Outline Activities
Researches on protein synthesis, protein modificatin, protein transport, protein localization and protein degradation in plant cells are couducting. Current topics of researches include the regulation mechanism of organelle differentiation, membrane protein localization and degradation under different nutritional conditions, characterization of transport signals, and regulation of protein glycosylation.
