Biography

I am currently investigating the mechanisms behind iridescence in Hibiscus and its impact on pollination. Additionally, I am exploring the emission and regulatory pathways responsible for rose fragrance through a multi-omics approach, including genome, transcriptome, and metabolome analysis. I am also interested in the activity, development, and application of plant secondary metabolites, as well as the breeding of new plant varieties.
