 My research interests center on basic and applied research in the area of plant functional genomics and plant molecular farming. We are interested in studying genes involved in nutrient deficient tolerance, and heavy metal tolerance by forward genomics and reverse genomics approaches. The target crop is rice. We screen mutants from Taiwan Rice Insertional Mutants database (TRIM) or Rice Tos17 Insertion Mutant Database ( Japan ), and use of gene transfer system to overexpress or knockdown potential genes related to nutrient deficient or heavy metal tolerance.
Our long-term goals are to dissect the molecular mechanisms underlying nutrient deficient tolerance or heavy metal tolerance, and use the knowledge to genetically improve either the utilization of limited nutrition or the manipulation in phytoremediation. Emphasis is also being placed on the screening of novel strong stress- or chemical- inducible promoters that could be used to drive the expression of commercially valuable proteins in transgenic plants. The essential elements that are still response to stresses or chemicals will also be investigated via transient expression analysis. The ultimate goal of this topic is to combine essential elements to design synthetic promoters that could be used to apply in plant molecular farming. |
