Brief bio: I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in 2016 from Shaanxi University of Technology, Hanzhong, China. After my graduation, I joined Professor Jian-Zhong Liu’s laboratory at Zhejiang Normal University to pursue a master’s degree in Plant Genetics. My current research project is to understand the roles of MAP kinases as well as a nuclear-localized DnaJ protein in cell death and defense responses in soybean. I am poised to win the National Scholarship because of this publication.
