Research Interest
The interaction between plants and microbes plays an important role in both agricultural production and ecological fields, but the environment has an strong effect on the stable cooperation between both parties. At present, We are interested in: (1) Legume-rhizobia symbiotic interaction under salt alkali stress; (2) SynComs development and application.
