Research Interests

Our group is mainly focusing on exploring the molecular basis of plant-insect interaction. On one hand, to fully understand plant resistance to insects, we have been screening the rice T-DNA insertion library by evaluating rice resistance against different insect pest species, for example, the brown planthopper and white back planthopper. These results will help identify the resistant-related genes responsible for rice resistance to insect pests; the potential targets can be further employed in transgenic plants for crop protection. On the other hand, we are also interested in selecting the key genes related to insect development and reproduction. We lay our emphasis on those gene targets causing a lethal phenotypic effect via RNAi technology and try to understand their mode of action based on the knowledge of insect physiology and biochemistry. And hopefully, our data will provide an insight for some new strategies in developing the dsRNA-based insecticides.
