State Key Laboratory of Plant Genomics was co-established by Institute of Microbiology (IM) and Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Research team at IM uses the major crop diseases as pathological models, including plant viral disease, rice blast, rice bacterial blight, cotton verticillium wilt and black rot disease of crucifers, to investigate the molecular plant-microbe interactions and develop novel biotechnology of disease resistance.

To strengthen the research on plant-microbe interaction, we are seeking for principal investigators who will be supported by the CAS Hundred Talent Project.
