Brief bio: I was trained at the National Key Laboratory of Crop Genetic Improvement at the Huazhong Agricultural University, China.  In graduate school, I studied the molecular mechanisms of auxin action in rice in Prof. Yunde Zhao’s Laboratory. I mainly focused on the effects of auxin on the development of panicle and floret in rice. I employed the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology to generate knockout mutants of many putative auxin genes. Some of the CRISPR mutants including ospid displayed very interesting phenotypes. My correct research focuses on developing transgene-free genome editing technologies in plants and applying our newly developed gene editing technologies to study the regulatory networks of auxin-related genes in plants.

科研经历简介：我本科和研究生初期在华中农业大学作物遗传改良国家重点实验室接受植物学研究的相关训练。随后开始在赵云德教授实验室开展生长素在水稻中的分子作用机理相关的研究，其中主要关注的是生长素对水稻穗发育的影响。我利用CRISPR/Cas9基因编辑技术在水稻中创制了一些生长素相关基因的遗传材料，其中一些CRISPR的突变体比如ospid表现出非常有趣的表型。目前我主要的研究重点为植物中无转基因基因编辑技术的开发，以及利用新开发的技术来研究植物中生长素相关基因的互作和调控网络。
