Our Focus

The role of food security as a lynchpin for worldwide economic progression and societal stability cannot be overstated. Key to this endeavor is the demystification of genetic intricacies in essential crops and the enhancement of molecular design breeding capabilities. A currently limited understanding of the formation and evolutionary mechanisms of exceptional agronomic traits, and the molecular regulatory networks of these traits, presents a barrier to the advancement of crop breeding initiatives. To overcome these challenges, our focus at the XT Lab is set on three primary research directions.

Agronomic Traits

The Genetic and Evolutionary Mechanisms of Soybean Agronomic Traits: We concentrate our efforts on a deep comprehension of the agronomic traits of soybeans and their genetic and evolutionary mechanisms. Our objective is to catalyze more efficient and effective soybean enhancement and breeding through intensive research and exploration.

Epigenetic

The Epigenetic Regulatory Mechanisms of Crucial Soybean Agronomic Traits: Our research involves rigorous studies into the epigenetic regulatory mechanisms influencing key agronomic traits in soybeans. Through this research, we aim to unearth the key processes driving the formation and development of these traits, potentially leading to the creation of novel and more precise breeding strategies.
