Hongxuan Lin's group is interested in genetic analysis and functional characterization of genes (or QTLs) underlying important agronomic traits such as yield and abiotic stress tolerance in rice by using the rice genetic material, molecular markers from the high-density genetic linkage map, and the genome sequence data. The main aim of his study is to understand the molecular genetic mechanisms controlling important agronomic traits in crops, and to provide valuable genetic information for molecular breeding of crops
