Education Background

Zeng Dali, a plant geneticist in rice, received his BSc degree in Agronomy (1994) from Zhejiang Agriculture University, China, his MSc degree in Crop Genetics & Breeding (2002) from the Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS), China and his PhD in Genetics (2007) from Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), China.

Research Area

Zeng has been working on rice genetics and breeding since 1994. His research field covers the discovery, genetic dissection and utilization of favorable genes in rice germplasm, especially in molecular breeding on grain yields and grain quality. He has developed two inbred/ hybrid rice varieties with great progress of his research on molecular design breeding. He has published more than 50 scientific papers on different academic journals including PNAS, Plant Molecular Biology, Theoretical and Applied Genetics, etc.
