Resume:
Professor Deng-Cai Liu received his bachelor, master and doctor degree of agronomy from Sichuan Agricultural University in 1992, 1995, and 1998. From Oct. 2002 to Sep. 2003, he was a visiting scholor of South Dakota State University in USA. Since 1995, he has been working in wheat genetics, breeding, and germplasm in Triticeae Research Institute of Sichuan Agricultural University. He obtained awards, including Second-class Prize of Natural Science Award by the central people's government of the People's Republic of China in 2000, and First-class Prize of Sci-tech Advance Award by the People's Government of Sichuan province of China in 1999 and 2006. More than 200 papers have been published. Nine new common wheat cultivars have been released and used in the wheat production.
Research Interests:
1. Wide hybridization and allopolyplodization between wheat and other species and its utilization on genetics and breeding of wheat.
(1) the genetic bases on the production, homoelogous chromosome pairing, the formation of unreduced gametes in wheat-alien hybrids;
(2) the variation induced in the wheat-alien hybrids and its molecular mechanism;
(3) its utilization in new genotype developing.
2. Developing new cultivars with high yield, good quality, and resistance to diseases.
