Research
Our Biotechnology & Interdisciplinary Research Lab aims to use interdisciplinary strategy to study Translational Control, Plant Defense and Precision Agriculture.
We are focusing on two basic biological questions. One is the Bio-triangle relationship (i.e., plant-pathogen-endophyte). Overusing pesticides and fertilizers and gaining resistant traits must ruin the harmonious bio-triangle relationship. We are working on the molecular mechanisms of the Arabidopsis-Pseudomonas-entophytic bacteria bio-triangle interaction model to help engineer disease-resistant crops. The other question is the Trait-triangle relationship (i.e., defense-yield-quality). High yield usually compromises crop defense and quality. We are working on the molecular mechanisms of balancing the trait-triangle relationship to meet the increasing requirement for high-quality crops.
To address those questions, we are developing novel Biotechniques by introducing different disciplines, including omics and information technology, microfluidic technology, synthetic chemistry and biology.
