一、简历已发表科研论文100多篇，获得一项国家发明专利，其中以通讯作者在Plant J、Plant Physiology、New Phytologist、Plant Cell Environment和Journal of Experimental Botany等SCI刊物接受和发表论文30多篇。
二、主要研究方向植物气体信号分子（NO、CO等）的代谢、功能以及信号转导
三、在研项目国家自然科学基金、 江苏省自然科学基金和博士点基金各1项。
四、主要工作1、开展了一氧化氮（NO）的植物生理效应和信号转导工作。
2、发现了植物内源产生的一氧化碳（CO）也具有与NO类似的植物生长调节效应，包括提高植物耐盐性和调节不定根/侧根发生,因此在实践中可以通过调节CO的产生来提高农作物的免疫性和改善植物生长发育。
