We are working on breeding functional rice with genome editing technologies. Our research isn't just about applying a gene editing tool. Rather, it focuses on the integration of multiple aspects, from gene selection and editing tool optimization to detailed phenotypic and agronomic trait analysis.
We have gone beyond simply demonstrating the feasibility of editing the SBEIIb gene in rice. Our work comprehensively assesses the impact of this editor on the biochemical, molecular, and the agronomic traits of the edited rice. Our lab will focus on several key research questions in the future, aiming to push the limits of genetic editing technologies and crop breeding.
Specifically, we are committed to contributing a wide range of foundational crop varieties that not only have high yield and exceptional quality, but also exhibit strong stress tolerance.
