Brief bio: In 2015, I joined the School of Life Sciences of Lanzhou University for my postgraduate work in Professor Yun Xiang’s laboratory. During the Master’s and Doctor’s period, I was mainly engaged in the research on the Arabidopsis thaliana pollen tube growth. In this study, we demonstrated that the P4-ATPase ALA3 in the Arabidopsis pollen tube is involved in the regulation of the polar distribution of phosphatidylserine (PS), and PS participates in the polar growth of the pollen tube by regulating the polar localization of some Rab GTPases. The current research project is of full interest and excitement, and I expect to make more improvement and harvest its fruits soon.

个人简介：我于2015年进入兰州大学生命科学学院向云教授实验室攻读博士博士学位。我在研究生阶段主要从事了拟南芥花粉管生长发育相关的研究。在本研究中，我们证明拟南芥花粉管中的P4-ATPase ALA3参与调控PS的极性分布，而PS通过调控某些Rab GTPases的极性定位来参与花粉管的极性生长。目前的研究生生活充实又快乐，我期待在不远的将来能够取得更好的进展和收获。
