Liu, Qing-Ting (刘庆庭) is postdoctoral researcher in the group of Wolfgang Zierer. He mainly focusses on metabolic pathways, starch synthesis and turnover. His current project is to synergistically increase the input of essential metabolites for starch synthesis of plastids, and induce a more active rate-limiting enzyme of starch synthesis, in order to increase the capacity of carbon assimilation and storage in cassava. In addition, he has interest to explore the communication and interplay between source and sink organ/tissues, to either fine-tune the current strategy or design new strategy to manipulate cassava sugar/starch metabolism, aiming to achieve yield improvement.
