Main work

Research interests were mainly focused on clone selection, tissue culture, regeneration and genetic transformation of tropical tree crops and forty-four projects were conducted which were supported by central or provincial governments or companies. One hundred and sixty-nine papers were published in journals and four books were published as co-editor, namely <Research on Rattans in China>，<Rattan Resources of China and Current Status of Conservation>, <Bamboo and Rattan in the World>, <Improvement and efficient cultivation of main tropical and subtropical trees in China>. Four forestry standards were compiled on tissue culture of Eucalyptus and rattans and cultivation of Acacia melanoxylon. Nineteen patents were obtained on tissue culture, regeneration and transformation of Tectona grandis, Acacia melanoxylon, Dalbergia odorifera, Santalum album, Michelia macclurei, Aquilaria sinensis, Aquilaria crassna, Falcataria moluccana, Calamus simplicifolius, Calamus egregius and Daemonorops margaritae. Two new varieties of Eucalyptus grandis and nine new varieties of Acacia melanoxylon were selected and were widely planted in Fujiang, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan provinces with a total area of sixteen thousand hectares.
