The department consist 3 research groups of genetic breeding of tomato(S. lycopersicum), pepper  (Capsicum spp.), and eggplant (Solanummelongena). They engage in the discovery of genetics and  mechanism on important agronomic characters, such as fruit quality, disease and stress resistance to  improve crop yield, quality and resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses. Exploration and application of  novel breeding strategies including male sterility, cell engineering technique, molecular marker-assisted  breeding, whole genomic selection, genetic engineering etc. They are committed to germplasm  enhancement and development of new varieties.
