Brief bio: In June of 2014, I joined the research team led by Prof. Chuanen Zhou, and engaged in the research on the mechanisms of pulvinus development and nyctinastic leaf movement in Medicago truncatula. The main findings in this study are as follows: 1. Brassinosteroid homeostasis would influence the nyctinastic leaf movement. 2. PLP functions in the determinant of pulvinus formation in a species-specific manner. In the future, I will continue to study the developmental mechanism of pulvinus in Medicago truncatula.

个人简介：2014年进入山东大学周传恩教授课题组攻读博士学位，主要从事蒺藜苜蓿叶枕发育和叶片感夜运动的机制研究。本研究主要发现：1.油菜素内酯BR的体内平衡能够影响叶片感夜运动；2.PLP决定叶枕发育具有物种特异性。后期将继续从事蒺藜苜蓿叶枕发育机制的相关研究。
