近年来主要从事大豆的重要产量性状形成的遗传、发育、和演化规律等研究工作，具体包括叶腋分生组织命运决定、分枝和花序结构塑形、心皮发育进化、以及环境适应等。以（共同）第一作者或通讯作者身份在PNAS (2篇), Trends in Plant Science, New Phytologist (3篇), Plant Physiology等杂志发表研究和综述论文11篇。担任遗传学杂志Journal of Genetics and Genomics青年编委，植物学期刊Annals of Botany副主编。获得2021年国家自然科学基金优秀青年科学基金项目（海外）。
研究领域：
本课题组主要研究解析大豆重要性状形成的分子机理和进化机制。目前整合时空转录组等多组学数据和基因编辑技术，主要开展如下工作：1）解析大豆叶腋分生组织细胞的命运决定和分化即大豆理想株型塑造的分子机理；2）揭示大豆花序形态建成的分子机理和遗传调控网络；尤其是酰基化和去酰基化等表观遗传调控在高产多花多荚大豆性状形成中的分子机理解析；3）阐明大豆花荚发育的生物学基础和分子机理；4）基于比较和功能基因组学探究豆科植物心皮多样化的分子遗传进化机制。
Our group are interested in the genetic dissection of key agronomic and novel traits in legumes, soybean in particular. Currently, we use soybean and other legumes as the study system to 1) understand the fate determination and differentiation of axillary meristems that shape the unique plant architecture of soybean in which branches/inflorescences are formed in each node; 2) elucidate molecular mechanisms and genetic regulatory network on the regulation of inflorescence morphogenesis; we are particularly interested in how acetylation and deacetylation, among other epigenetic regulation, determine the multi-florus and multi-podded high-yielding traits in soybean; 3) reveal the fundamental biological basis underlying source-sink balance that controls legume grain filling, and thereby reproductive success; 4) study evolutionary developmental mechanisms on the phenotypical diversification of carpels and pods in legumes using comparative and multi-omics tools.
