Research Area:

Dr. Guo mainly focuses on the interaction mechanism between  bemisia tabaci and host plants, sex determination mechanism of  bemisia tabaci , drug resistance, stress resistance and other mechanisms, and genetic diversity, microbial diversity and whole genome analysis of  Psylliodes attenuata . Future research focuses on the use of biosynthesis to analyze the mechanism of the interaction between pests and plants in cash crops, and analyze the adaptability of pests. She has hosted 4 projects, such as the National Nature Foundation, and published 37 papers.
