Introduction:

I am working on the response and adaptation of crops to environment changes with the financial supports from National Natural Science Foundation of China, my main research interests are:

1. Adaptation of plants to adverse soil conditions

2. Biofortification of staple food crops

3. The impact of global climate change on crop production
