General

My lab focuses on crops genetics and breeding using wheat and barley as targets. In recent years, we are interested in dissection of genetic and molecular basis underlying yield components, inflorescence and shoot architectures, as well as biotic or abiotic stress through forward or reverse genetic strategies. Additoanlly, we are skilled in wheat breeding. Three new wheat varieties were released within 5 years.

   We have developed abundant genetic resources, including a series  of DH and RIL populations, more than three thousands wheat and barley lines, as well as EMS mutant populations. We are also well equiped with experimental and infomatic facilitates. Welcome to join us.
