1.植物雌配子体发育
植物生殖生物学是一门传统学科，传统的研究主要集中于对生殖过程的结构,形态和组织胚胎学描述，由于方法和技术方面的局限,对其分子及遗传机理的研究进展非常缓慢。近年来由于Gene Trap和 Enhancer Trap等插入突变系统的建立和激光共聚焦显微技术的应用。植物生殖生物学的研究逐渐成为研究热点。本研究组研究的领域主要集中在植物雌配子体的发育方面,如孢原细胞和胚囊中卵细胞，中央细胞的命运决定机理等.通过对配子体突变体的遗传分析和基因克隆，了解植物生殖过程中的基因调控及分子机理。对一些基本的生物学现象，如细胞极性、细胞命运的确立及受精机理等进行更深入的研究，了解植物的生殖过程。2004年获得基金委“杰出青年基金”资助。
2.线粒体和质体生物发生与细胞质遗传
线粒体和质体与其它细胞器不同， 它们具有自己的遗传物质，同时它们又在很大程度上依赖核基因组。并具有母体遗传的特征，与雄性不育密切相关。本研究组主要研究以下三方面的内容：
1）细胞中核基因组、线粒体基因组和质体基因组之间的相互作用；
2）质体和叶绿体生物发生的分子遗传调控；
3）细胞质遗传与雄性不育。
3.植物生物技术
利用模式植物功能基因组学的知识和功能基因, 进行棉花、油菜和水稻等农作物的生物技术改良。
