Our group is committed to advancing plant genome research, with a focus on the bioinformatics analysis of genomic data. Through the innovative application of cutting-edge genome sequencing techniques, we explore the genetic diversity of crop plants and other species to conduct fundamental and comparative genome research. Our goal is to understand the genetic mechanisms that control agronomically important traits such as disease resistance and adaptability to various environmental conditions.

The integration of "Big Data" and multiple "Omics" levels is a fundamental part of our research strategy. By bringing together these complex data sets, we aim to gain deeper insights into plant biology. A major area of our research is dedicated to studying genetic variations within and between species to gain insights into the evolution of plants and the genetic basis of specific traits. This knowledge lays the groundwork for breeding plant varieties that can withstand the challenges of climate change, deliver high yields under suboptimal conditions, and thus contribute to global food security.
