TEACHING AREA

Crop Science

RESEARCH INTEREST:

Sugarcane physiological genetic and molecular breeding; Plant pathology

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT

ZHANG focuses on (1)Sugarcane Genetic Improvement through Breeding and Biotechnology:15 promising sugarcane varieties were bred and registered for different production areas and multi-line layouts. Over 2000 germplasm were introduced and created for essential trait genes such as stress resistance and high sugar. (2)Decipher essential sugarcane traits for genomic selection: The pathogens associated with major sugarcane disease were identified, including smut, pokkah boeng, mosaic and leaf scald. Through multi omics joint analysis, we revealed the pathogenicity and sugarcane resistance.(3)Plant pathology research.Significant progress has been made in the prevention and control of citrus huanglongbing disease: We decipher the pathogen genomics and microbiome associated with citrus HLB. A nano transdermal drug delivery method was established.
