1. Plant growth, development and regulation: study the whole growth process of plants from seed germination to mature plants, as well as various factors affecting this process, such as environmental conditions, hormones, signal transduction, etc.
2. Plant photosynthesis and carbon assimilation: Study how plants use light energy to convert carbon dioxide into organic matter, and the mechanism of energy conversion and distribution during photosynthesis.
3. Plant nutrition and mineral absorption: Study how plants absorb water and minerals from soil, and the transportation and utilization of these substances in plants.
4. Plant biotechnology and genetic engineering: using molecular biology, genetics and other technical means to carry out gene editing, transgenic and other operations on plants to improve plant characters or enhance their stress resistance.
5. Plant reproductive biology: study the processes of plant reproduction, reproductive organ development, pollination and fertilization, and the genetic factors that affect these processes.
6. Biology of plant stress resistance: To study how plants respond to various stress conditions, such as drought, salinity, pests and diseases, and the physiological and molecular mechanisms of plants under these stress conditions.
7. Plant system and evolutionary biology: study the process of plant classification, phylogeny and speciation, and the relationship between plants and other biological groups.
8. Medicinal plants and plant pharmacology: study the chemical composition, pharmacological action and clinical application of medicinal plants, as well as the basic theories and methods of plant pharmacology.
9. Plant Ecology: Study the position and function of plants in the ecosystem and their interaction with other biological and abiotic factors.
10. Plant protection and agro-ecology: study the prevention and control methods of plant diseases and insect pests, the stability and sustainability of agro-ecosystem and other issues.
