上海交通大學植物發育生物學研究室（Laboratory of Plant Developmental Biology）於2004年8月15日成立。上海交通大學植物發育生物學研究室主要圍繞以下三個研究領域開展工作：
1）水稻花序和花器官形態建成的分子調控機理研究：
水稻具有特殊的花序和花器官結構，決定糧食產量，利用遺傳學、生物化學、細胞生物學等手段研究MADS-box等轉錄因子參與水稻花序和花器官形態建成。
2）水稻雄性生殖發育機理研究：
植物雄性生殖器官花葯發育以及雄性生殖細胞花粉的形成對於植物孢子體和配子體世代交替、遺傳和變異等非常重要，涉及細胞分裂、分化、細胞和細胞之間交流、細胞死亡以及減數分裂、有絲分裂等重要生物學過程。我們利用系統生物學（基因組、蛋白組、代謝組等）、遺傳學、細胞生物學、生物化學、結構生物學等手段研究控制水稻生殖發育的細胞和細胞之間通訊、細胞程式性死亡、脂類代謝等重要分子機制。
3）轉基因生物分子特徵研究：
利用系統生物學手段研究轉基因生物在基因組、轉錄組、蛋白組、代謝組變化規律，建立轉基因生物分子特徵檢測監測新方法，制訂相關技術標準。
