 Brief bio: I joined Prof. Jian Feng Ma’s lab at the Institute of Plant Science and Resources, Okayama University in Japan in 2017. I am interested in transporters involved in mineral element uptake and translocation. Now I am working on regulation of mineral element homeostasis in rice. In this study, we report previously uncharacterized rice ZIP family transporter, OsZIP9. Through detailed functional analyses, we found that OsZIP9 is a transporter that contributes to Zn uptake in both Zn-limited hydroponic conditions and in soil. I am enjoying my research now and hope to make better progress in the understanding of mineral transport system in future.

个人简介:

我2017年吉林大学农业资源与环境专业硕士毕业后,有幸进入到日本冈山大学资源植物科学研究所马建锋教授实验室攻读博士学位。我们实验室着重研究矿质营养元素吸收和转运相关的转运体。目前,我主要进行水稻中矿质元素稳态调控的研究。在本研究中,我们发现了一个水稻根吸收锌的转运体OsZIP9。锌是植物生长的必需营养元素。但至今为止,锌吸收的分子机理尚不清楚。本研究通过金属元素转运活性、表达模式、亚细胞定位、组织定位以及突变体在水培/土培中的表型等功能分析,我们发现OsZIP9主要表达于根的外皮层和内皮层,其表达受缺锌上调。在缺锌条件下,对水稻锌的吸收起着重要作用。我非常享受我目前的研究和生活,我希望在未来的研究中发现更多植物矿质元素吸收转运调控的奥秘。
