Research Area


1. Genome Editing

Genome editing enables precise and efficient targeted modification of an organism’s genome. Our lab is interested in developing novel genome editing systems and applying the systems for both basic research and crop improvement.

2. Apomixis

Apomixis is a process that allows clonal reproduction through seeds, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the mother plant. The introduction of apomixis into major crops will have revolutionary implications for agriculture. Recently, our studies have shown that apomixis is possible in hybrid rice. Now our lab is trying to optimize present apomixis strategy and hope to permanently fix hybrid vigor in crops.

3. Genetic Recombination

Genetic recombination is the process that produces new gene combinations that differ from those of either parent. Our lab is interested in investigating the mechanism of genetic recombination. The long-term goal of our research is to gain control of the occurrence of recombination and create novel allele combination of genetic variation in crops.
