为什么中国“辣椒院士”跑到乌兹别克斯坦种辣椒？

Across more than 660 hectares in Uzbekistan’s Andijan Region, fields of Chinese peppers are turning red.

在乌兹别克斯坦安集延州，超过660公顷的中国辣椒正陆续成熟。

Led by Zou Xuexiao, a team from Hunan Agricultural University in Changsha, China, is introducing heat-tolerant, machine-harvestable varieties and standardized growing methods. A joint Central Asia research lab is also planned, combining local climate advantages with Chinese breeding expertise to grow the region’s pepper industry.

来自中国长沙湖南农业大学的中国工程院院士邹学校带领团队，将耐高温、适合机械采收的辣椒品种和标准化种植技术带到当地。下一步，双方还计划共建中亚科技合作实验室，让当地的气候优势与中国育种技术结合，推动中亚辣椒产业发展。
