Xiang zhonghuai, male, was born in July 1937 in Wulong, Chongqing. He graduated from Southwest Agricultural College (one of the predecessors of Southwest University) in 1958. Academician of China Academy of Engineering, professor of Southwest University, doctoral tutor, internationally renowned expert in sericulture, member of the 4th and 5th academic degree committees in the State Council, convener of the evaluation group of animal husbandry, chairman of China sericulture society, executive director of China Agricultural Society, honorary chairman of Sichuan Silk Society, director of China Genetic Society, director of Chongqing Sericulture Research Institute, chairman and honorary chairman of Chongqing Association for Science and Technology, member of Science and Technology Committee of State Education Commission, and deputy director of Chongqing Academic Degree Committee. Member of China Association for Science and Technology, President of Southwest Agricultural University, Director of Key Open Laboratory of Sericulture of Ministry of Agriculture, Director of Institute of Sericulture and Systems Biology of Southwest University, and Chief Scientist of National Sericulture Industry Technology System. Deputies to the Eighth and Ninth National People's Congress, representatives to the 15th Congress of China * * * Production Party, members of the first committee of Chongqing municipality, and chairman of the first Association for Science and Technology of Chongqing municipality.

Academician Xiang Zhonghuai has been engaged in sericulture higher education and scientific research for a long time. As early as 1959, he went deep into the countryside of Shehong County, and found that the disastrous silkworm disease in the vast silkworm areas in northern Sichuan was tick disease, which solved the key problem for the prevention and treatment of the disease and won the National Science Conference Award. Since 196, it has been engaged in the research of silkworm gene resources, established the largest silkworm gene bank in the world, preserved more than 7 lines of genetic system, found more than 6 new mutant genes, established a chain retrieval system and near-allelic system for basic research, and became a famous resource research platform at home and abroad, winning the fourth prize of National Natural Science and the first prize of Sichuan Science and Technology Progress Award. He presided over the breeding and promotion of three pairs of new silkworm varieties and won the first prize of scientific and technological progress in Chongqing. He presided over the silkworm genome project in China. In the fierce international competition and under very difficult conditions, he constructed 12 cDNA libraries of different tissues and different development stages of silkworm, and obtained 82, EST sequences through large-scale sequencing, including 32, non-repetitive sequences, covering about 8% of silkworm functional genes, thus making China the country with the largest number of LEPIDOPTERA insect DNA sequences and an important member of the International LEPIDOPTERA Insect Genome Committee.

In p>23, he presided over the completion of the world's first high-quality silkworm genome frame map, which covered 95% of the silkworm genome and obtained 16,948 complete genes, of which about 6, were newly discovered. At the same time, a number of valuable theoretical achievements have been obtained in the structural characteristics of silkworm genome, gene organization, evolution and comparative genomics, and the research results were published in Science in December 24. This achievement is another great contribution of China scientists after human genome and rice genome. It was selected as one of the top ten scientific and technological advances in China universities in 23. In 24, it was rated as one of the 55 world firsts of China's science and technology since the founding of New China by Science and Technology Daily, and the first prize of Chongqing Natural Science.

Academician Xiang Zhonghuai presided over the establishment of the Key Laboratory of Sericulture of the Ministry of Agriculture and the national key disciplines, presided over more than 2 key projects of the National Natural Science Foundation, national key projects and provincial and ministerial-level projects, and won more than 2 times such as the Special Award of the Japanese Silk Society, the Science and Technology Progress Award of the Hong Kong Heliang Heli Foundation, the Textile Science and Technology Award of the Hong Kong Sang Ma Foundation, the China Agricultural Science and Education Award, the Fourth Prize of the National Natural Science Award, the First Prize of the Provincial (Municipal) Science and Technology Progress Award, and the Teaching Achievement Award. He was awarded "Person of the Year of Scientific China People (24)", "Innovative Person of the Year of China Textile Industry in 25" and "Lifetime Achievement Award of National Cocoon and Silk Industry" in 26, and the outstanding products in Chongqing were produced in party member. He has published more than 2 research papers at home and abroad, and edited 4 academic monographs. He has trained a group of outstanding high-level scientific and technological talents for the country, established an excellent scientific and technological innovation team, and organized and won major national projects such as "973", "863" and "948", making important contributions to sericulture science and education in China.
