Research Interesting

Using bioinformatics method and multi-omics data in large-scale to discover the important agronomy traits, including crop product, drought resistance and disease resistance et al. And we also interesting in crop domestication and evolution in polyploid crops, especial oil crop, such as peanut, rape seed, and cotton et al.
