He is mainly engaged in the research of rape disease resistance breeding and the genetic and molecular mechanisms of resistance to sclerotinia, clubroot and viral diseases. He has published more than 30 research papers in The Plant Cell, Plant Physiology and other publications, and applied for 4 national invention patents. He participated in the examination and approval (registration) of more than 10 varieties of rapeseed varieties such as Ningza 1818, Ningza 27, Ningyou 20 and Ningyou 22 One. He won the second prize of Hunan Province Natural Science once.
