Research Interest:
Plants undergo various environmental stresses during the process of plant growth, which is modulated by complicate molecular networks. My research interest is plant stress response and epigenetic regulation, mainly focusing on the mechanisms study of stress related long non coding RNA genes in cruciferous plants such as Arabidopsis, rice, broccoli, cabbage, etc.
