研究方向
本实验室致力于植物次生代谢的研究，主要关注以下几个方面：
1. 模式植物中植物次生代谢的合成及调控
2. 药用植物中重要药用分子的生物合成及调控
3. 重要植物天然产物的次生代谢工程
4. 重要植物次生代谢产物对植物的生理学意义


Research Interests
My lab has broad interests in plant secondary metabolism. We are aiming to understand the biosynthesis and regulation of important plant secondary metabolites, from model plants to medicinal plants. We also investigate the biological roles of important metabolites, as well as employ different bio-technologies to produce valuable compounds in plants.
