Research Area：
We mainly focus on exploring genes involved in rice-X. oryzae pv oryzae interactions with approaches of forward and reverse genetics, elite genes will be applied into molecular rice breeding via cutting-edge technology. Our current researches include:
1) dissecting the phytohormone signal network related to rice defense response against X. oryzae pv. oryzae.
2) constructing rice mutant population on a genome-wide scale by Cas9 nuclease.
3) unraveling the virulence functions of non-TAL effectors in X oryzae pv. oryzae.
4) developing a highly efficient CRIPSR/Knock-in system in rice.
