·        Developed populations for genetic mapping of the wheat powdery mildew resistance genes

·        Constructed and screened a cDNA library challenged with wheat powdery mildew pathogens

·        Isolated three full-length cDNA clones (TaMla-1, TaMla-2 and TaMla-3) encoded Mla-like proteins from a powdery mildew resistance line of wheat

·        Mapped the three genes to Chromosomes 1AL and 1BL and analyzed expression patterns of these genes.

Ph.D Research,1995-2000

·        Mapped dwarf gene Rht3 to the short arm of homologous group 4 (4A, 4B) in wheat with RFLP markers by southern bloting.

·        Identified 16 wheat-Roegneria. kamogi (a relative species with wheat, resistant disease of Fusarium graminea) alien chromosomal addition, substitution and translocation lines by RFLP markers.

Associate Professor, 1999-2000

Biotechnology Research Center, Anhui Agricultural University, Hefei, China

Studied on molecular biology,

·        Served as a principal investigator for two granted research programs from 1997 through 2000: ‘Molecular genetics and breeding of pre-harvest sprouting resistance in wheat’ and ‘Molecular markers and mapping of dwarf genes in wheat’

·        Taught two undergraduate courses: Molecular Biology and Cytoengineering
