Brief bio: I graduated from Agricultural College of Yangzhou University in 2018 (B.S). During my B.S. study, I had a preliminary understanding of rice cultivation. In the same year, I was honored to join the Rice Cultivation Team of Nanjing Agricultural University under the supervision of Prof. Yanfeng Ding for my master’s degree. In 2020, I applied for master-doctor combined program. I focused on the physiological mechanism of non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) transport in rice leaf sheaths. Our results suggest that SnRK1 mediated regulation of NSC sheath-to-panicle remobilization in response to sucrose availability. This finding provides a new strategy for accelerating the sheath-to-panicle transport of NSC and field in rice.

个人简介：我于2018年本科毕业于扬州大学农学院。在本科学习期间，我初步了解了水稻栽培学。同年，我有幸加入了南京农业大学水稻栽培团队，跟随丁艳锋教授攻读硕士学位。在2020年，我申请了硕博连读。硕博期间的课题是探究水稻叶鞘非结构性碳水化合物（NSC）转运的生理机制。我们的结果表明SnRK1响应蔗糖水平调控水稻叶鞘NSC向穗部转运。这一发现为促进水稻叶鞘NSC转运和提高水稻产量提供了一条新的思路。
