[Ming-Hsiun Hsieh Lab] Postdoctoral Research Fellow

Research Topic: How glutamate and glutamine regulate plant growth and defense
Research Description:
Our laboratory uses molecular genetics approaches to study how plants sense and respond to
amino acids (glutamate and glutamine). We have discovered that, in addition to being essential
nutrients for plant growth, glutamate and glutamine can also enhance plant immune responses.
We welcome postdoctoral researchers with independent research capabilities to join us in
exploring the novel functions of amino acids in plants.
All postdoctoral researchers are welcome to take the research topics, materials, and any other
related projects they worked on during their time in our lab to continue developing them in the
next stage of their academic careers, such as in faculty or independent research positions.
