    • 研究领域

    At the forefront of genetic research within the field of agricultural biotechnology, my work is dedicated to exploring innovative strategies for the control of Plutella xylostella, commonly known as the diamondback moth. This pest is notorious for its significant impact on cruciferous vegetables worldwide, posing a major challenge to both commercial agriculture and small-scale farming. My research harnesses the cutting-edge CRISPR/Cas9 gene drive technology, a groundbreaking approach that offers a targeted and environmentally responsible method for controlling pest populations. By manipulating the genetic makeup of Plutella xylostella, the gene drive technology aims to suppress the moth's population effectively and sustainably. The essence of my research lies in its potential to revolutionize pest management strategies in agriculture. By integrating genetic control methods with traditional pest management practices, my goal is to develop comprehensive and sustainable solutions to mitigate the impact of Plutella xylostella on global food production.
