Research Projects and publication：
Professor Song got more than 20 funding or financial support about wheat genome physical mapping or sequencing, wheat origin, domestication and evolution, the molecular basis on plant resistance to abiotic stresses as well as identification and discovery of the elite resource and functional genes in wild barely and wheat. He was responsible for National Science Foundation of China (grant No. 31561143005, 31471825 and 31271705), the State's Key Project of Research and Development Plan of China (Grant No. 2016YFD0101004 and 2016YFD0100302) as well as National Recommend International Advanced Agricultural Science and Technology Project (948 program, 2010-S1). He also participate to publish 4 English textbooks published by Taylor & Francis CRC press and Springer Science publishing.
