Brief bio:

In 2014, I joined the research group of Prof. Lixin Zhang in Institute of Botany-Chinese Academy of Sciences (IB-CAS) to pursue the MD-PhD degree. My research direction is the molecular mechanisms of photosynthetic-acclimation of higher plants in response to fluctuating light conditions. We found that Lumen Thiol Oxidoreductase1 (LTO1) introduces the disulfide bond into the thylakoid protein kinase STN7 in the lumenal side to maintain the phosphorylation activity. This kinase activity is required for state transitions, which can be used as a rapid light-acclimation mechanism in response to the fluctuating light conditions. Hopefully, we will explore more exciting discoveries in the scientific field of light-acclimation in the future.

个人简介：我于2014年进入中国科学院植物研究所攻读硕士和博士学位，师从张立新研究员。我的研究方向是波动光条件下高等植物进行光适应的分子机制。我们发现腔侧巯基氧化还原酶LTO1可以促进类囊体蛋白激酶STN7的囊腔侧形成二硫键并维持其磷酸化活性；而这一活性对于状态转换是十分重要的，后者可以作为一种快速的光适应机制以响应环境中光照条件的波动变化。未来，我们希望在高等植物的光适应机制领域有更精彩的发现。
