Prof. Zhiyong Liu  Principal Investigator, Ph.D.

Research interests:
My lab is doing wheat genetics & genomics research focused on identification, mapping and map-based cloning of important genes for disease resistance (powdery mildew, stripe rust, leaf rust, spot blotch, etc.) and agronomic traits (yield, plant architecture, etc.). We are trying to use the genes identified for developing wheat breeder friendly germplasms and wide adapted high-yielding new cultivars. We are also working on Brachypodium for host-microbe interaction research and comparative genomics analysis.
