Research
(1) Screening for thrips resistance in Gossypium hirsutum germplasm and mapping the genomic regions conferring thrips resistance using back cross generations. (2) Study the genetic architecture of photoperiodism in cotton and characterize the genomic regions and/or genes controlling photoperiodism in diverse association panels using genotyping by sequencing.
