Our group focuses on understanding the molecular mechanism of sweet sorghum stem-sugar accumulation, salt and drought tolerance and biomass production. We hope to develop sweet sorghum into a multipurpose biofuel crop. In other aspect, we also do some work related to plant senescence regulation. In 2012, we published two reviews about regulation of leaf senescence and sweet sorghum breeding, and one collaboration paper.
