Omics research of interest

 

Our laboratory is interested in the study of plant stress physiology, especially abiotic stress in rice.  Various techniques, which include differential display, proteomics, genome-wide association study (GWAS) and co-expression network analysis have been used to identify salt/drought tolerant genes. After the involvement of the selected gene in salt / drought tolerance is validated, the gene function is investigated with transcriptomic analysis of the over-expressed or knocked-out mutant lines.
