One hundred important questions facing plant science research - Grierson - 2011 - New Phytologist - Wiley Online Library: http://bit.ly/o7VC1Z


对我来说这篇文献简易明白,没有利用到很深奥的科学用词。只要在高中读过生物学应该都能了解。此文献提到当今植物学在粮食供应,再生能源所扮演的角色。以及一些值得让我们思考的问题,更提到植物学研究不能只靠植物学家,它也需社会各阶层的配合。

往往我们东方文化都会认为只有医学系、药剂学、法律或工商才是有前途的行业。但我认为我们需要更多的新生代投入科研,尤其植物学研究。我前任导师曾说全球只有10% 生物科学研究员是搞植物研究的。考虑到未来粮食危机的问题,我需积极栽培相关领域的人力。我认同国内高教部副部长所言:(载至东方日报的推特),如下:

高教部副部長何國忠呼籲華裔子弟,在大專選科上突破傳統和保守的思維,帶領華族邁向多元化的發展。他以何乃健為例,雖然農業屬冷門科系,但何乃健卻是目前國際著名的水稻專家,發表逾百篇有關水稻的論文。

文献中的几道问题最令我感兴趣:-

How do we ensure that society appreciates the full importance of plants?

How can we attract the best young minds to plant science so that they can address Grand Challenges facing humanity such as climate change, food security, and fossil fuel replacement?

How can we translate our knowledge of plant science into food security?
Which plants have the greatest potential for use as biofuels with the least effects on biodiversity, carbon footprints and food security?

How can we use plant science to prevent mal-nutrition?

How can we use knowledge of plants and their properties to improve human health?

How can we translate our knowledge of plant science into food security?

What are the best ways to control invasive species including plants, pests and pathogens?

Can we increase crop productivity without harm-ing biodiversity?
