Research Specialty:

Plant stress response and molecular mechanism

Courses to Teach:

Genetics, for undergraduates

Plant Stress Physiology and Molecular Biology, for graduates

Research Interest:

My research interest is Plant stress biology, with the focuses on resistant mechanisms of Chinese dwarf cherry (Cerasus humilis (Bge.) Sok.), a species of perennial shrubs, originates in the north of China, by using physiology, biochemistry, and molecular technologies. Currently, my research team is also working on the collection, evaluation, and popularization of C. humilis resources. Besides, we are doing some research works on on molecular interactions of some genes and proteins that play potential roles in development and stress response in poplar.
