Research Interest

An important difference between plants and other organisms is that plants are almost immobile and therefore plants have to endure and adapt to changes in the environment during their growth and development. Stress, such as drought, salinity and extreme temperature (high temperature and low temperature), are the major threats to the normal growth and development of plants and stable and high yields of grain. It is a major national strategic demand to increase the multiple stresses of food crops such as rice. Correct folding of protein is the premise and basis of its function, while under stress can lead to protein misfolding, thus affecting the growth and development of plants under adverse conditions. Therefore, in-depth study of the molecular mechanism of plant protein folding regulation may lay a foundation for enhancing plant stress resistance by enhancing cell protein folding ability. Our lab takes Arabidopsis thaliana and rice as model materials, and adopts the methods of genetics, biochemistry and cell biology to study the following two aspects:
