科研方向
大豆是我国战略性经济作物，进口依存度达到85%以上，大豆产业安全面临危机，因此，发掘大豆株型和耐盐碱关键基因，解析其作用机制，培育高产/耐盐碱大豆新品种刻不容缓。课题组长期围绕大豆产量及耐逆性状形成的分子机理及种质创新开展研究，创建了用于大规模基因发掘的大豆突变体库，基于图位克隆及BSA seq技术发掘出多个调控株型及耐盐碱关键基因；构建了基于全基因组关联分析（GWAS）大规模发掘功能基因的平台：完成了591种大豆/野大豆全基因组重测序，鉴定了1000多个大豆及野大豆种质田间产量性状及耐盐表型组数据，基于GWAS筛选出一批调控株型及耐盐碱候选基因；创建了大豆功能基因作用机制研究平台：系列报道多个大豆株型及耐逆基因功能及其调控机制（Nature Communications、Plant Cell、Plant physiology等）；建立了高效的大豆基因转化和基因编辑技术系统，为分子育种奠定基础。在此基础之上，研究方向主要包括：
1、大豆耐盐碱关键基因发掘及其作用机制
耐盐碱是实现大豆种植面积扩大的有效途径，利用大豆自然群体和突变体，分离调控耐盐碱主效基因、阐明其分子机制和调控网络，鉴定耐盐碱基因的优异等位变异，为大豆耐盐分子设计育种提供分子标记和编辑靶点，创制高产、耐盐碱大豆新种质。
2、大豆株型性状形成的分子机理
密植是实现大豆高产的关键途径，聚焦调控耐密植（分枝、株高、抗倒伏）主效基因及其优异等位基因的分离，阐明其分子调控网络，创制高产、耐密植大豆新种质。
