Our group is interested in the molecular and genomic mechanisms on ecological interactions between plants their biotic and abiotic environments. Our research is focused on the following fields:

1.      Roles and evolution of jasmonates transporters (JATs) on the metabolism, perception, signaling and ecological interactions;

2.      Plant mating systems and molecular mechanisms of interspecific reproductive isolation/speciation;

3.       Ecological and evolutionary genomics of wild strawberry and raspberry in China  and applications in breeding;

4.      Diversity and synthetic biology of alliin and allicin sulfur-containing compounds in Chinese Leek plants.
