Experience
Work Experience
• Sept 2007– current, Professor
Wuhan Botanical Garden/Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences; and Affiliate, Department of Soil and Crop Sciences, Colorado State University. My current research focuses on germplasm collection and enhancement of bioenergy plants (Miscanthus and tung tree, Vernicia fordii), gene discovery in wheat [resistance against rust diseases, tolerance to drought and salt, resistance to wheat aphids, high grain protein content, etc.], crop comparative genomics, plant evolution and crop domestication genomics. I have collected about 1,000 accessions of Miscanthus sinensis, over 400 accessions of tung tree and nearly 700 accessions of wild emmer wheat germplasm. Several papers on energy plants and resistance gene evolution have been published in the prestigious international journals, such as Biomass & Bioenergy, Molecular Biology and Evolution, Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, and so on.
• Oct 2005 – Sept 2007, Assistant Professor
Department of Soil and Crop Sciences, Colorado State University. My research focused on marker-assisted breeding of wheat [resistance against stripe rust, barley yellow dwarf virus, wheat streak mosaic virus, and Russian wheat aphid (RWA); and high grain protein content], molecular mapping and functional assay of RWA resistance genes in cereal crops (wheat, barley, rye, rice), molecular mapping of wheat stripe rust resistance, grain quality and drought tolerance, wheat genome evolution and cereal domestication genomics.
• August 2000 – Sept 2005: Postdoctoral Research Associate
In charge of two projects, NSF funded “The Structure and Function of the Expressed Portion of the Wheat Genome” and USDA funded “Bringing Genomics to the Wheat Fields-Marker-assisted Selection in Wheat” at the Department of Soil and Crop Sciences, Colorado State University. Since 2000, I have mapped ~1000 ESTs to wheat chromosomes, and published more than 20 papers as the first author or a co-author.
• April 1996 – July 2000, Ph.D. student
Plant Molecular Genetics/genomics (Ph.D. dissertation title — GENOMICS OF WILD EMMER WHEAT, Triticum dicoccoides: GENETIC MAPS, MAPPING OF STRIPE RUST RESISTANCE GENES AND QTLS FOR AGRONOMIC TRAITS), Institute of Evolution, University of Haifa, Israel. In my Ph.D. study, I constructed the first molecular genetic map of wild emmer wheat (T. dicoccoides), discovered quasi-linkage and negative crossover interference on the molecular level in wheat genomes (Theor. Appl. Genet. (98): 862-872, 1999; Genome Research 10: 1509-1531, 2000); initiated mapping the domestication QTLs and domestication syndrome factors to specific genome regions of wheat [The Proceedings of National Academy of Science USA (PNAS), 100: 2489-2494, 2003]; mapped the novel stripe rust resistance genes (YrH52 and Yr15) using molecular markers as one of the first group of scientists of the world (Theor. Appl. Genet. 98: 862-872, 1999; Genetica 109: 199-210, 2000); and evaluated marker-assisted breeding in wheat (New Phytologist 146: 141-154, 2000).

I also led and conducted another special project, entitled “Application of Incomplete Diallel Cross Method in the Cooperative Breeding of Hybrid Rice”, which resulted in development of many new hybrid rice cultivars with high yield, good grain quality and strong resistance to rice blast; as well as three scientific papers. I developed some valuable CMS lines and restorer lines which have been certified by the Provincial Government and breeding materials at this period. The project, “Breeding of New CMS Line Zaoxian A with Incomplete Dominance of Early Maturity in Hybrid Rice”, passed the proof (test) of the Sichuan Provincial Government in 1993 and was conferred the First-place Award of Promotion in Science & Technology by Sichuan Academy of Agricultural Sciences (SAAS) in 1994.
