Character experience

Peng Shaobing, male, professor and doctoral supervisor of Huazhong Agricultural University. His research interests are crop high-yield physiology and cultivation management, crop nutrition physiology and nutrient management, rice photosynthesis and water physiology, global climate change and stress physiology. 1962 was born in honghu city, Hubei Province, 1979- 1983 Bachelor of Agriculture from Huazhong Agricultural University, 1986 Master of Agriculture from California University, 1990 Doctor of Crop Physiology, 1990 Doctor of Crop Physiology/. He is a senior member of American Agricultural Society and American Crop Society. Outstanding achievements have been made in scientific research. Among them, the paper published in PNAS in the United States in 2004, "Global Warming Causes Rice Yield to Decline with Night Temperature Increase" was selected as "65,438+000 Excellent and Important Scientific Papers in the World in 2004" by Discovery magazine.

Growing experience

Peng Shaobing was born in Honghu County, Hubei Province. 1983 graduated from the Department of Agriculture of Huazhong Agricultural University (formerly Huazhong Agricultural College). In college, Peng Shaobing is the monitor. In the eyes of his classmates, he is diligent. After graduating from college, he went to the United States to study, and obtained a master's degree in agriculture from the University of California (Davis) and a doctorate in crop physiology from the Department of Crop and Soil Science of Texas Tech University. 199 1 year. After completing postdoctoral research at the University of Florida, he competed to work in the International Rice Research Institute and became the first researcher with a China passport.

In 2005, Peng Shaobing won the Best Paper Award from the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). According to the research of "the influence of global climate change on agriculture, environment and human beings", Peng Shaobing found that during the rice growing period, the rice yield decreased by 1 0% for every increase of the average minimum temperature at night. After this research achievement was published in PNAS, the journal of American Academy of Sciences, it attracted great attention from international agricultural circles and media. The American Science magazine, CNN, Reuters, AFP, Associated Press, Xinhua News Agency and other media all made reports.

This great discovery is the result of more than 20 rice experiments in Peng Shaobing 12 years. During the period of 1999 ~ 200 1 year, the yield of the experimental field was reduced for three consecutive years. In nearly 10 years, Peng Shaobing encountered this situation for the first time. At first, Peng Shaobing thought it was his assistants who relaxed the management of Daejeon. After careful inquiry, I found that it was not the case. He looked at the meteorological data in recent years and found no problems. One day, he suddenly thought of the temperature change at night. The results show that the average minimum temperature at night has increased by 1 ~ 2℃ in the past few years. Correlation analysis shows that the influence of temperature change in the evening on crop yield is greater than that of light intensity. He also consulted the meteorological data of Rice Institute 1979 to 2003, and found that in the past 24 years, the temperature rose three times as fast in the evening as in the daytime.

Peng Shaobing said that there are many international controversies about the impact of atmospheric changes, especially temperature rise, on crop production. Most studies on the effects of global warming on crop growth and yield mainly focus on the change of day and night average temperature. Based on the field test results of 12 years, this paper quantitatively analyzed the influence of nighttime temperature rise on crop yield for the first time.

In the "2004 Global 100 Important Scientific Papers" selected by Discovery magazine, this article ranks 68th. Peng Shaobing said that after the article came out, their influence was unexpected. They are further studying the internal mechanism of night temperature affecting rice yield and possible genetic improvement ways, so as to provide theoretical basis for solving the problem of rice yield reduction caused by night temperature increase through breeding.

In fact, long before this research achievement was released, Peng Shaobing had made outstanding achievements in crop physiology and breeding research, and won the "Outstanding Young Scientist Award" awarded by CGIAR with 1996. In addition, it was selected as an "outstanding member" by the American Agricultural Society in 2004 and an "outstanding member" by the American Crop Society in 2005, which is the highest honor granted to members. In 2005, he was hired as a chair professor by Huazhong Agricultural University.
