According to the principle “Obtaining more output of yield with less input of natural resources and promoting the protection of environment and sustainable development of agriculture” proposed by Academician Zhensheng Li, the main researches of PCCE laboratory are focused on the following five fields:

1.Genetic basis and molecular mechanisms in processing quality of wheat grains

2.Molecular mechanisms of mineral nutrient efficiency in plants

3.Plant architecture and effective distribution of photosynthetic products

4.Resistance and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses

5.Creating novel germplasms via chromosome engineering and breeding new varieties by molecular design
