Prof. Zanmin Hu   Principal Investigator, Ph.D.

Research interests: The research field of this laboratory is plant biotechnology. We are interested in the cloning of important genes, the establishment of new plant expression system, the research of genetic transformation methods，expression situation of foreign genes inserted in plant genome and the improvement of important economic crops by genetic engineering and cell engineering. We will provide some theoretical basis and new technologies for the development of plant genetic engineering and obtain new important economic crop varieties.
