Brief Bio: In 2014, I joined the Key Laboratory of Molecular Epigenetics of the Ministry of Education of Northeast Normal University for my PhD work. I started my journey of scientific learning on how rice plants adapt to salinity stress when I joined the lab of Professor Zheng-Yi Xu’s laboratory. In this study, we found a novel transcriptional regulatory complex composed of chaperon regulator/MYB transcription factor/DNA methylation reader (OsBAG4/OsMYB106/OsSUVH7) governs activation of OsHKT1;5, whose locus corresponds to that of SKC1, which is essential for maintaining K+/Na+ homeostasis under salt stress, and therefore represents a potential tool for improving salt tolerance in crops. In the future, I would like to continue to explore molecular mechanisms of response to stress in rice.

个人简介：我于2014年9月进入东北师范大学分子表观遗传学教育部重点实验室攻读博士学位。博士期间主要在徐正一教授实验室从事水稻响应盐胁迫应答的分子机制研究。在本研究中，我们发现一个由甲基化识别蛋白OsSUVH7、分子伴侣OsBAG4和转录因子OSMYB106组成的蛋白复合体，在盐胁迫条件下，共同调控水稻体内Na⁺/K⁺的核心基因OsHKT1;5的表达。希望在以后的工作中继续从事水稻抗性相关基础研究。
