Sciencetific Research

Our group mainly focus on exploring the mode of action of regulatory noncoding RNA in plants. It consists of two aspects, longnoncoding RNA regulating Arabidopsis responses to drought stres, and miRNA regulating soybean responses to drought stress. Recently, we have systematicly unveiled the molecular mechansim of a series of drought associated long noncoding RNAs including ARTA, DANA1, DANA2 and so on. In addition, we also have developed new methods for studying the interaction between RNA and protein. Our research are supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China and Jiangxi Province Natural Science Foundation, and some of our findings have been published on Developmental Cell, Molecular Plant, EMBO Reports and STAR Protocols. Students who are interested in plant noncoding RNA are welcomed to contact Prof. Dong Wang.
