Program emphasis

Fruit Quality and Postharvest biology

1) Large-scale proteomics and metabolomics analyses to find key executors and understand their regulation on chromoplasts differentiation / amyloplast degradation / elaioplast formation as fruit ripening proceeded and postharvest storage.

2) Understanding of the core proteins identified from plastoglobules within plastids in fruit quality and their responses to senescence / stresses during fruit maturation and storage.

3) The methods developed to fresh-keeping and extend the shelf-life of fruits.
