selected restorers) and the key points in the selection of
dominant combinations.
1990-1995
National project "Development of New Barley Male-sterile Lines".

1994-1996
National project "Studies of mtDNA in maize CMS"
1991-1993
Provincial project "Gene Location of the Many-nodes and Dwarfism in Mutant
76-2104"
Testified that the many-nodes and Dwarfism are controlled by two linked
genes not pleiotropism as reported.
1990-1995
National project "Development of Feed Barley Varieties".
1990-1995
Provincial project "Developing New Barley Varieties"
Developed a new feeding barley variety with early maturity, high protein
and lysine content, semi-dwarf and BYMV-resistance.
Developed a new malting barley variety with high yield and high malting
quality.
1990-1992
Provincial project "Popularization of High Quality Malting Barley and the
Study of Suitable Cultivation Practices"
Popularized a new high quality variety introduced from Japan and several
local malting barley varieties.
Studied the most suitable cultivation practices for high malting quality.
1989-1991
Provincial project "The Screening and Genetic Studies of Barley Germplasm
Resources"
Determined 16 yield component and quality traits of more than 800 accessions.
Studied the heredity and combining ability of protein content in barley
grain.
Studied the heredity and combining ability of BYMV-resistance.
