Supported Projects:
In recent years, I have presided over the National natural scientific funds, the sub-project of the Strategic Priority Research Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the STS project of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the key scientific and technological research projects of Guangdong Province. In recent years, I have also participated in the research of key projects in Guangdong Province and National key research and development projects.
Awards and Honors:
1)The project "Field Reintroduction and Application of Rare and Endangered Plants in South China" won the first prize of Guangdong Provincial Environmental Protection Science and Technology Award in 2012; 
2)The project "Field Regression Research and Application of Rare and Endangered Plants in South China" won the first prize of Guangdong Provincial Government Science and Technology Award in 2013. My main achievement in this project is that I have conducted research on the breeding technology of several rare and endangered plants at the national level for the first time in China using plant biotechnology and carried out the field return of some species. 
3)In 2018, "Research and Application of Key Technologies for utilization and industrialization of characteristic plant resources in Guangdong Province" won the first prize of Guangdong Provincial Science and Technology Progress Award, and I ranked second.
