Brief bio: During postgraduate period, I studied at Stress Biology of Fruit Trees of Northwest A & F University supervised by professor Fengwang Ma, and my study was focused on the prevention and control of apple replant disease. We found that MdERF114, a member of the ERF transcription factor family, positively modulates resistance of apple roots to Fusarium solani. Subsequently, the regulatory defense network of MdERF114 was clarified by Dap-seq, yeast one-hybrid system and yeast two-hybrid system. This study provides new insight into the regulatory mechanisms of apple roots response to F. solani and lays the theoretical foundation for breeding resistant rootstocks and prevention of apple replant disease.

个人简介：研究生在读期间于西北农林科技大学果树逆境生物学团队师从马锋旺教授，主要从事苹果连作障碍防治研究。我们从苹果根系响应腐皮镰孢菌侵染转录组中发现一个ERF转录因子家族成员MdERF114，正向调控苹果根系对腐皮镰孢菌耐受性。并通过Dap-seq、酵母单杂交和酵母双杂交筛库等技术明确了MdERF114调控防御网络，为苹果根系响应腐皮镰孢菌侵染的调控机制提供了新的见解，为培育抗性砧木和防治苹果连作障碍奠定了理论基础。
