RESEARCH

The research direction in the Lab of Molecular Genetics of Forestry mainly derived into the following three topics. First, functional genetics research of native trees. Second, diversity of the genes involved in secondary metabolite. Third, promote and construct the industrial system of Chinese herbs medicine and functional food. Base on the results collected from our research, we hope it will provide important reference for investigating tree physiology, evolution, and exploitation of medical composition etc., and improving the practical value of the native trees on silviculture, tree improvement and secondary metabolism.
