个人简历

2010年毕业于中国科学院遗传与发育生物学研究所，获得博士学位，期间在英国Glasgow大学Jenkins I. Gareth教授实验室交流学习3个月；毕业后在中国科学院遗传与发育研究所农业资源研究中心工作，2015年9月份加入华中农业大学植物科技学院

研究领域

1．大豆根系可塑性发育及根瘤固氮的调控机制研究
大豆根系构型的可塑性发育对逆境胁迫下的地上部分的养分供给，分枝，落花及籽粒的饱满都起着重要作用。通过利用正反向遗传学手段结合生物信息学技术，解析大豆根尖分生区和根瘤的发育调控机制。
2．大豆地上信号调控根瘤发育及固氮的机制研究
大豆根瘤发育以及固氮机制是一个复杂的过程，地上信号对大豆结瘤固氮起着调控作用；通过分析地上部表达的蛋白质功能以及对根部结瘤的调控机理，将揭示大豆结瘤/固氮过程中地上地下信息的整合和交流机制
