Current Research Directions
1.Symbiosis: to identify microbial factors which are required for maturation and maintenance of nitrogen-fixing nodules
2.Agricultural biotechnology: to develop microbial agents for agricultural and environmental applications
1.Characterization of the azorhizobial chromosome partition proteins : role in regulation of stem-nodule maturation
*this study has been supported by a National Science Council grant
2.Development of multifunctional microbial fertilizers by applying indigenous nitrogen-fixing bacteria and photosynthetic bacteria in Taiwan
*this Industry-Academy Cooperation study has been supported by a National Science Council grant
