【RESEARCH INTERESTS】

1. Plant Physiology and Plant Molecular Biology: Plant growth and development and stress regulation, plant functional genomics and epigenetic regulation and bioinformatics. This will explore the basic laws and molecular mechanisms of plant growth and development, and provide scientific basis and new targets for molecular breeding.

2. Metabolism and synthetic biology: Synthesis and metabolic regulation of important natural products and its new applications. This will investigate

the synthesis and metabolic regulation mechanisms of important natural products to provide scientific basis for clinical treatment, food nutrition, and beauty applications.

3. Genetic engineering: Plant genetic engineering improvement, identification and production application. Here we study the important traits genes of edible, medicinal and ornamental plants, use genetic engineering technology to make their key traits better, to improve the edible, medicinal and ornamental value, and ultimately to increase the economic efficiency of productions.
