EMPLOYMENT HISTORY

2008 Assitant Professor, Triticeae Research Institute, Sichuan Agricultural University

Research Interests：

Main research field is: Wheat genetics and breeding, cytogenetics and molecular genetics of Triticeae
1) The production of addition, substitution and translocation lines possessing agronomically useful genes introgressed from wild related species. Cytogenetic and molecular genetic studies of introgression lines between wheat and related species and their use in the improvement of the qualities of Chinese wheats.
2) Plant breeding is progressed to develop new variety based on understanding the gene function and how the genes control the traits and use the molecular markers to assist the selection. The group focused on developing the molecular markers of important traits including dwarfing and stripe rust resistant traits, developing the new variety by pyramiding the important genes.
