Brief bio: I am fascinated by the magic of nature, particularly of plants. I always ask myself how can plants be so clever to know everything around them and how can they thrive even under harsh conditions. I have studied for more than 10 years in Huazhong Agricultural University, with a large and beautiful campus located in the central China. My major is Crop Genetics and Breeding. Under the guidance of professors Xianlong Zhang and Xiyan Yang, we found that a calcium sensor CBL2 could recruit a protein kinase CIPK6 to tonoplast, which promote the phosphoration of a downstream tonoplast sugar transporter TST2. Thus, we provide a CBL2-CIPK6-TST2 pathway which is involved in plant sugar homeostasis and abiotic stress resistance. We also find out that this is a conserved pathway in different species. We are looking forward to improving the quality of crop and abiotic stress resistance with this newly research.

个人简介：我对自然界的神秘充满向往与敬畏。从2009年至今，从本科到博士研究生期间我一直就读于华中农业大学植物科学技术学院，在张献龙和杨细燕教授的指导下，以棉花为主要研究材料，以作物遗传改良国家重点实验室作为研究平台，揭示了钙信号转导途径中一条重要的CBL-CIPK通路通过促进下游的液泡糖转运子TST的磷酸化，从而实现对植物糖稳态的调节。本研究还发现该通路在棉花和拟南芥中是保守的。我们期望该研究能为提高作物的品质和抗性提供有价值的线索。
