Research Fields and Interests

We focus on the treatment of organic or heavy metal contaminated soil by phytoremediation. In this case, plant physiology, molecular biology, microbiology and soil science are involved in our lab to study fates of contaminates in soil and plants, including but not only their movement, transformation and degradation in soil and plants.
