"In the end of the year," Rice Life "is a book at the National Hybrid Rice Engineering Technology Research Center Changshu Sub-Center cum Duanmu Yixi Rice, which is a real down-to-earth breeder, and his theory is in reality. Breeding research and extension center on the opening ceremony of the ceremony, which is the father of the hybrid rice on the cover of Yuan Longping academician evaluation of the side of the words. This passage is a whim.
From the beginning of the 1990s, Duanmu Yixi has presided over the breeding of Taihu japonica series, often agricultural japonica series, often excellent series of 17 new rice varieties, and in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Anhui provinces and cities to promote cultivation, at present, the acreage More than 35 million mu, an increase of 10 million kilograms of rice, an increase of social and economic benefits more than 20 billion yuan, he was hailed as "Jiangsu Yuan Longping." Today, we take you approached the Changshu City Agricultural Science and Technology Research Institute of the total agronomic department director Duanmu Yinxi.

"It is a real down - to - earth breeder, and his theory is practical and hard work, and it 's great.

- father of hybrid rice father Yuan Longping

Because of being hungry

He chose the long road of rice breeding

A white straw hat, a pair of black boots, a coarse cloth blue clothes, holding a Huang Chengcheng rice spike ... ... in Changshu Agricultural Institute of rice experimental base, when the farmer costume to meet us toward us, regardless of How can not think of, he is 66 years old this year, "Changyou jiao 6 is approved in Jiangsu Province this year, a new species, Changshu is currently undergoing national production test, after measuring production, this year is expected to reach 850 kg per mu per mu." He told reporters one by one to introduce his cultivation of high yield quality Hybrid japonica rice varieties, tone, demeanor as if to introduce their big and small "son", "daughter".
As we all know, Yuan Longping academician to carry out agricultural research "starting point" is not high. Compared with Yuan Longping, Duanmu Yinxi's "starting point" is even less surprising. 16 years old, because his father died, just graduated from junior high school he had to bid farewell to the infinite nostalgia of the school, came to the production team to participate in collective labor. March 1965, less than 18 years of age junior high school graduates Duanmu Yinxi to Changshu He Township agricultural technology station as agricultural technician, which is his "rice life" starting point. In 1976, he was transferred to the newly established Changshu County Agricultural Institute, from the beginning of a long rice breeding career.
Blink of an eye nearly 50 years, and now Duanmu Yinxi is to enjoy the State Council "special government allowances" rice breeding experts. But it is incredible that his highest degree of education is still only junior college. This is his twenty years ago as Changshu City, when the agricultural science and technology group leader, to participate in Jiangsu Province, higher education self-examination agricultural agglomeration "won". "General chemistry", this course I have not learned before, I have a continuous test for 3 years, up and down two books were I was overripe, some chapters I can come back, to the third year, "general chemistry "I took 90 points." Speaking of the exam, Duanmu silver hee proudly sermon.
It was too busy for him to have time for a higher diploma. Moreover, in his heart, rice is the protagonist of love. From 1994 to 2008 14 years, every year from early May to late October, Duanmu Yixiang rain and rain, almost every day in the breeding base. Every night, the entire small courtyard of the Institute of Agriculture in addition to the guard outside the room, only the third floor of the side of the office of the wood is still lit light. "When I was young, I was unforgettable for the rest of my life, and I wanted to have more people eat and eat," he said. According to reports, hybrid japonica rice can achieve an increase of more than 100 kg per mu, the price per catty of rice can be increased by 1 yuan, increase production, income effect is very prominent.

Because of persistent dreams

He has had two summers for a year

Rice breeding work is very difficult and long time, often a variety of breeding success to go through 10 years of effort. In order to speed up the breeding process, Duanmu Yixi in October each year in Changshu after harvesting rice, they rushed to Hainan for "South Fan generation breeding", has been dry until the end of April the beginning of April the beginning of May. So he had two years a year, one is the southern plains of Jiangnan, the other is the summer of Sanya, Hainan.
In order to select a fine variety, often to cultivate, observe millions of rice. Every year the growth, development, maturity of rice, whether in Changshu, or in Hainan, Duanmu Yinxi stay most of the place is the rice field. The base of the work and living conditions are very difficult. Rice breeding work is inseparable from the open-air operations, many studies must be completed in the fields. High temperature in Hainan, solar radiation strong, two or three days down, people will be off a layer of skin; even more headache is that the rice field mosquitoes in groups, snakes haunt, Duanmu Yinxi and task force staff had to wear heavy And stuffy long sets of shoes under the field. 1:30 pm to two o'clock is the flowering period of rice, the test field for rice hybrid small bags every day more than 700 only. Every five minutes, they have to head the sun, in the hot rice fields for the hybrid rice pollination. Rice flowering only a few tens of minutes, they can only keep in the side, staring at rice, watching it grow up a little bit.
As a long time in the hot sun work, the crowd in the side of the wood Yinxi well recognized: white hair, skin black, reveals a breeding expert "Fan". Hair white because of hard work, skin black is because he had two years a year, the sun is more than others. Off the straw hat, the reporter also found his right eye eyelids have been bowed, it is difficult to open. More special is that his chin has a "white line" through both sides of the earlobe, which is a long hat wearing a hat cap. From 1995 to now, he has 16 winter and spring are spent in Sanya. Duanmu Yinxi said that this is normal, a breeding person if you do not often stay in the sun, he will not have harvest.
Reporters found that the end of wood yinxi speak, always frequent blink of an eye, after a while will use your fingers against the eyes and face rubbing. "This is ... ..." to see the confused expression of the reporter, he hey smile, casually said: "old trouble, eyes chaos plus facial spasm.
In the subsequent interview, the reporter learned from the staff of the Agricultural Institute of the "secret": "Duanmu teacher during the day there are always eight or nine hours in the sun and water in the paddy fields, , The sweat will unknowingly flow into the eyes; to the night, but also in the lamp for a long time pondering the day's record. Long-term eye fatigue, let him suffer from this problem. Start is one or two hours rubbing once, now developed to every Every 20 minutes to rub a rub. "This is the end of the silver silver Yixi difficult to open the right reason.

Because you want to good rice

He will take advantage of the body okay for a few years

Hybrid rice, foreigners call it "Oriental magic rice", not only to a large extent to solve the Chinese people to eat, but also to be considered a magic weapon to solve the problem of world hunger. International even the hybrid rice as China's fourth after the invention of the fifth largest invention.
But Duanmu Yixi is not only satisfied with the problem of increasing production. "To let farmers increase income, must rely on agricultural science and technology." Duanmu Yinxi most reluctant to see is because the use of rice varieties is not good and let the people white busy for a year. Nurturing both high yield, but also rice quality is good, but also good resistance, such a rice as he pursued, for many years to fight for the goal.
From the parents to collect and nurture the CMS line, after a long period of research, Duanmu Yinxi finally cultivate the ideal sterile line "Wu Yun jiao 7 A". In the spring of 1998, the combination of the five hybrid combinations was analyzed. The results showed that the combination of "R254" restorer line and "Wuyunjing 7" sterile line had obvious advantages. Handsome, mature and appropriate, and a good balance between the quality and resistance. In the autumn of 1999, this group was named "Changyou 99-1", and in 2002 and 2003, respectively, through the provincial and national level validation, known as "Changyou l". Later, "Late Japonica CMS Wu Yunjing 7 A" and the new combination of "Changyou l breeding and application" has been included in the national high-tech research and development plan (863 plan), "973 plan" and the country Spark plan. In 2005, "Changyou l" by the Ministry of Agriculture identified as one of the 50 leading varieties of rice.
Cultivating new varieties of rice, can be described as "needle in a haystack", from hybrid combinations to the success of new varieties, it takes ten years to develop a breakthrough high quality hybrid japonica rice is longer. Since the beginning of the new century, Duanmu Yixi has successively fostered four hybrid japonica rice varieties "Changyou" series 2 to 5, and passed the national and Jiangsu secondary identification respectively. Among them, "Changyou 5" not only per mu is still stable at 700 kg up and down, and rice quality of a national standard, by the majority of farmers generally welcomed.
"After October, this season, rice harvest, you can break a break, right?" Reporter asked. "Do not break ah, taking advantage of the body okay, and then dry for a few years." Duanmu Yinxi's ideal is to develop a good resistance, yield 8% to 10%, seed production stable at 400 kg of breakthrough species, His rice life draws a successful full stop. "This crop of rice after the end of next month to bring relevant information to Sanya, Hainan, and then a season of rice." He rubbed his eyes while saying.
"To eat bitter, side for the breeding of people Well! To let the people eat good rice, so that farmers can grow their homes, we run nothing more!" He said cheerfully.
