从事植物分类和演化研究多年，以严谨、求实、创新，以翔实的调查研究和综合的研究方法认识自然规律，发现新类群、提出新理论和新系统，在国际、国内发表论文和论著累计140余篇(部)。主要学术贡献如下：

(一)  发现1个新科(古买麻藤科)，8个新属（异麻黄属、辽宁穗属、郑氏麻黄属、古买麻藤属、埃姆斯穗、建昌麻黄、道虎沟麻黄和艾琳麻黄）；揭示盖子植物演化的重要中间环节，确定盖子植物中买麻藤分支的起源不晚于中侏罗世1.65亿年；提出盖子植物雌球果起源和演化的简化-败育理论模型，完善了种子植物生殖器官起源和演化的认识；发现盖子植物中曾存在过类似现存断节莎那样的散播方式：生殖枝节部分离，节间和盖子一起形成散播体适应水环境散播。新理论的提出是对种子植物演化理论的重要完善和补充。

(二)  提出裸子植物的新分类系统，3纲5亚纲8目13科86属，著《世界裸子植物分类和地理分布》。

(三)  发现樟科乔木新种多个，包括陀果琼楠、麻栗坡檬果樟、河口楠和金平楠等；研究了300余种樟科植物叶表皮结构特征变异式样，发现檬果樟属双层下表皮结构，阐明其可能的起源模式和适应意义；发现传统划分樟属不是单系，综合宏观形态、微形态和系统发生基因组学证据将樟属划分为樟属和桂属；器官发育和结构研究发现油果樟属花器官从两基数、三基数、四基数以及混合基数的变异式样，退化雄蕊数目变异从三到八枚都存在，揭示花器官的分类学意义，推测传粉系统的改变使得花器官结构处于分化之中。

(四)  积极开展生物多样性保护研究和实践。完成了中国种子植物的红色名录；联合IUCN松柏类裸子植物专家小组对国产裸子植物进行了红色名录评估；对裸子植物攀枝花苏铁、仙湖苏铁和银杉等濒危物种的实地调查，提出新时期濒危物种保育策略应因地制宜地根据物种的具体情况采取适当的人为抚育措施，维持濒危物种在群落内的优势地位，而不应放任自然群落的演替。相关论著：《金沙江河谷四川攀枝花苏铁国家级自然保护区彩色植物图志》、《生命世界》、《手绘濒危植物》、《濒危植物新编》等。
