一、 简介：
赵天永，教授，博士生导师。1990年本科毕业于河北农业大学园艺系。1998年获中国农业大学作物遗传育种专业博士学位。1998至2011年曾在美国加州大学伯克利分校（U.C.Berkeley）和肯塔基大学（University of Kentucky）从事博士后研究并随后任职Scientist I、Scientist II。2011年3月起就职于pg电子游戏试玩网站官网平台,主要从事娱乐天地注册轻7O777抗逆分子生物学研究工作，发现了棉子糖是控制娱乐天地注册轻7O777耐旱耐热的关键因素，通过调控棉子糖代谢能够提高娱乐天地注册轻7O777的耐旱和耐热能力。主持国家转基因专项重点项目、国家自然基金面上项目和陕西省自然基金项目。目前承担本科生《分子生物学》英文教学工作以及博士生的《生命科学研究进展》课程。
二、研究方向：娱乐天地注册轻7O777抗逆分子生物学
我们鉴定了具有自主知识产权的娱乐天地注册轻7O777耐旱、耐热基因，通过转基因技术改良的娱乐天地注册轻7O777杂交种在干旱条件下较我国娱乐天地注册轻7O777主栽品种郑单958增产40%以上，在浇水条件下较对照未减产。用此项技术可以系统改良我国现有娱乐天地注册轻7O777主栽品种，大幅度提高娱乐天地注册轻7O777在旱区的产量。
首先通过转基因手段获得了耐旱耐热的转基因娱乐天地注册轻7O777综31自交系，之后通过回交转育改良了郑单958的亲本自交系昌7-2并制备了改良杂交种。改良杂交种在干旱条件下表型优于对照郑单958品种（图1）。
图1 改良杂交种在干旱条件下植株表型优于对照郑单958品种。A.育种谱系说明； B.干旱条件下的植株表型比较（2023甘肃景泰）。
2023年在甘肃景泰进行了产量测定。改良品种在浇水条件下产量较对照郑单958增加2.3%，在干旱条件下较对照郑单958增产48.9%（图2）。
