Research interests
Focus on genetics, molecular biology, functional genomics areas on various species including rice, wheat, barley, Medicago and canola. Mainly research floral development, water use efficiency and stomata development, drought tolerance and abiotic stress under variant temperature effects, using T-DNA mutants, RNAi silencing, TILLING and gene editing CRISPR/cas9.
