Research summary
AI-generated

Li Lü works on plant biochemistry and molecular biology, with a strong focus on discovering and engineering enzymes (especially terpene synthases) that produce natural compounds like fragrances, insecticidal agents, and pharmaceutical precursors in plants and microbes such as yeast. The research also extends into genome analysis of plants and animals, gene family studies under environmental stress, and some applied projects in agriculture, nanomaterials, and disease-related biology, suggesting broad collaborations across biotechnology-adjacent fields.
