Team interests are focusing on crop physiology in abiotic stresses, grain yield and quality improvement, especially in crops of wheat. With agronomy, physiology and molecular biology approaches, we are investigating the response of crop to several stresses, such as water deficit and waterlogging, high temperature, low irradiation, salinity, Cd toxicity, grain yield and quality responses to the environment (soil nutrients, climatic variables) and management (nitrogen applications, tillage, rotation etc.). Our aims are to develop yield-oriented management practices for high-quality and high-efficiency of resource use in wheat, barley and rice, to ensure the food security and environment friendship challenged by the global warming and the increasing population of human being.
Recently, our research fields focus on responses of growth, grain yield and quality to temperature increase and extreme events as a consequence of global climate change in wheat. We have published more than 300 journal papers.
