Main Experiences

Dr. Guo-Qing Li has been working at Huazhong Agricultural University as a lecturer, associate professor, and professor since 1989. Additionally, he conducted his postdoctoral research in Canada for 3 years during this period.

Research Fields

Engaged research interests includes

1. Biological control of plant diseases

i. We focus on the use of Coniothyrium minitans for the control of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, and study the ecology and solid fermentation of C. minitans as well as the microbial agent manufacture, and the molecular mechanism involved in the interaction between S. sclerotiorum and C. minitans.

ii. We investigate the potential of using yeasts for the control of grey mold disease and the underling mechanism.

2. Biology of Plant pathogenic fungi

i. Study the occurrence of blackleg of oilseed rape in China, and develop the control technology.

ii. Study the flora and molecular phylogenetics of Botrytis spp. in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, investigate the population structure of Botrytis cinerea and the molecular mechanism of its pathogenicity decline.
