Research Summary
The major interests are focusing on identification of new genetic resources for drought and flooding tolerance to improve soybean sustainable production. The specific interests include: Characterize exotic and wild germplasm for abiotic stress tolerance; Genetic analysis in bi-parental populations and diverse lines for QTL mapping; Map-base gene cloning for the major QTLs; Functional characterization of the candidate genes; Incorporation of genes from exotic source into elite lines.
