Research Interest:
Genetic differentiation between the subspecies/species results in various forms of reproductive barriers. Such genetically based barriers lead to reproductive isolation, which prevent gene flow between populations. Reproductive isolation is both the indicator and a primary force of speciation, playing a key role in maintaining species identity. The major interest is reproductive isolation and population differentiation in rice, which is in close relationship with utilization of heterosis in hybrid rice. The research areas include functional genomics, evolution and population genetics.
