Description
The major interests are focusing on identification of new genetic resources for drought and flooding tolerance to improve soybean sustainable production. The specific interests:
- 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.
