This research aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying rice heterosis, develop whole-genome molecular markers, conduct genomic editing, enhance critical agronomic traits such as yield and fertility, and breed novel varieties.
This study aims to investigate the spatio-temporal distribution of jasmonates and understand how their signaling transduction and termination orchestrate the trade-off between growth and defense.
This study aims to investigate the molecular mechanisms involved in the transition among distinct reproductive meristem cells, the maintenance and determinacy of meristem activity, and the specification and establishment of polarity in floral organs.
