Brief bio: In 2016, I joined the group of Prof. Aide Wang at Shenyang Agricultural University and applied for the postgraduate and doctoral studies in the same year, mainly engaged in the research on the molecular mechanism and regulation of climacteric fruit ripening. We found that brassinosteroids suppress the climacteric fruit ripening by activating the transcriptional inhibitor BZR1, which suppresses the ACO1 activity and transcription of ethylene-related genes, thereby reducing ethylene production. While studying for a Ph. D., I will continue to study the mechanism related to climacteric fruit ripening, hoping that we can reveal more wonderful stories about fruit development.

个人简介：

我于2016年进入沈阳农业大学王爱德教授团队学习，同年成为一名硕博连读生，主要从事呼吸跃变型果实成熟的相关分子机制与调控研究。我们发现油菜素甾醇诱导转录抑制子BZR1，BZR1抑制ACO1的酶活和乙烯相关基因的转录，降低了乙烯的生成量，从而抑制苹果、梨等呼吸跃变型果实的成熟。博士在读期间，我将继续钻研呼吸跃变型果实成熟的相关机理，希望能够发现更多有关果实发育和成熟的精彩故事。
