At present, he is the director of economic forest and Fruit Research Institute of Hunan Academy of Forestry Sciences and the executive director of economic forest branch of China forestry society.

Characters and deeds

"The quality of Camellia oleifera is very worthy of our study. It grows in arid and barren land, and can still produce nutritious Camellia oleifera seeds." Researcher Chen Yongzhong, who has been engaged in the breeding and cultivation of Camellia oleifera for a long time, said: "Camellia oleifera is my career and my pursuit." Chen Yongzhong was born in a small village in Hengxian County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in 1965. His poor childhood stimulated his thirst for knowledge and cultivated his perseverance. In 1981, Chen Yongzhong got the major of economic forest in Zhongnan Forestry University with excellent results. After graduating from university in 1985, he was assigned to Hunan Academy of Forestry Sciences to engage in scientific research of Camellia oleifera. Camellia oleifera is a kind of perennial woody plant oil tree species. In order to cultivate new varieties with high yield and quality, it often takes more than ten years or even decades to go through a generation from the selection of superior trees to the evaluation of clones and the cultivation of families and hybrid combinations. Over the past 20 years, Chen Yongzhong has presided over the development of 13 new varieties of Camellia oleifera, and also participated in the breeding of more than 80 excellent new varieties of Camellia oleifera. These improved varieties are 5-9 times higher than the natural forest of Camellia oleifera. "A scientific research achievement is often the result of decades of hard work of a forest cultivation worker, or even the crystallization of generations of scientific researchers." "I achieved these results because I stood on the shoulders of my predecessors," Chen said What Dr. Chen Yongzhong has gained is not as easy as he said. Over the years, he has presided over such key projects as "two-line hybrid breeding of Camellia oleifera" and "national regionalization test of excellent strains of Camellia oleifera". He has spent almost half of his time on business trips and traveled all over the southern Camellia oleifera producing areas, The research work includes resource collection, investigation, site selection of experimental forest, experimental layout, on-site afforestation and experimental investigation, as well as the promotion and application of improved varieties of Camellia oleifera, such as demonstration site construction and technical training. They go down to the grassroots, go to the mountains, eat and live with farmers; without electricity, they can only record and analyze data by candlelight; they are covered in mud on rainy days and sweat on sunny days, and endure mosquito bites. Many colleagues around him have changed careers, but Chen Yongzhong still sticks to it: "since he has done this career, he must fall in love with it. Only when he has done the best can he have a clear conscience." Chen Yongzhong does what he says. He has successively presided over and participated in more than 20 key projects of National Natural Science Foundation of China, Ministry of science and technology, Ministry of forestry and province, won 6 national, provincial and ministerial scientific and technological progress awards, and 1 national invention patent; presided over and completed the project "Research on excellent hybrid combination, family and clone breeding and population yield characteristics of Camellia oleifera", It is the first time to carry out comprehensive research on the seed setting characteristics of Camellia oleifera Clones. The project passed the appraisal organized by the State Forestry Administration in 2003, and its achievements ranked the international leading level, and won the second prize of science and technology progress of Hunan Province in 2004. through the efforts of generations of scientific research personnel such as Chen Yongzhong, the output and quality of Camellia oleifera have been gradually improved. As a characteristic product of Hunan Province and even China, Camellia oleifera is increasingly on the world stage. "Tea oil has the power of beauty and health care, comparable to olive oil," Chen Yongzhong said. "At present, China's Camellia oleifera planting area is 60 million mu, and the annual output of tea oil is 200000 tons. This is far from meeting the needs of domestic and international markets. With the optimization of Camellia oleifera varieties and the improvement of people's living standards, the ideal output of Camellia oleifera in China should be about 2 million tons per year. " in order to improve his theoretical level and tackle the optimization of Camellia oleifera varieties, Chen Yongzhong seized every opportunity to learn. From 1997 to 2002, he studied for a master's degree and a doctor's degree in forest cultivation in Zhongnan Forestry University; from 2000 to 2001, he was selected and appointed by the national study abroad fund committee to go to the Swedish agricultural university to study forestry biotechnology. Chen Yongzhong, who is engaged in scientific research and theory, pays more attention to practice. He has been in the Camellia oleifera production areas for a long time, working closely with Camellia oleifera production units and oil processing enterprises, vigorously promoting improved varieties through scientific and technological demonstration, and has successively established 308 hectares of ear picking nursery and demonstration forest in Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangxi and Hubei Camellia oleifera production areas. In 1998, the 40 hectare demonstration forest in chunkou of Liuyang produced 321.9 kg of oil per hectare, far exceeding the national standard of 225 kg / hectare high-yield Camellia oleifera forest. The area of radiation extension of the improved varieties has reached 20000 hectares in each production area, which has produced great economic and social benefits.

academic achievements

He has successively presided over and participated in more than 10 key projects of the Ministry of science and technology, the Ministry of forestry and the province, won 6 national, provincial and ministerial awards for scientific and technological progress, and 1 national invention patent. Among them, he has presided over and completed the research on excellent hybrid combination, family and clone breeding and population yield characters of Camellia oleifera, selected excellent hybrid combination of Camellia oleifera for the first time, and made deep research on different stand types of Camellia oleifera In this study, the population fruiting law and fruit bearing characteristics were comprehensively expounded. The research passed the result appraisal in 2003, ranking the international leading level. More than 80 improved varieties of Camellia oleifera have been bred, which doubled the level of improved varieties of Camellia oleifera. Through training classes, popular science materials and scientific and technological demonstration, the improved varieties have reached 20000 hectares. In 2005, he won the fifth Hunan Youth Science and technology award. More than 30 papers have been published, one has been included in SCI, and three books have been published. He presided over the research on male sterility breeding and cross breeding of Camellia oleifera, which passed the appraisal of the achievements of the State Forestry Administration. He presided over the research on the promotion of new high-yield varieties and high-yield cultivation techniques of Camellia oleifera, which passed the acceptance of the State Forestry Administration. He also presided over the Research on the selection and breeding of excellent hybrid combinations, families and clones of Camellia oleifera, which won the second prize of science and technology progress of Hunan Province in 2004, ranking first 4.
