Research Interests
Dr. Jiang worked in NAU as a crop physiologist and agronomist, and was in charge of the construtction of the National Plant Phenotyping Facility of China. Current research interests include (1) the physiological mechanism and regulatory approaches targeting simultaneous high-yield and super-quality in wheat, which focuses on the morphology of the quality function units, especially for starch granules and glutenin macropolymers, and the spatial distribution regularities of protein and starch in wheat endosperm. (2) the physiological mechanisms on abiotic stress tolerance in wheat and the mitigation approaches, which focuses on the alleviation effect of priming on tolerance to abiotic stresses occur during critical growth stages in wheat. (3) using phenomics to screen wheat genotype in response to different types of abiotic stresses, such as drought stress, waterlogging stress, nitrogen responses, etc.
He was awarded the excellent Young Scholar of National Science Foundation of China.
He is also the wheat scientist of the China agriculture research system (CARS).
He has published over 80 papers as first or corresponding author in SCI journal, in addition spreads his technical achievement in use.
