Song Chunpeng, male, is a doctor, professor, doctoral supervisor. He received his Master of Science from Peking University in 1990 and his Doctor of Science from China Agricultural University in 1997.He was a visiting scholar at Lancaster University in the UK from 1994 to 1995 and a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Arizona from 1999 to 2003. He was awarded the Second prize of National Natural Science and the Outstanding Contribution Award of Henan Province. He was also Vice Director of Chinese Academic Society of Plant Physiology and Molecular Biology, as well as Chinese Academic Society of Cell Biology and Chairman of Plant Cell Biology Academic Committee of Chinese Botanical Academic Society. He also won the title of Zhongyuan Scholar in Henan Province and Outstanding Professional Technology Talents of China, second National Natural Science Prize, Prize for Science and Technology Outstanding Contribution of Henan Province. He is now the Deputy Director of the State Key Laboratory of Cotton Biology and the Director of key Laboratory of Plant Stress Biology, which is cocreated by the department and province.
Professor Song chunpeng has long been engaged in researches on stomatal regulation of plant water use and enhancement of plant drought resistance. He first found that active oxygen hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as signaling molecules for plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) to induce stomatal closure, which systematically revealed the signal transduction pathway of reactive oxygen species production, sensation and action in guard cells and the molecular mechanism of regulating gene expression. It also formed a unique system of research methods and sketched a new model of the stomatal regulation of water use efficiency, creatively explored the molecular mechanism of plant response to drought stress stomatal regulation. So far, Professor Song has published 94 academic papers and 5 monographs. Eight major papers have been cited for 1059 times by international authoritative journals such as Nat Rev Mol Cell Bio, Science's STKE, Annu Rev Plant Biol, Genes Dev, Plant Cell, EMBO J, etc. Plant Physiology (2001, 126:1438-1448), the representative work , as a single SCI paper, has been cited for 294 times, which has become a classic paper in this field. By searching ESI and SCIE databases, 5 representative papers  ranks top 1.00% cited papers in ESI (field of plant and animal sciences) according to their citation frequency. The total number of citations of his work in the ESI database is 509 over the last 10 years. Additionally, his papers in the SCIE database have a total of 544 citations, including 496 citations from 58 countries and 524 institutions, including China, the US, Japan, France, Germany and the UK.
