Chen Huilan

Dr. Huilan Chen’s expertise is specializing in the research methods and technologies in molecular biology of plant disease resistance, plant breeding and genetic improvement, and the mechanism of interaction between plant and bacteria. Huilan Participated in the breeding of 3 new varieties of sweet potato, and won the second prize and the third prize of Science and Technology Progress Award of Hubei Provincial Government. After joining the potato research team in the Vegetable Sciences Department in September 2012, she developed one new potato variety as a main breeder and participated in the breeding of 8 new potato varieties. A total of 25 research articles were published in Chinese or English, including 17 of which were published as the first author or the corresponding author. Currently, her main research interests are potato bacterial wilt resistance and interaction mechanisms between host potato and the pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum.
