**Basic research

1. Signal transduction pathways of plant hormones that regulate plant growth and development.

2. Cross-talks between receptor-like kinases-mediated signaling pathways.

3. Mechanisms of plant cell differentiation and dedifferentiation.

4. MAP kinase signaling networks in plant development and disease responses.

5. Metabolic pathways of plant natural products.

6. Proteomic and genomic study to identify signaling molecules regulated by endogenous signals and environmental cues.

**Application area

1. Metabolic and genetic engineering of plants for improvement of crop yield and biomass.

2. Production of natural products using plant stem cells (pluripotent and totipotent cells).

3. Genetic engineering of plant stomata development/function to modulate carbon dioxide level in atmosphere.
