Research
Working on a systematic breeding program on zinnia. My research include:1) Pollination mechanism determination of 18 cultivars of zinnia. 2) DNA content detection with flowcytometry. 3)Polyploid induction in two zinnia species 4) Differences of the economic productivity, disease resistance, flower quality between direct seeded vs. transplant zinnia and between one season species vs. rotated species
