Brief bio: I started to take a great interest in the roles of circadian clock molecular system in plants growth and development during my post-graduate study. I learned that the circadian clock provides time cues for the growth and development of plants through the perception and prediction of the diurnal cycle of the environment. Our research findings indicate that the circadian clock can sense and transmit day length information to control the rhythm of hypocotyl growth under photoperiod conditions. At present, I am working on the PRR gene family, which is a core component of the circadian clock. It integrates time signals to achieve the regulation of Arabidopsis morphogenesis and response to environmental stimuli.

简介：研究生期间，我开始对生物钟分子系统在植物生长发育中的作用产生了浓厚的兴趣。我了解到，植物生物钟通过感知和预测环境的昼夜循环，为植物的生长发育提供时间线索。我们的研究结果表明，在光周期条件下，植物生物钟可以感知和传递昼夜长度信息来控制下胚轴的生长节律。目前，我主要在研究植物生物钟的核心组成部分PRR基因家族，他们通过整合时间信号，调控拟南芥形态发生及对环境刺激的反应。
