  • We are interested in plant membrane trafficking and signaling, specifically in PI3P-mediated trafficking routes including autophagy and vacuole transport, and synthetic chloroplast autophagy. We also firstly identified the core component of the Hippo pathway, SIK1/Hippo in plants, and are constructing a complete plant Hippo pathway.
