主要研究领域

草莓是世界上最重要的小浆果之一，是现代“都市农业”的典型代表。其中我国的草莓种植面积（268万亩）和产量（500万吨）都居世界首位。草莓具有果实结构独特（假果）、生长周期相对较短(4-6月)、多年生、可以无性繁殖(匍匐茎)等特点，特别是近年来随着二倍体森林草莓基因组注释的完善、转基因体系的建立和CRISPR/Cas9技术的开发，二倍体森林草莓逐渐发展成为研究非呼吸跃变型果实发育、匍匐茎发育的一种模式物种。悬钩子属（Rubus）树莓具有丰富的种质资源且多为二倍体，基因组小（300Mb)，其果实富含SOD、鞣花酸和各种维生素，具有抗氧化、抗衰老、抗癌症、预防心血管疾病等生理活性，但是在我国的普及程度仍旧十分落后。课题组以森林草莓、栽培草莓和树莓为主要研究对象，当前主要研究工作：(1). 草莓肉质果发育起始及蔷薇科果实作物肉质果发育多样性的遗传机制；(2). 草莓树莓果实品质调控的分子机制，高品质果实新种质的创制；(3). 草莓主要真菌病害（灰霉病、白粉病）的致病机理及分子抗病育种策略的开发；(4). 树莓发育过程中各种特征性状（刺、果核等）发育的分子机制解析，助推我国树莓的种质创新和产业发展；(5). 园艺作物基因编辑体系的优化及应用；以基因编辑为基础的草莓树莓分子设计育种策略开发。
