Brief bio: I joined Prof. Chao-Feng Huang’s lab in 2013 to pursue a Ph.D. During my Ph.D. period, I was trying to decipher the regulatory mechanisms of STOP1, which is an essential transcription factor for aluminum resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana. We found that SUMOylation, a post-translational modification, is involved in the regulation of STOP1 and aluminum resistance. In the future, we want to uncover additional layers of post-translational regulatory mechanisms of STOP1 and dissect the interaction among these potential regulatory mechanisms.

个人简介：我于2013年加入黄朝锋教授实验室攻读博士学位。在此期间，我试图解析拟南芥关键抗铝毒转录因子STOP1的调控机制。我们发现翻译后修饰中的SUMO化参与调控STOP1和植物抗铝毒。将来我们想解析STOP1更多的翻译后修饰调控机制以及明晰这些调控机制之间的互作关系。
