主要研究工作:

1.植物代谢物的合成及其功能研究

植物合成并积累种类繁多的代谢物。这些代谢物在植物的生长发育、环境适应中发挥着重要作用；一些特殊的代谢物是重要药物和人体必需的重要营养成分。目前人们对植物代谢物及其合成途径和调控网络还了解甚少。我们以水稻、丹参等为主要研究材料，采用分子生物学以及包括代谢组学在内的分子系统生物分析方法系统地解析植物萜类及其它代谢物的生物合成途径及其调控机理，重点揭示代谢物和及其合成途径的生物学功能。

2.植物代谢组学及其应用

植物合成的代谢物有20万至100万种之多，且结构与理化性质差异很大，从而使植物的代谢组学研究更具挑战性。我们使用先进的分析仪器，结合现代组学和系统生物的数据分析手段，进行植物代谢物的定性和定量分析；探索代谢组学在揭示植物科学、农业生产和环境安全等领域的应用前景。

3.植物持久抗病性的分子机制研究

作物的持久抗病性在农业生产中具有重要的应用价值，如，小麦条锈病在我国小麦主产区发病严重，危害小麦产量。然而小麦的基因组庞大、复杂，严重阻碍了其功能基因组学的研究。我们利用基因组较小、具有全基因组序列的二穗短柄草为模式植物，解析麦类作物与麦类锈菌的互作机制，为麦类作物的持久抗病品种培育和农业可持续发展提供理论依据。
