Brief bio: I joined the School of Agriculture and Biology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2016 and studied under the guidance of Professor Kaijing Zuo. During this period, we focused on the crosstalk between BR- and N-signaling pathways in the regulation of root growth. We found that CML38 interacts with PEPR2, and they negatively regulated root development in Arabidopsis in response to low nitrate. CML38 and PEPR2 regulated the common downstream genes related to BR signaling, and they had positive roles in BR signaling. Moreover, CML38 and PEPR2 played crucial roles in the BR signaling pathway promoted by LN. We will further study the crosstalk between nitrate uptake and hormones.

个人简介：我于2016年进入上海交通大学农业与生物学院，在左开井教授的指导下学习。在此期间，我们重点研究了BR和N信号通路在根系生长调控中的交叉作用机制。我们发现，CML38与PEPR2相互作用并对LN下拟南芥根系发育起负调控作用，同时，CML38和PEPR2调控BR信号相关的基因，在BR信号中起正调控作用，此外，CML38和PEPR2在LN促进的BR信号通路中起关键作用。我们将进一步研究硝酸盐吸收和激素之间的关系
