research groups

In recent years, following the international research development in the field and national needs, the center has continuously adjusted its research directions, improved the construction of the herbarium and the laboratory, obtained voluminous research results, and trained over two hundreds doctoral and master students. It has become a national base for systematic and evolutionary research and education, and an internationally known laboratory in the field.

Currently 11 research groups have been designated in the center:

1. Vegetation succession and environmental changes (PI, Chengsen Li)

2. Seed plant taxonomy (PI, Dezhi Fu)

3. Phylogenetic reconstruction of seed plants (PI, Zhiduan Chen)

4. Plant molecular systematics, evolution and biogeography (PI, Xiaoquan Wang)

5. Population biology and evolutionary biology (PI, Song Ge)

6. Gene, chromosome and genome evolution (PI, Daming Zhang)

7. Evolutionary and ecological genomics (PI, Yingqing Lu)

8. Plant systematics and evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) (PI, Yinzheng Wang )

9. Functional evo-devo (PI, Chaoying He)

10. Origin and Evolution of Land Plants (PI, Qi Wang)

11.  Evolutionary Developmental Genetics and Regulatory Genomics (PI, Hongzhi Kong)
