Brief bio:  In 2020, I conducted research on the molecular mechanism of symbiosis between plants and mycorrhizal fungi under the guidance of Prof. Jiangyun Gao and Prof. Jiajia Han. Orchid mycorrhizal are often highly specific compared with other mycorrhizal , however, the molecular mechanism of orchid mycorrhizal symbiosis is largely unknown. The study of the symbiotic relationship between orchids and fungi has important scientific significance and application prospect for understanding the relationship between plants and fungi. In the future, I will continue to explore the interesting story of mycorrhizal symbiosis.

个人简介：2020年，我有幸进入高江云老师课题组，在韩佳嘉老师指导下，开展植物与菌根真菌共生的分子机制方面的研究。兰科菌根与其他菌根类型相比有着特异性，然而兰科菌根的分子机制在很大程度上是未知的。研究兰科植物与真菌之间的共生关系对于理解植物和真菌相互关系具有重要科学意义和应用前景。后续我也将继续挖掘菌根共生中的有趣故事。
