Plants grow because cells (more specifically cells in the meristems) divide and these new cells then increase in size. Therefore, cell division is critically important to plant growth as to animal growth. Due to the pivotal biological role of cell division, there has been intensive research activities aimed at understanding genes that regulate the cell division cycle in plants. My research in this area aims to understand the molecular and biochemical mechanisms regulating cell division and related processes in plants. The discoveries from this research may be applicable to enhance plant growth (e.g. seed size) and increase biomass.

植物生长是因为细胞（更具体地说是分生组织中的细胞）分裂，然后这些新细胞的大小增加。因此，细胞分裂对植物生长和动物生长都至关重要。由于细胞分裂在生物学中的关键作用，人们对植物中调控细胞分裂周期的基因进行了深入的研究。我的研究方向是了解植物细胞分裂及其相关过程的分子和生化机制。这项研究的发现可能适用于促进植物生长（如种子大小）和增加生物量。
