Xiong Min: Plant Physiology First Author

Xiong Min, first author of “Brassinosteroids regulate rice seed germination through the BZR1-RAmy3D transcriptional module”

Current position: Lecturer, Yancheng Institute of Technology, Jiangsu, China

Education: Ph.D. from Yangzhou University, Jiangsu, China (2021)

Non-scientific Interests: reading, swimming

Brief bio: I graduated from Yangzhou University in 2015 with a bachelor’s degree in agriculture. Then, I entered the research group of Professor Qiaoquan Liu in Agricultural College of Yangzhou University, and started my postgraduate studies. With the guidance of Professor Qiao-Quan Liu and Professor Qian-Feng Li, I focused on revealing the molecular mechanism of how brassinosteroid and gibberellin coordinate rice seed germination. We hope to establish a phytohormone-mediated molecular network for regulating rice seed germination, which will provide new targets and ideas for improving seed dormancy and germination characteristics through molecular breeding in the future.

简历：我于2015年本科毕业于扬州大学，获得农学学士学位。同年，进入扬州大学农学院刘巧泉教授课题组开始硕士和博士阶段的学习。在导师刘巧泉教授和李钱峰教授的指导和帮助下，我围绕油菜素内酯与赤霉素协同调控水稻种子萌发的分子机制开展研究。我们期望建立较为完善的植物激素介导水稻种子萌发调控的分子网络，为今后利用分子育种手段调控植物激素途径来改良水稻休眠和萌发特性提供新靶标和新思路。
