Brief bio: With global warming, cotton male reproductive organ developnent processes are threatened by high temperature injury and lead to male sterility. Therefore, in-depth analysis of the mechanism of male reproductive organs sensitivity to high temperature is important for breeding high temperature resistant cotton varieties. During my master’s degree, I mainly studied the GhMYB66-GhMYB4-GhCKI regulatory pathway in response to HT in cotton anther. My Ph.D. thesis focused on the transcriptional regulation mechanism of response to HT at stages of anther development in cotton, and combined with single-cell analysis and high-throughput sequencing technology (such as ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, Hi-C, RNA-Seq, etc.) to construct the gene regulation network of high temperature response in anther and excavate the key high temperature response genes. The results can provide basic theory and gene resources for breeding high temperature resistant cotton varieties.

个人简介：随着全球气候变暖，频繁高温天气对棉花雄性生殖器官的发育造成一定影响，进而导致雄性不育，因此深入解析雄性生殖器官对高温的敏感性机理对培育耐高温棉花品种至关重要。在硕士期间，我主要研究了“GhMYB66-GhMYB4-GhCKI”调控模块在棉花花药对高温胁迫时的应答机制。在博士期间，我主要关注的是棉花花药在高温胁迫下转录调控机制的研究，结合单细胞分析及高通量测序技术（例如ChIP-seq、ATAC-seq、Hi-C、RNA-seq等），构建花药中高温响应的基因调控网络以及挖掘关键高温响应基因。该结果可为培育耐高温棉花品种提供基础理论和基因资源。
