Brief bio: I grew up in the countryside. My interest in plants began with the experience of farming with my parents when I was a child. My study and Research on corn during my master’s degree led me into the wonderful world of plants. Therefore, during my master’s degree, I mainly studied the response mechanism of miR169q-NF-YA8 module mediates salt tolerance in maize. In order to further explore the balance between maize growth and development and stress resistance, during my doctor’s period, I focused on the functional study of maize root development and salt stress response.

个人简介：我从小在农村长大，我对植物的兴趣始于小时候跟父母一起务农的经历。硕士期间对玉米的学习和研究，引导我走进了植物的奇妙世界。因此，在硕士期间我主要研究的是玉米miR169q-NF-YA8调控模块在盐胁迫响应中应答机制。为了进一步探究玉米生长发育和抗逆的平衡关系，在博士期间，我关注的是玉米根部发育和盐胁迫逆境响应的功能研究
