About

My group is focusing on understanding plant-viroid interactions. Viroids are single-stranded circular noncoding RNAs that can cause crop disease. We aim to understand how viroids using their RNA structures to exploit host machinery to achieve successful replication and spreading in plants, as well as the mechanism of viroid pathogenicity.
