai; Guizhou University: Academician Song Baoan; Huazhong Agricultural University: Academician Chen Huanchun; Xinjiang Agricultural Reclamation: Academician Liu Shouren, etc. )
Some academicians of China Academy of Agricultural Sciences:
1. Zhuangsheng Bridge
Zhuang, male, 19 16 was born in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, and is a famous wheat geneticist. 1939 graduated from the Department of Agriculture of Chengdu Jinling College, 1945- 1946 studied wheat quality testing technology in Kansas State College and other places in the United States. 199 1 Elected Academician of China Academy of Sciences. He used to be the director of the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center, the fourth chairman of the China Crops Society, the editor-in-chief of Crops magazine, and a member of the seventh CPPCC.
He is currently a researcher at the Institute of Crop Science, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. He has been engaged in wheat breeding and genetic research all his life, and presided over the breeding of more than 10 excellent winter wheat varieties. He actively explored improved breeding methods, and was one of the few breeders who advocated the use of three-way cross and compound cross earlier in China. He contributed to promoting the application research of quantitative genetics and computer in crop breeding in China and advocating the improvement of wheat processing quality. He presided over the national key project of wheat breeding in the Sixth Five-Year Plan and the Seventh Five-Year Plan, and participated in monographs such as China Wheat Science, China Agricultural Encyclopedia Crop Volume, and China Wheat Variety Improvement and Pedigree Analysis, which made important contributions to the development of wheat production and breeding in China and the prosperity of crop science. He has won the National Science Conference Award (1978), the first prize of the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries for technological progress (1983, 1984, 1985), the first prize of Beijing Technological Progress (1984) and the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress.
A hundred years of life, calm and calm, not trapped by the cold, not disturbed by honor and disgrace, wheat field is his favorite. With some luck and perseverance, we have cultivated more than 65,438+00 excellent wheat varieties and summarized the historical achievements of wheat variety improvement in China. He wove a golden picture of a bumper harvest for the vast fields of the motherland and also described the colorful life of a breeder.
2. Li Jiayang
Li Jiayang, male, 1956, from Feixi, Anhui, is a plant molecular geneticist. In his early years, he obtained a bachelor's degree from Anhui Agricultural University 1982, a master's degree from Institute of Genetics, China Academy of Sciences 199 1, and a doctorate from Brandeis University in the United States, and entered Thompson Institute of Botany, Cornell University in the United States for postdoctoral research. From 65438 to 0994, he returned to China to work, and served as assistant and director of the Institute of Genetics, China Academy of Sciences, and director of the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology. In June 2004, he served as a member of the leading group and vice president of China Academy of Sciences. In June 2065, he served as deputy minister of agriculture, member of the leading group and president of China Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
He has successively won the National Outstanding Youth Fund, the Hundred Talents Program of Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Excellent Team Research Fund of National Natural Science Committee. In 2004, he won the Life Science Achievement Award and the He Li Life Science Award of the Global Chinese Bioscientists Conference, and in 2005, he won the second prize of the National Natural Science Award, the Lecture Award of the Academy of Sciences for the Developing World and the Yangtze River Scholar Achievement Award, and 20 1 1 won the relevant member award of the American Society of Plant Biologists. 200 1 was elected academician of China Academy of Sciences, in 2004, academician of developing countries Academy of Sciences, and 20 1 1 was elected foreign academician of American Academy of Sciences.
The research direction is molecular genetics of growth, development and metabolism of higher plants. The synthetic pathway and mechanism of plant hormones (auxin and lactone) were studied with grain crops rice and model plant Arabidopsis thaliana as materials, aiming at clarifying the molecular mechanism of plant type formation of higher plants, devoting to the molecular variety design of rice and cultivating new varieties with high yield, high quality, high resistance and high efficiency.
3. Chen Hualan
Chen Hualan, female, born in March, 1969, from Baiyin, Gansu, is a virologist. 199 1 got a bachelor's degree from Gansu Agricultural University, 1994 got a master's degree from Gansu Agricultural University, and 1997 got a doctorate from the Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. 65438-0999, went to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for postdoctoral research, and returned to China in 2002. He is currently a researcher at Harbin Veterinary Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, director of the National Avian Influenza Reference Laboratory, director of the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) Avian Influenza Reference Laboratory, and director of the FAO Animal Influenza Reference Center. 20 17 was elected as an academician of China Academy of Sciences.
Mainly engaged in the research of animal influenza virus. She discovered the key molecules and related mechanisms that determine the ability, pathogenicity and respiratory transmission of H5N 1 and H7N9 avian influenza viruses to infect mammals, which provided a key scientific basis for scientific cognition, risk assessment, prevention and control policies and vaccine development of H5N 1 and H7N9 viruses. The bird flu vaccine she created has been widely used at home and abroad, which has produced great social and economic benefits and made important contributions to meeting the major needs of the country.
