研究领域（Research Area)
植物的生长发育完全倚赖于干细胞持续的分裂和进一步分化成各种器官。干细胞的分化决定了侧生器官的数量、花原基的形成和从营养生长向生殖生长的转变。我们一直致力于利用模式植物拟南芥来研究植物干细胞维持与分化的机理、花原基分化的机制，并利用基因工程技术培育出适合农业可持续发展的植物新品种。
After germination, the stem cells in shoot apical meristem will continually propagate and the daughter cells will be differentiated into different aerial organs, including leaves, shoots and flowers. Plants can regulate their growth and development pattern via modifying stem cell differentiation to cope with environmental changes. The stem cell niche which serves as a source of cell for new organ formation during the post-embryonic development of plant, determines the lateral organ number, the transition from vegetative growth to reproductive growth. It is interesting to investigate the mechanism of stem cell maintenance and differentiation. We mainly focus on the mechanism for stem cell maintenance, differentiation of flower meristem and flowering time regulation. We intend to breed new plant species for sustainable development of agriculture inWest CoastEconomic Zone of Taiwan Straits. We believe that our work will provide more idea and technologies for crop genetic improvement.
