Professor Minghua Deng, doctor tutor has long been engaged in the evaluation and utilization of pepper resources and resistance germplasm screening. He host 4 items scientific research projects, published more than 50 scientific papers and 8 monographs and textbooks. Finally, there are some curricula teaches by Prof. Deng, such as edible mushroom cultivation.
