Research Interests and Current Efforts

My research interest focuses on exploring and leveraging plant immune responses to mitigate the effects of plant viruses, enhance host nutrient absorption, and optimize crop yields. Currently, my primary work centers on investigating the interaction between plant innate immunity and viruses that invade the plant vasculature—particularly the xylem—and developing effective management strategies for these viral diseases.
