Research Interests

My research focuses on the identification and functional study of plant glycosylated proteins, utilizing chemical biology strategies for high-throughput, tissue-specific, and quantitative analysis of glycosylation in plants. We focus on three major areas:        

1) Development of methods for identifying plant glycosylated proteins.        

2) Large-scale identification of plant glycosylated proteins.        

3) The biological functions of plant glycosylated proteins in growth, development, and stress resistance processes.
