Research Directions

(1) Molecular mechanisms of auxin regulation in plant adaptive growth and plastic development; 

(2) Functional analysis of cyclic nucleotide cNMP in plant cell signaling; 

(3) Crop improvement and nutritional enhancement based on synthetic biology strategies.

The research group primarily uses Arabidopsis, tomato, and soybean as model organisms, integrating multidisciplinary techniques from plant molecular genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, metabolomics, and synthetic biology to conduct studies in the above directions. We encourage interdisciplinary collaboration and welcome young talents, such as postdoctoral fellows and research assistants, who are interested in and passionate about research in agriculture and plant synthetic biology, with different research backgrounds. Priority will be given to those with experience in molecular genetics of Arabidopsis, tomato, or soybean, or in cell signaling pathway research.
