Overview of Teaching and Research

Zhang Xiaojun has been engaged in crop germplasm resource innovation, gene discovery and molecular breeding for a long time. More than 1000 wheat germplasm resources resistant to powdery mildew, stripe rust, leaf rust and Fusarium Head Blight were developed by introducing several resistance genes of Thinopyrum into wheat. Among them, powdery mildew resistance genes Pm43 and Pm51 and stripe rust resistance genes Yr50 and Yr69 have been officially named by the International Committee on Gene Nominating, and have been applied by wheat breeding research teams of 37 breeding teams in 11 provinces or cities in China. He has presided over 7 projects including Natural Science Foundation of Shanxi Province, Key Research and Development projects of Shanxi Province, international cooperation projects and key research projects of Shanxi Province. He presided over 5 projects of school and college. He has participated in more than 20 national key research and development projects and National Natural Science Foundation projects. He has published more than 30 papers in international and national academic journals, 5 of which have been included by SCI. He has won 1 first prize of natural science of Shanxi Province and 1 second prize of rural technical contracting of Shanxi Province. One new wheat variety has been examined and approved, and 4 national invention patents have been obtained.
