Photosynthesis

Zhiyong Wang is interested in how hormones regulate plant growth according to endogenous nutrient and energy status and environmental conditions. His lab uses broad research approaches to dissect the molecular mechanisms by which plants perceive, transduce, and integrate internal and external signals into cellular decisions to divide, expand, differentiate, defend, or acclimate. Their goal is to understand the signaling and regulatory networks and to generate knowledge that enables engineering plants with enhanced yield and resilience.
