Interests:Environment-sensitive Genic Male Sterility (EGMS) in Rice; EGMS rice can not only be used in two-line hybrid breeding, but also an important material to study plant-environment interaction. EGMS includes photoperiod-sensitive genic male sterility (PGMS), thermo-sensitive genic male sterility (TGMS) and humidity-sensitive genic male sterility (HGMS). Our group has been engaged in the study of inheritance and molecular mechanism of EGMS in rice. We have cloned and elucidated the molecular mechanism of some EGMS genes, containing tms5, p/tms12-1, hms1 and oscer1. Extreme Temperature Stress Tolerance in Rice; As sessile organisms, plants need to adapt to more environmental changes than animals. In recent years, the abnormal change of environmental temperature has seriously affected the growth and regional distribution of plants. Especially the extreme temperature has a serious effect on crop yield. Our group mainly studies the molecular mechanism of extreme temperature tolerance of rice at panicle stage.

Interests:The characteristic final size of determinate plant organs or seeds is determined by the coordination of cell proliferation and cell growth. However, the molecular mechanisms that control the final size of seeds and organs are largely unknown, and how biological systems measure size remains unclear in developmental biology. Thus, our lab has applied several complementary strategies to identify key regulators of seed and organ size in the model species Arabidopsis and rice. The major aims of our research are to elucidate molecular mechanisms that control the final size of seeds and organs and identify rational ways to engineer increased seed and biomass yield in key crops.
