　　　　Research interests

　　Currently my studies deal with the ecological and genetic consequences of plant-insect interaction and variation in phenotypic traits, phenotypic selection, evolution of mating system and the genetic basis of variation of floral traits (morphology and number) and plant adaptation. I am interested in the research combining laboratory and field work.
