Research interest
We are interested in dissecting the cellular mechanisms underlying plant growth and development as well as the interaction of plant with its surrounding environment. Specifically, we are focusing on two following topics:
1) Structure, function and regulation of the plant cytoskeleton;
2) Assembly, function and regulation of non-membranous organelles.
