主要研究领域及兴趣

1）植物光合作用的调控机制。我们以水稻和拟南芥为材料研究光合作用电子传递、能量转换、光合系统的组装、光合作用的调控等科学问题。结合生物信息学、遗传学和分子生物学的方法克隆叶绿体发育、光合作用相关的新基因，并解析其作用机制。
We study how photosynthetic energy conversion works, how it is regulated, and how it might be improved to help meet the world’s needs for food and fuel. We use rice and Arabidopsis and interdisciplinary approaches to investigate fundamental questions about assembly, regulation, and dynamics of photosynthesis.
2）植物抗逆性研究。干旱、高盐、低温、高光及营养缺乏等非生物逆境会影响植物的生长发育。为了适应不断变化的自然环境，植物有其自身的应对机制。我们的兴趣在于克隆植物抗逆应答和信号传导的相关基因，解析其分子机制及生物学功能，并将基础理论研究的成果应用于水稻非生物逆境的抗性改良。
Our goal is to understand the molecular mechanism underlying plant response and adaptation to its environment. Several proteins and pathways have been identified that function in plant responses to environmental stress conditions including salt, drought, cold, high light, and poor nitrite. Manipulation of stress response genes and pathways can therefore enhance the growth of plants under abiotic stress, impacting agriculture and environment.
