From Tu Youyou To Tu Pengfei, The Father Of Cistanche Deserticola

Tu Youyou got inspiration from the ancient books of Chinese medicine. Through improving the extraction method, she first found that the extract of Artemisia annua has ingredients that can effectively inhibit malaria parasites. Her discovery played a key role in the development of a new anti-malaria drug artemisinin. This discovery has saved millions of lives worldwide.

Tu Youyou's research and development have made outstanding contributions to human life and health, and her research is different from all other scientific research achievements, opening a new window for researchers. Therefore, she is a great person both academically and in life.

Tu Pengfei, father of Cistanche deserticola

Tu Youyou has been committed to the prevention and control of malaria, a worldwide epidemic that seriously endangers human health, for decades. She has sought the source of innovation from the great treasure house of traditional Chinese medicine, drawn innovative inspiration from the vast ancient medical books, and learned innovative means from modern science and technology. She has worked with her research team to persevere, overcome difficulties, and jointly tackle key problems to successfully extract artemisinin from the Chinese herbal medicine Artemisia annua, And a series of artemisinin-based drugs have been developed, which has saved the lives of millions of people worldwide, especially in developing countries, and is a milestone in the world's history of malaria resistance.

Coincidentally, there is also a great scientist in China who is engaged in the artificial cultivation of parasitic plants, and there is no precedent in the international community. He is Professor Tu Pengfei. To solve the problem of artificial planting of Cistanche deserticola, he led students to research the parasitic biology of Cistanche deserticola, screening and cultivation of wild seeds, and large-scale planting technology since the 1990s, and formed a multidisciplinary cooperation team, making breakthroughs in parasitic plant seed germination, inoculation and parasitism, freeze damage prevention, harmless mining, high-quality processing, efficient cultivation and planting of host plants The complete set of technologies for a high and stable yield of Cistanche tubulosa, such as Pest control and other simple and easy to master, has increased the seed germination rate of Cistanche deserticola from less than 30% to more than 80%, and the success rate of artificial inoculation has reached more than 90%. It has developed seed germination inducers, Cistanche deserticola planting agricultural machinery and other supporting products and machinery, won more than 10 national invention patents, and established a 2000 mu Cistanche tubulosa high and stable yield cultivation demonstration base in Tian County, It provides technical support for the large-scale development of Cistanche deserticola deserticola ecological industry in Hotan Prefecture region. A leader in Hotan Prefecture who has experienced the development of Cistanche deserticola industry often said, "Professor Tu has turned Cistanche tubulosa from grass to medicine, and has solved the problem of Cistanche tubulosa planting technology with high and stable yield in large areas. It can be said that without Professor Tu, there would be no Cistanche deserticola industry in Hotan Prefecture today.
