Research Interest

 

Postharvest Biology and Technology

 

Our research focuses on investigation the relationship between reactive oxygen species metabolism and its quality deterioration of fruit and vegetables during cold storage, transportation, and its shelf-life using systems biology techniques. Our group has construct the deterioration model of peach, plum, pear, blueberry,strawberry and raspberry,which  provides the platform for their quality control.

 

Biocontrol of Postharvest diseases

 

Our  research group focuses on  biocontrol of postharvest disease of fruit and vegetables using antagonistic yeast as well as antifungal and antioxidative substances from Chinese Herbs . The current research task is to establish yeast cell proliferation/death model under the key nutrient of sodium citrate, to characterize the relationship between the yeast lifespan and cAMP level, to study the impact of yeast phosphodiesterase inhibitors on the cAMP level and yeast lifespan, and to determine whether PKA and Ca2+ signalling pathway responds to the cAMP action in the presence of PKA-specific inhibitors, the Ca2+ chelator, and Ca2+ release channel of IP3 receptor inhibitors.

 

Winemaking Microbiology

 

Microbiol diversity of grape and wine, including grape planting, havesting,  primary fermentation, malo-lactic conversion, bottling, is regarded as the main factor that influences the quality and shelf-life of wine. Our  research group focuses on the relationship between micboriol diversity, grape disease control and winemaking, as well as the health effect of wine.

 

 

 

 X-ray Structures of Phosphodiesterases and Structure-based bioactive substance screening

 

Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) hydrolyzes adenosine or guanosine 3',5'-cyclic phophate (cAMP or cGMP) to 5'-AMP and 5'-GMP. Selective PDE inhibitors towards a certain family of PDEs have been widely studied as therapeutic agents for treatment of various human diseases. An example is the PDE5 inhibitor VIAGRA that is a prescription drug for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction.Our research focuses on enzymatic and structural characterization of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs), structure-based design of PDE selective inhibitors from fruits and vegetables that can be used as Chinese Herb. We have obtained PDE selective inhibitors from green tea, grape wine.
