Title:

 

Principal Investigator

Responsibilities:

 

As Principal Investigator, main responsibilities are management and coordination for the whole project.

Project-related

Research focus:

 

We are conducting research on gene expression profiling for different root regions under water deficits in drought tolerant and sensitive maize lines, ABA-deficient mutant, and near-isogenic lines differing in ABA accumulation. In addition, we are conducting research on functional genomics and proteomics of drought tolerance in other crops.
