II. Research interests

Focusing on the molecular mechanism of plant hormone abscisic acid and fruit development regulation; revealing the signal recognition mechanism of ABA receptors.Established the virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) technology in peach and strawberry fruits, and confirmed the vital role of ABA in the ripening of peach and strawberry fruits, and proposed the possible signal transduction mechanism of ABA regulating fruit ripening.
