个人简介指导学生实验
1966年生，安徽岳西人。1999年入选中国科学院“百人计划”，引进国外杰出人才，2004年入选首批新世纪百千万人才工程国家级人选，2006年经国务院批准享受政府特殊津贴专家，2008年国家杰出青年基金获得者。现为植物基因组学国家重点实验室研究组组长，国家植物基因研究中心（北京）理事会秘书、主任助理及项目科学家，中国科学院遗传发育所浙江嘉兴农作物高新技术育种中心副主任。同时任中国科学院研究生院教授，中国农业科学院水稻研究所研究员，南京大学、北京师范大学等兼职教授，国际组织培养与生物技术学会会员，美国植物生理学会会员，中国遗传学会第七届理事会理事，中国遗传学会国际交流委员会委员，中国植物生理学会植物组织培养与生物技术专业委员会委员。研究方向储成才博士领导的研究组主要从事植物基因表达的精细调控、农作物产量和抗逆境胁迫相关基因的克隆及农作物的分子设计等研究。
主要研究内容：
植物功能基因组学拟南芥菜基因组全序列测序完成和水稻基因组工作草图的绘制为人们提供了大量的序列信息。如何充分利用测得的基因序列是功能基因组研究必须回答的问题。突变体创制是研究基因功能最主要的途径和基础，同时突变体本身也极具商业价值。创新研究组的主要课题之一是建立大规模水稻突变体库。目前已建立有超过25,000个独立转基因水稻的T-DNA插入突变体库，并以此为基础开展与植物产量相关的功能基因的克隆与鉴定研究。
水稻新品种的分子设计随着功能基因组学研究的深入，特别是大量功能基因的克隆，如何利用现有基因并有目的的克隆新基因从而对农作物进行品种分子设计改良是研究组的重点研究内容。其中课题组主要集中在影响植物光合同化产物合成、分配和转运以及源-库互作对水稻品质及产量的影响和植物耐受生物和非生物胁迫能力等相关基因的克隆和利用。
