He has also been engaged in the collection and evaluation of grape germplasm resources and breeding and its industrialization. He has published over 170 research papers in the international journals and led his team in developing nine high-quality early-ripening table grape varieties and five cold-resistant wine grape varieties, which have been widely cultivated and promoted. For more than a decade, Prof. LI Shaohua and his team have collaborated scientifically with the Institute of Grape and Wine research (ISVV) of the University of Bordeaux and the French National Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment Research (INRAE).
