1) Drawing genome maps of major agricultural pests: Combining PacBio, Nanopore, Hi-C and other technologies to complete high-quality genome maps of fall armyworm and other pests, we revealed that the fall armyworm invaded in China is dominated by the "corn type" and the population resistance characteristics were clarified. The results have been published in MER, BMC biology, etc..
2) Pesticides and Bt resistance mechanisms: We first demonstrated that the resistance mechanism mediated by multiple types of gene mutations in Cad, ABCC2, ABCC3, ABCB6, etc., and successfully elucidated new mechanisms of resistance and cross resistance of pests to Bt, pesticides, and gossypol. The work have been published in top entomological journals such as Ecology letters, eLife, Plos pathogens, AEM, IBMB, PMS, etc..
3) The adaptive evolution mechanisms of major agricultural pests: By combining genomics, population genetics, and other technologies, the environmental adaptive evolution mechanism of major agricultural pests such as cotton bollworm and Asian corn borer has been revealed. The results have been published in journals such as The Innovation, Molecular Biology and Evolution, etc.
