主要研究领域：

       草莓经济价值和营养价值极高，是世界上最重要的小浆果之一。我国的草莓种植面积和产量长期居世界首位，总产值超过1000亿元。其中，森林草莓(Fragaria vesca)以其较短的生长周期(4-6月)，高质量的T2T基因组(2n=14)注释信息、成熟的转基因体系和基因编辑体系，逐渐发展成为研究果实发育、成熟与品质调控，植物-微生物互作的模式物种。悬钩子属（Rubus）树莓具有丰富的野生种质资源且多为二倍体，基因组较小（300Mb），其果实富含SOD、鞣花酸、树莓酮和各种维生素，具有抗氧化、抗衰老、抗炎症、预防心血管疾病和美白皮肤等生理活性。课题组以森林草莓（2n）、栽培草莓（8n）和树莓（2n）为主要研究对象，结合时空组学、分子生物学、细胞生物学和分子遗传学技术探究：(1).草莓肉质果发育起始及蔷薇科果实作物肉质果发育多样性的遗传机制；(2). 草莓树莓果实品质调控的分子机制；(3).草莓与主要真菌（灰霉菌、白粉菌、AM菌根）和非生物胁迫之间的互作机制；(4).Rubus资源收集及其各种发育特征性状的遗传机制解析；(5).园艺作物基因编辑体系（CRISPR/Cas, Base editor, Prime editor）的优化及应用；以基因编辑为基础的草莓树莓分子设计育种策略开发。

      欢迎对课题组研究感兴趣的学生、青年学者加盟，共同发展！
