Yaxiu Xu: Plant Physiology First Author

Yaxiu Xu, first author of “Exogenous Ca2+ Promotes Transcription Factor Phosphorylation to Suppress Ethylene Biosynthesis in Apple”

Current Position: Ph. D. candidate, College of Horticulture, Shenyang Agriculture University, Shenyang, China

Education: B.S. (2015) and M.S. (2018) from Shenyang Agricultural University

Non-scientific Interests: Movie and swimming

Brief bio: In 2015, I joined the group of Prof. Aide Wang and Tong Li at Shenyang Agricultural University and applied for the postgraduate and doctoral studies. I mainly focused on the research on the molecular mechanism and regulation of climacteric fruit ripening. We found that Ca²⁺-mediated phosphorylation of the transcription factor MdMADS5 and the ethylene synthase MdACO1 inhibited ethylene biosynthesis in apple fruit. In the future, I will continue to study whether Ca²⁺ can regulate fruit ethylene biosynthesis through other Ca²⁺ receptor proteins, hoping that we can reveal more interesting stories about this.

个人简历：

2015年，我进入沈阳农业大学王爱德教授和李通副教授的团队，攻读硕士和博士学位，主要从事呼吸跃变型果实成熟的相关分子机制与调控研究。我们发现Ca²⁺介导的转录因子MdMADS5和乙烯合酶MdACO1的磷酸化抑制了苹果果实乙烯的生物合成。我将继续研究Ca²⁺是否可以通过其他Ca²⁺受体蛋白调节果实中乙烯的生物合成，希望我们可以发现更多关于这方面的精彩故事。
