Brief Introduction

We mainly focus on the transcriptome, metabolome, and post-translational regulatory mechanisms of vegetable crops in response to low temperature, salinization, heavy metal pollution, etc., in order to identify key genes in the regulation of stress resistance and create new germplasm adapted to environmental changes.
