Our research: Plant-environment interaction in land plant evolution

During plant terrestrializaiton (moving from water to land environments), plants face many terrestrial stressors, such as drought, high salinity and drastic temperature shifts. The main goal of our research is to understand how land plants adapt to those unfavoured environments at the molecular level during the course of evolution. We are also interested in applying the knowledge we obtained in such studies for designing stress resilient crops for precision agriculture.

Our approaches: Experimental systems biology

Multi-omics: By using bulk RNA-seq, single-cell RNA-seq, ATAC-seq and proteomics, we can accurately measure and quantify the genes and/ or proteins changes at a system level. By harnessing the hidden information from these big data, it also allows us to infer hypothesis and answer new questions.

Simple phylogeny of land plants

Multi-species: By combining the experimental data from diverse model plant species such as Arabidopsis thaliana (dicot and vascular plant), Oryza sativa (monocot and vascular plant) and Marchantia polymorpha (bryophyte and non-vascular plant), we can study the molecular evolution of distinct or conserved gene regulatory network (GRNs) and signaling networks in the green lineage.

Multi-networks: Integrated network analysis is crucial for accurately predicting regulatory circuit. Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) allow us to understand the dynamics and hierarchy of hundreds and thousands of regulators (e.g., Transcription factors, TF) and their targeted genes simultaneously. Likewise, signaling networks will provide us a sophisticated understanding of kinase cascade dynamics upon environmental perturbations.

Current research questions:

  1. Understanding chromatin accessibility dynamics and gene regulatory landscape of multiple abiotic stress response in long-term plants evolution
  2. Understanding global phosphorylation landscape across distant species upon environmental perturbations
  3. Decoding plant abiotic response at the single cellular resolution in early land plant evolution
