Our research interest revolves around improving crop yields and enhancing plant health in agriculture. Plants are constantly defending themselves from various pathogen attacks. Plant diseases have always caused significant yield losses. Currently, 20~30% of global crop losses annually are caused by pathogen infection. We aim to delineate the plant response mechanism in plant-microbe interaction and develop effective and environmentally friendly strategies for crop disease management.
