Research:

I have an appointment of research in breeding and stress physiology of fruit trees with emphasis on jujube. The goal of my research is to discover and characterize the molecular process of fertilization, jujube fruit quality and environmental stresses on tree growth and fruiting, and develop management practices for improving orchard productivity and fruit quality. Nowadays, abiotic (Heavy-metal pollution, drought and salinity) are the major problems preventing fruit crops growth well and caused huge loss in developing countries.Specially, we hope to resolve the role of mycorrhizal symbiosis improving plant tolerance to those abiotic factors. I am also involved in undergraduate and graduate teaching.
