1986-1988, studied plant gene engineering at New Jersey Interferon Sciences Corporation as a visiting scholar. 1900-1992, supported by the Rockefellor Foundation of America, studied the mitochondrial genome of rice in Stanford University in California. 1993-1995, supported by the Rockefellor Foundation of America, participated in the cooperative research on rice genome at Texas A&M University. 1988-2003, Secretary-General of The Genetics Society of Shanghai, Council Member of The Genetics Society of China. 2003-2005, Adjunct Professor at College of Life Sciences, Wuhan University. Undertaking several research projects such as 863 Program, 973 Program, National Science and Technology Major Projcet of Genetically modified.

Chief editor of "Genetics: Branch of Biology", Encyclopedia of China, 2nd edition. Author of Genomics (1st edition in 2002, 2nd edition in 2007, 3rd ediiton in 2013), National Textbook of Regular Higher Education for the Eleventh Five-Year Plan. 2012, cooperative cultivation of "the Big One" phenotype of cotton with Institute of Cotton Research of CAAS, which was selected into Shanghai Top Ten Major Scientific and Technological Achievements of the year.

 

Research Interests

The long-term research focuses on plant genetics and plant gene engineering. The main interests are the molecular biology fundamental to rice heterosis and yield gene engineering, specifically including construction of near-isogenic lines by rice heterosis, isolation and cloning of yield associated genes, studies on gene regulation of cell size, regulatory mechanism of programmed death in plants, molecular function of long non-coding RNAs in rice.
