More than 50 research papers. He has presided over or participated in many scientific research projects. He has won 2 third-class scientific and technological progress awards from the Zhejiang Provincial People's Government as the first completer, and 1 first-class scientific and technological progress award from the Zhejiang Provincial Education Commission. In 2005, he was nominated by the Ministry of Education for the Natural Science Award as the main completer. 1 first-class science award, 1 first-class Zhejiang Province Science and Technology Progress Award, and 3 national invention patents. As the first breeder, four watermelon varieties have passed Zhejiang Provincial Variety Approval - 'Zhemi No. 5', 'Xiufang', 'Xiaofang' and 'Lifang' and other high-quality watermelon varieties, and have achieved remarkable social success. Economic benefits. It mainly offers graduate courses such as "English Writing for Science and Technology", "Advanced Vegetable Breeding", and "Plant Cell Engineering", and undergraduate courses such as "Horticulture and Humanity" and "Agriculture and Modern Civilization".
The research results have won the first prize of the Science and Technology Progress Award of the Zhejiang Provincial Education Commission (research on the molecular mechanism of cytoplasmic male sterility in mustard and somatic cell transfer technology), and the first prize of the Natural Science Award of the Ministry of Education (facility (controllable) environment). The first prize of the Zhejiang Province Science and Technology Progress Award (the mechanism and supporting products for overcoming the growth obstacles of vegetables under the facility (controlled) environment) and other awards.
