Specific ongoing projects are:

• Enhancement of stress tolerance and nutritional value through metabolic engineering in tomato
• Elucidation of chemodiversity in Scutellaria genus to mine bioactive compounds for human disease treatment
• Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying stress signal derived phenylpropanoid regulation
• Alternative auxin biosynthesis pathway
• Study on regulation of aldoxime metabolism and flavonoid production under stress
• The role of melatonin in plant stress responses
