Degree: Ph.D.
Title: Associate Professor
Graduation school: University of Turin, Italy

Office: 523, North Building

His research interests focus on soil microecology associated with peach replant problem and soil microbes (microbiome) on peach growth and resilience; plant-pathogen interaction, identification of resistant genes, metabolites and fungal effectors in gummosis; molecular physiology of abiotic stress, nutritional imbalance, autotoxicity (allelopathy) and water stress. He hosts grants from the National Natural Science Foundation, the National Key R&D Program, and participates in the Agriculture (Peach) Research System. He has published more than 20 scientific publications in Journal of Experimental Botany, Horticulture Research, Environmental and Experimental Botany, Frontiers in Microbiology, Chemosphere, and Acta Horticulturae Sinica, and authorized 2 invention patents.
