Brief bio: I started master studies with Prof. Yong Gao in the Yangzhou University in 2019. The function and mechanism of phytochrome interaction factors PIFs in regulating stomatal aperture was the topic of my study. In this study, our work characterized the function of OsPIL15, a negative regulator of red light responses, in regulating stomatal aperture and provided insights into the roles of OsPIL15-OsHHO3-OsABI5 module in mediating stomatal aperture by coordinating the red light and ABA. We also found that PIF-mediated regulation of stomatal aperture may be conserved in the plant.

个人简介：我于2019年进入扬州大学高勇教授课题组开始研究生的学习，主要研究内容是光敏色素互作因子调控气孔孔径的功能和机制。我们的工作描述了OsPIL15（一种红光反应的负调节因子）在调节气孔孔径中的功能，并阐述了OsPIL15-OsHHO3-OsABI5模块通过协调红光和脱落酸（ABA）调节气孔孔径的作用机制。同时，我们还发现PIF介导的气孔孔径调节在植物中可能是保守的。
