He also serves as an associated editor of international and national scientific journals, such as "Environmental Biosafety Research", "Crop Research", "Asian Journal of Plant Sciences", "Biodiversity Science", "Chinese Rice Science" and "Journal of Plant Genetic Resources". He received his degree of Ph. D. from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in 1993 and his degree of M. Sc. from Sichuan Agricultural University in 1986. He was promoted as an Associate Professor (since 1994) in the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, and a Professor (since 1995) in Beijing Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The Fudan University employed him as a Full Professor since 2000. He is actively involved in research and teaching of botany, biosystematics, cytogenetics, and biodiversity conservation of the wild relative species, particularly with wild wheat, wild soybean, and wild rice. He has published more than 150 academic articles, more than 60 of these were published in the SCI journals. These papers were frequently cited (more than 300 times) by scientists working in the similar fields. He currently works on genetic diversity of wild relative species, molecular evolution, and biosafety assessment of GM crops (transgene escape and its ecological consequences). He was awarded the First Prize of "Sichuan Scientific and Progress Award" in 1999, and the Second Prize of "Chinese National Natural Science Award" in 2000 with his colleagues.
