Brief bio：

I graduated from Zhejiang Agriculture and Forestry University with a bachelor’s degree in Agronomy in 2016. Then I was admitted to Beijing Forestry University to study for a master’s degree in genetics and transferred to study for a doctor’s degree in forest genetics and breeding. As a graduate student, my tutors are Professor Shihui Niu and Yue Li. My research direction is conifer genetic improvement, and our study mainly focus on the regulation mechanism of childhood and reproductive development of Pinus tabuliformis. We firstly analyzed the regulatory module of the ageing pathway in conifers, and elucidated the molecular mechanism by which the age marker DAL1 interacts directly with MADS11 to precisely transform the ageing signal into the reproductive development signal in adult tissues. This study provided a molecular target for the research and development of new technology of juvenile regulation in conifers.

个人简介：

2016年毕业于浙江农林大学林业专业获得学士学位，后考入北京林业大学遗传学专业攻读硕士学位，硕博连读转入林木遗传育种专业于2021年获得博士学位。硕博连读期间导师是钮世辉和李悦老师，研究方向是针叶树遗传改良，主要关注主要关注于油松的童期与生殖发育调控机制研究。本团队解析了针叶树首个年龄通路调控模块，阐明针叶树年龄标志因子DAL1通过与MADS11直接相互作用，将年龄信号在成年组织中精确转换为生殖发育信号的分子机制。为针叶树童期调控新技术的研发提供了分子靶标。
