Biography
WU Jianqiang, Professor of botany. Major research interests include 1) molecular mechanisms of plant resistance to insect herbivores; 2) plant-parasitic plant interactions; 3) mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and calcium-dependent protein kinase (CDPK) signaling in plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses; 4) mechanism of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay in plants.
