Research interests:
Durable resistance of rice in Yuanyang Terraces:
Rice diversity on disease control and its impact on pathogen populations.
Intraspecies rice root communication on disease control.
Role of soil microbes on plant health.
Biodiversity for crop disease management:
Study the plant-plant-microbe mechanisms involved in disease suppression in agri-biodiversity system. Then build the model with the benefits of agri-biodiversity to manage crop disease in agricultural system.
