  Research Focus

  I mainly focus on the plant diseases control caused by pathogenic fungi and bacteria. I have been working on biology and pathogenesis of pathogen, on the molecular mechanism of pathogen-host interactions, and the biological control for wheat and fruit trees.

  Selected Research Projects

  1. National Natural Science Foundation of China-The mechanism of effector VmE02 inducing plant cell seath during Valsa mali - apple interaction (31671982), 2017.01-2020.12, ? 600,000.

  2. The national basic research program of China (973 program)-Biology of virulence variation in important fungal pathogens of wheat. (2013CB127700), 2013.01-2017.08, ? 32,000,000.

  3. National Natural Science Foundation of China-Mechanisms of suppressing plant immunity by an effector protein VmEP1 secreted by apple pathogenic fungus Valsa mali. (31471732), 2015.01-2018.12, ? 850,000.

  4. National Natural Science Foundation of China-Gene expression and pathogenesis during the infection progress of apple pathogenic fungus Valsa mali. (31171796), 2012.01-2015.12, ? 640,000.

  5. Special Fund for Agro-scientific Research in the Public Interest-Research and demonstration for prevention and disease control of apple tree valsa canker. (201203034), 2012.01-2016.12, ? 2,470,000.
