Xinyu Xu, first author of OsYUC11-mediated auxin biosynthesis is essential for endosperm development of rice

Current Position: PhD candidate

Education: Bachelor of management science in rural regional development, Yangzhou University

Non-scientific Interests: swimming, cooking

Brief bio: I graduated from Yangzhou University and started my career as a postgraduate in Professor Chen Chen’s laboratory of Yangzhou University in September 2017. During the postgraduate period, I was mainly engaged in the research on auxin-regulated rice endosperm development, and learned knowledge and skills of plant molecular biology. In this study, we found that OsYUC11 acts as a key player for auxin biosynthesis in the endosperm and the YUC-mediated auxin biosynthesis is essential for grain filling of rice. I am very interested in the current field of research and hoping to strive for further breakthrough in the future research work. In the scientific research work, my tutor, project collaborators and classmates were extremely helpful to me. Taken the opportunity here, I would like to express my sincere thanks to them.

个人简介：我的本科是在扬州大学完成的，并于2017年09月始在扬州大学陈忱教授实验室进行硕博连读。研究生期间，主要从事生长素调控水稻胚乳发育的研究工作，学习并掌握了植物分子生物学方面的知识和技能。在本研究中，我们发现OsYUC11是水稻胚乳生长素生物合成的关键因子，对于水稻胚乳的发育具有重要的调控作用。目前，我在扬州大学攻读博士学位。我对于目前的研究方向充满兴趣，博士毕业后我将继续从事相关方向的研究，希望在以后的研究工作中能够收获更多。在科研工作中，我的导师，项目合作者以及同窗们给予了我很大的帮助，在此，我向他们致以真诚的感谢！
