　　The Main Academic Achievements:

　　1. Five new grape cultivars, ‘Qinxiu’， ‘Qinhong No.1’， ‘Qinhong No.2’， ‘Qinhong No.6’， ‘Qinhong No.10’， were selected （registered in 2012 by Shaanxi province）。

　　2.Eight molecular markers linked to powdery mildew-resistant genes, two molecular markers linked to anthracnose-resistant genes and two molecular markers linked to cold-resistant genes in Chinese wild Vitis were got.

　　3. A cDNA library of cold-resistant genes in Chinese wild V. amurensis was constructed. A special expression gene VaERD15 in cold-resistance process of V. amurensis was cloned and its function was analyzed.

　　4. Genetically modified research was performed and some transgenic grape plants were got.
