Research Interests：

1. Plant systematics and evolution
   Rapid development in plant systematics and evolution has dramatically reshaped our views of organismal relationships and evolution. We utilize different approaches (including morphology, cytogenetics and molecular data) to study the phylogeny of a few of plant groups such as Hystrix, Leymus, Elymus, Kengyilia and Pseudoroegneria in Triticeae. We are also interested in investigating the origin and evolutionary history of Hystrix, Leymus and their related genera.
2. Estimate and utility of plant genetic resources.
   The genetic resources or genetic diversity within a species not only provides the raw material for the future phylogenetic relationship and evolution of that species but also a genetic pool of hereditary material that can be used in various ways. We utilize different approaches (including morphology, cytogenetics and artificial hybridization) to creat new material for the utility of plant breeding. Estimate and utility of plant genetic resources in our group are focused on Triticeae, Iris, Lilium and Hemerocallis.
3. Wheat Genetics and Breeding
   With the use of current biotechnology coupled with traditional approaches, the laboratory is mainly interested in chromosomal location and molecular marker of some agronomic traits. At the same time, we focus on wheat breeding to improve the yield, quality and resistance of wheat.
