Brief Bio:

In 2014, I entered the Department of Life Science and Technology of Kunming University to study, which cultivated my keen interest in biology and planted a seed of science in my heart. In 2018, I had the honor to join the team of professor Gao Jiangyun in Yunnan University as a postgraduate student. I followed associate professor Han Jiajia to carry out research on the symbiotic relationship between orchid plants and mycorrhizal fungi. After more than three years of research and exploration, our study revealed that S. indica is widely compatible with orchids and that ADH and its related hypoxia-responsive pathway are involved in establishing successful symbiotic relationships in germinating orchids. At present, I have been employed in Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of Chinese Academy of Sciences and undertaken the biological monitoring work, which opens another chapter in my story with plants. I hope I can find more wonderful stories about plants.

个人简介:

2014年，我进入昆明学院生命科学与技术系学习，培养了我对生物学的浓厚兴趣，并在我的心里埋下了一颗科学的种子。2018年，我有幸以硕士研究生的身份进入云南大学高江云研究员的团队，跟随韩佳嘉副研究员开展兰科植物与菌根真菌的共生关系的研究。经过三年多的研究与探索，我们发现了一株真菌印度梨形孢可以与多种兰科植物建立共生关系，乙醇脱氢酶及其相关的低氧应答途径参与了兰科植物种子共生萌发过程中的共生关系建立。目前，我已在中国科学院西双版纳热带植物园入职并且承担生物监测工作，开启了我与植物的故事的又一个新篇章。希望我能发现更多关于植物的精彩故事。
