My research focuses on the physiology and production technology of horticultural crops. I have been working on various aspects of horticultural crops, such as abiotic stress tolerance, fruit quality improvement, and the identification and characterization of potential genes at the genome-wide level. In recent years, we are employing different molecular techniques to improve environmental stress tolerance in horticultural crops. I’m also responsible for international teaching and research at the college of horticulture and forestry sciences.
