Brief bio:

I was graduated from the College of Life Science of Henan Agricultural University with a bachelor’s degree in Bioscience in 2014, and then enrolled the College of Life Science of Capital Normal University major in Cell Biology, and obtained a master’s degree in 2017. Then, I enrolled the College of Agronomy and Biotechnology of China Agricultural University major in Crop Cultivation and Farming System for a doctor’s degree. My research interesting is focus on the molecular mechanism of plant growth and development. I used Arabidopsis thaliana as a model plant to investigate the function of SKIP in the formation and maintenance of SAM, and verified that SKIP mediates the SAM formation and maintenance through the transcriptional regulation of gene expression by interaction with the tissue-specific transcription factor STM.

个人简介：

2014年毕业于河南农业大学生命科学学院生物科学专业获得学士学位，后进入首都师范大学生命科学学院细胞生物学专业攻读硕士学位，于2017年获得硕士学位。之后在中国农业大学农学和生物技术院作物栽培与耕作学专业攻读博士学位，研究方向是植物生长发育调控的分子机制。以拟南芥为模型植物，研究SKIP在SAM形成和维持中的作用，阐明了SKIP通过与组织特异性转录因子STM相互作用，通过转录调控基因表达调节SAM的形成和维持。该项研究对认识STM调控SAM形成分子机制提供了新的认识。
