2006年在武汉大学生命科学学院获学士学位;2013年在中国科学院遗传与发育生物学研究所获博士学位;2014至2022年先后在约翰·英纳斯中心(John Innes Centre)和剑桥大学塞恩斯伯里实验室(The Sainsbury Laboratory, University of Cambridge)从事博士后研究。现任中国科学院植物研究所研究员。
主要研究方向:
本课题组以豆科饲草紫花苜蓿和模式植物蒺藜苜蓿为主要材料,聚焦于植物-微生物共生提升营养利用效率和耐逆性的分子机理,挖掘优异基因资源,为创制优质、高产、耐逆的苜蓿新种质提供基因和材料支撑。主要研究方向包括:
- 解析环境因子-苜蓿-丛枝菌根真菌互作的分子调控网络
- 探索根际微生物群体在苜蓿生长发育、养分利用和耐受逆境胁迫中的功能及作用机理
