Sun Yanhong, postdoctoral researcher of Wuhan Academy of Agricultural Sciences Postdoctoral Research Workstation:
Write the paper on the ground, and use science and technology to support the revitalization of the industry
【Talent Business Card】
Sun Yanhong, female, is a postdoctoral fellow at the Postdoctoral Research Station of Wuhan Academy of Agricultural Sciences. He has long been committed to the research of aquatic breeding, published 6 SCI papers or core journals as the first author or corresponding author, and successively participated in the approval of 2 new varieties of aquatic products led by Wuhan Municipal Affiliated Units - hybrid carp "Pioneer No. 1" and "Pioneer No. 2", and has played an important role in the approval of new varieties through molecular marker auxiliary breeding technology.
Twenty years to sharpen a sword
Always maintain a passion for biological breeding research
Located in Zhengdian Street, Jiangxia District, the Fisheries Research Institute of the Municipal Academy of Agricultural Sciences (referred to as the Fisheries Research Institute), is remote and far from the city, and Sun Yanhong commutes for more than 2 hours a day.
"To engage in scientific research is to be able to endure the temperament, have the determination to persevere to the end, devote all your heart to it, and do this for a lifetime." Engaged in the field of genetics and breeding for nearly 20 years, Sun Yanhong has always maintained a passion for the profession.
In 2013, after graduating from the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences with a doctorate in genetics, Sun Yanhong chose to continue her research work and entered the postdoctoral research station of the Municipal Academy of Agricultural Sciences to become a postdoctoral fellow. At this time, the "Pioneer No. 1" project of hybrid carp of the Municipal Academy of Agricultural Sciences has already met the conditions for the access of "new varieties" after several years of research. Standing on the shoulders of her predecessors, Sun Yanhong began to carry out research on the molecular mechanism of core breeding materials and conducted further in-depth research on the mechanism of this variety.
Hybrid carp "Pioneer No. 1" project for the red-billed red carp (commonly known as "great white diao") "out of the water is dead" technical problems, through the screening and cultivation of excellent traits for artificial breeding, the new variety of "great white diao" is not only resistant to low oxygen environment, but also good physique, rarely sick. Therefore, in the breeding process, drugs are basically not used, the breeding cost is low, and it is a green, safe and efficient "environmentally friendly fish".

Soon after entering the station, Sun Yanhong, with her solid academic foundation and hard-working attitude, obtained a large number of fruitful technical achievements in the follow-up improvement and theoretical research of the hybrid "Pioneer No. 1", which was highly recognized by colleagues in the Fisheries Institute.
It is understood that the core breeding material of hybrid carp "Pioneer No. 1" and "Pioneer No. 2" is black-tailed near-red carp native to the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River and is a unique economic fish of the Yangtze River. The research on this variety has been carried out by the Municipal Academy of Agricultural Sciences for more than ten years.
"Biological breeding research cannot be achieved overnight, but it is a process that requires long-term persistence and continuous innovation." Sun Yanhong said that coming to the Municipal Academy of Agricultural Sciences to carry out postdoctoral work can not only effectively combine theory with practical application, but also further improve the level of research.
After leaving the station in 2015, Sun Yanhong did not hesitate and chose to become an official member of the Fisheries Research Institute of the Municipal Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
"The postdoctoral workstation has promoted the construction of the talent team of scientific research institutes and improved the overall competitiveness." Wei Huijie, member of the general branch and deputy director of the Fisheries Research Institute of the Municipal Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that for high-level talents like Dr. Sun Yanhong, who are interested in scientific research as a lifelong career, the postdoctoral workstation has become the best bridge.
From hybrid carp "Pioneer One" to "Poverty Alleviation One"
"One fish" has achieved wealth creation projects
Wuhan is a major agricultural science and technology city, with 100,000 agricultural science and technology personnel. In recent years, a number of agricultural scientific research achievements have been applied in the field and have become gas stations on the road of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization.
How to more effectively drive villagers out of poverty and become rich, so that everyone has the enthusiasm to participate? Hybrid "Pioneer One" became the most suitable choice. In 2016, in Maochong Village, Xinzhou Fenghuang Town, which was helped by the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the leaders of the institute and the institute led Sun Yanhong and colleagues to visit the door many times to introduce the application value and breeding requirements of Dabai diao, which was fully recognized by the village committee.
In a few days, the village pond and reservoir in Maochong Village were transformed into intensive fish ponds, and a total of 38 acres of fish ponds were opened, and more than 40,000 seedlings were invested free of charge. At present, the breeding of Dabai Diao has become the leading industry in the village, increasing the annual income of the village-level economy by more than 300,000 yuan and becoming a "poverty alleviation fish" for rural revitalization.
According to reports, at present, the footprint of the hybrid carp "Pioneer No. 1" is all over the north and south of the river, and it has been promoted to 2.65 million mu in the country and created a direct economic value of 7.3 billion yuan.
At the national poverty alleviation summary and commendation conference, the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Maochong Village Help and Support Task Force won the title of National Advanced Collective for Poverty Alleviation.
After the success of "Pioneer One", in 2019, the "Pioneer Two" of the Turbot also passed the approval, and a new member of the "WuchangYu" family was added.
Sun Yanhong said that the "pioneer" fish has excellent disease resistance and does not need to use a lot of fish medicine. In addition to the unique taste, this new variety has excellent traits in terms of growth rate, disease resistance, live fish transportation, etc., and is a new variety that is delicious, easy to raise, good luck and good fishing.
At present, the promotion and breeding area of "Pioneer No. 2" has also reached hundreds of thousands of mu, driving a large number of farmers to embark on the road to prosperity.
Aim for the next generation of dominant varieties
In the great cause of "seed industry revival", be brave to be a tidemaker
"The study of aquatic organisms cannot stop for a moment." Sun Yanhong said that the research cycle of new fish varieties is long, the process is complex, and some even need generations of researchers to complete the relay, "When studying this generation of products, we are always working hard for the research and development of the next generation and new varieties." ”
From poverty alleviation to rural revitalization, it is directly related to agricultural science and technology.
"Writing papers on the ground, leaving the results on the field ridges, and keeping the mission in mind" is Sun Yanhong's vow and commitment to scientific research. Sun Yanhong said that taking the "pioneer" of hybrid carp as an example, a large number of new agricultural varieties and improved technologies of the Municipal Academy of Agricultural Sciences have helped farmers improve their lives.
At present, Sun Yanhong also brings several master's students from Huazhong Agricultural University to work every day to help cooperative units cultivate talents. Interlocking and layer by layer, Wuhan's talents and scientific research environment also made Sun Yanhong feel excited.
"Engaged in agricultural scientific research in Wuhan for more than ten years, the environment changes day by day, the growth and development rate is getting faster and faster, and many national, provincial and municipal platforms continue to grow and develop, which can be said to be the best time to engage in scientific research." Sun Yanhong introduced that at present, the talent team of the Municipal Academy of Agricultural Sciences is very sound, the construction of the echelon of three generations of researchers of the old, middle and young, with the support of research funds and policies at all levels, scientific research funds are sufficient, and in recent years, scientific research results have come out one after another. We have ushered in the best era, and the construction of Wuhan's "five centers" will surely be realized as soon as possible.
