主要研究工作：

“万物生长靠太阳”，太阳光既为植物光合作用提供能量，也是植物一种重要的环境因子。植物也有“眼睛”，能精确分辨太阳光的波长、方向、强度和周期等信息，并告诉自己如何生长发育去适应环境。

课题组综合运用植物生理学、遗传学、生物化学、分子生物学、细胞生物学、基因组学和生物信息学等学科及其手段，主要研究（1）植物如何感知和传递光的信息，并调控叶绿体发育、形态建成、生物钟和开花等重要生理过程；（2）叶绿素合成途径的功能与分子调控；（3）植物对强光的响应和适应机制，尤其是光与活性氧信号的交互作用。通过挖掘与解析重要基因的分子和生化功能，期望建立信号调控网络，为深入揭示植物与光的关系，及其对光的利用奠定基础。

课题组在光精细调控叶绿素合成（Tang et al., 2012 Plant Cell；Tang et al., 2013 Plant Physiology）、光与活性氧信号的互作（Chen et al.,2013 Plant Cell）、光形态建成（Jing et al., 2013 Plant Cell；Li et al., 2014 Plant Physiology；Zhang et al., 2014 Plant Cell）、以及RNA编辑（Zhang et al., 2014 PNAS）等方面取得了重要进展。
