Discovered on 28 September 1995 by Beijing Schmidt CCD Asteroid Program at Xinglong.
Li Zhensheng (b. 1931) initiated wide-hybridization between common wheat and Thinopyrum ponticum and was also the originator of wheat-chromosome engineering in China. Several cultivars bred from the offspring of his distant hybridization have significantly improved wheat productivity in China.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 3, #12, 8), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
