>>Research interests

Plants live in an ecosystem with massive microorganisms (beneficial, harmful, or neutral). During the life cycle, plants are attacked by many kinds of harmful ones, or pathogens. Plants rely on innate immunity to defense against pathogens. Upon infection, the immune system of plants is activated to suppress infection. The activation must be precise, spatially and temporally. Mis- or over-activation of the immune system is detrimental. Thus, the activation of plant immune response must be braked. Our research focus on how can plant deal with the stop of immune activation. The two topics of our research are:

1. The negative regulation of plant innate immunity
2. Rice-blast fungus interaction
