Brief bio: I joined Prof. Zhaohu Li’s lab at China Agriculture University in 2010 to start my PhD career and work on plant growth regulator. In 2015, I joined Prof. Reuben J. Peters’ lab as a joint PhD student with the support of the China Scholarship Council and worked on the study of Mepiquat chloride working mechanism and rice diterpene phytoalexins projects. In 2017, I continued my research in Peters’ lab as a postdoc fellow with the support of “The International Postdoctoral Exchange Fellowship Program” for 3 years. I just came back to CAU in August-2020. The best thing that has happened to me is having these two respected supervisors the last several years which has changed my life.
