On the morning of March 29th, Huang Luqi, the academician from the Chinese Academy of Engineering gave a report entitled“ Thinking after the Nobel prize” for the fifteenth high-end Crop Science Forum at the lecture hall of the first floor of National Key Laboratory of Crop Genetic Improvement. Huang Luqi was employed as a special professor of medicinal plant science for the college of Plant Science and Technology in our school and was awarded the letter of appointment by President Deng Xiuxin. The report was presided by Dean Yan Jianbing of the college of Plant Science and Technology.

Before the report, Deng Xiuxin made a speech about the experience that he got acquainted with Huang Luqi during the expansion of modern agricultural technology system. He said,Today, the agriculture has come through the days that people can eat full. Eating well is under way. People now are more concerned about the functional component of the plant which is related to health. The Chinese medicinal material that he has studied is the combination of agriculture and medicine.

Then, Huang Luqi gave an academic report about the research history and development of Chinese medicinal materials. He made a simple explanation about the distinction of Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine. The western logical mind originated from the ancient Greek Philosophy. The spatial culture gave birth to the Western Medicine which was marked by micro analysis, antagonism therapy and experimental result. Chinese Medicine originated from oriental farming civilization and Chinese Medicine emphasized the holistic concept and formed a dialectical and unified characteristic.

Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize of science and technology which was the outstanding performance of the fascination of Chinese Medicine. In the Early Stages of New China, malaria prevailed in the Vietnam War and it was imperative to research the antimalarial. Tu Youyou got inspiration from the Chinese character “渍” which was in an ancient book named“A Handbook of Prescriptions for Emergencies”.She extracted the sweet wormwood in an unheated way and obtained the artemisinin.

Later, Huang Luqi shared his breakthrough progress in the research of Chinese medicine. Firstly, he introduced the research about the property of Chinese medicine. He expressed that the property of Chinese medicine was related to inheritance and environment. With the help of this view, he acquired the law by researching the property of Umbelliferae Plant that the closer the phytogenetic relationship was, the more similar the chemical composition and pharmacological action were.

He introduced the turmeric and curcuma who came from different parts of the same plant but had the opposite effect. Through the in-depth study of this phenomenon, he founded that different contents of curcumin led to different properties. So the content of curcumin is the material basis of property.

Huang Luqi also made progress in the study which was about the molecular biology of genuine regional drug.The combination of pharmacognosy and molecular biology facilitated the formation of Molecular Pharmacognosy. By evaluating the medicinal materials in the way which combined inheritance and supersession together, he expressed his aspiration to cooperate with our school in the genetic improvement of crops.

 

Character Introduction: Huang Luqi, academician of the Academy of engineering, doctor of Peking University Health Science Center, incumbent subdecanal of China College of traditional Chinese Medicine, chief researcher, director of Chinese Medicine Resources Center, the leader of the expert guidance group for the pilot work of the national census of traditional Chinese medicine resources, the leader of the innovative team of Chinese medicine resources in key areas of the Ministry of science and technology, the leader of the State Key Laboratory (cultivating base) of traditional Chinese medicinal materials by the Ministry of China. He was the former chief scientist of the national 973 Programs who had organized and implemented the pilot work of the fourth national census of the important resource, put forward and developed the theory of the formation of molecular pharmacognosy and traditional Chinese Medicine, established five kinds of protected models for cherishing the endangered common Chinese medicine resources. He had won the second prize for national scientific and technological progress for four times. He won the honour of the National Outstanding Youth Science Fund, the outstanding contribution award for China Standard Innovation, the National Excellent Doctoral Thesis Instructor and so on.
