Current Focus Areas
Plant Development and Immunity Regulation: We are trying to understand molecular mechanism of differential cell elongation and plant immunity. We are using a multi-disciplinary approach combining genetics, cell biology, genomics, biochemistry and proteomics to answer our biological questions. Our research findings will be used to develop climate-resilient crops.
