• Biosynthesis of secondary metabolites.
• Plant growth regulators from microorganisms, their translocation, functions and modes of action within the receptive plant.
• Identification of receptors of bio-active compounds and elucidation of the siganal transduction pathway.
• Chemical study on plant allelochemicals that play an important roles between plant-plant interaction, plant-microorganisms interaction, and plant-nematodes interaction both beneficially and dramatically.
• Basic applied research on the chemistry of temperate and tropical plants.

Our group has been concerned with the development and behavior of living systems, and studied on a molecular level the intimate behavior of organic entities in biological environment. Research is directed at the secondary metabolites from plants and microorganisms, their biosynthesis and functions in plants, their role in agriculture, and their potential important in medicine and veterinary medicine.
