1.小麦抗病基因发掘、精细定位和图位克隆 

　　 小麦条锈病是严重危害小麦生产的重要病害。课题组广泛收集了国内外的小麦野生种、地方品种和育成品种，进行了系统的抗病性鉴定和遗传分析，综合利用比较基因组学，高通量SNP分析和下一代测序手段对抗病基因进行精细定位和图位克隆。解析小麦对条锈菌病害的抗性遗传和分子机理，研究小麦抗病基因的遗传进化和变异机制，开发抗病基因功能标记应用于小麦分子育种。 

　　 2.小麦重要农艺性状基因/QTL定位、精细定位和图位克隆 

　　 小麦产量构成因素、株型（株高、叶片形态、茎杆质地等）和品质（加工和营养品质）是影响小麦生产的重要农艺性状。课题组以小麦遗传群体和自然群体为材料，利用高通量SNP分析和下一代测序技术进行遗传作图，对控制重要农艺性状的基因/QTL进行定位、精细定位和图位克隆，应用于小麦的遗传改良和分子育种。 

　　 3.小麦种质创新和新品种培育 

　　 综合利用常规育种和分子育种技术手段，创制和培育适于我国西南麦区的高产、抗病、优质种质资源和新品种。
