    Liu Xu, born in 1953 in Ding County, Hebei Province, is a renowned scientist in crop germplasm resources. He graduated from the Department of Agronomy at Hebei Agricultural University in 1979 and obtained his M.S. (1983) and Ph.D. (1997) in Crop Genetics and Breeding from the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS). In December 2009, he was elected as an Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. He formerly served as Director General and Party Secretary of the Institute of Crop Germplasm Resources, CAAS, and is currently Vice President of CAAS and a Research Professor. He concurrently serves as President of the Genetic Resources Branch of the Chinese Society of Agronomy, President of the Chinese Society of Agricultural Biotechnology, and Vice President of the China Wild Plant Conservation Association.

    Prof. Liu  Xu has long engaged in the study of crop germplasm resources. He has led and participated in the nationwide collection, conservation, evaluation, and utilization of crop germplasm in China, laying the germplasm and technological foundations for shared utilization, improving the national research system for germplasm conservation and use, advancing in-depth research, and promoting the development of the discipline. He directed research on baseline diversity and technical indicator systems for China’s crop germplasm resources, clarifying the national baseline, establishing technical specification systems, improving information systems, and significantly enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of resource utilization. Over many years he has conducted systematic studies on wheat and its relatives, including analyses, gene discovery, and gene cloning, which have underpinned research on wheat origins and resistance sources. He has also paid sustained attention to issues in agricultural and rural development, carrying out in-depth studies on biodiversity, the agricultural science and technology revolution, and sustainable agriculture. His honors include one First Class and one Second Class National Science and Technology Progress Award, as well as two provincial/ministerial First Prizes. He organized and led the publication of the monograph series Crops of China and Their Wild Relatives and the 110-volume series Technical Specifications for China’s Crop Germplasm Resources.
