主要研究方向： 

以紫花苜蓿、蒺藜苜蓿等饲草作物为主要材料，聚焦植物耐逆性与产量协同提升这一关键科学问题，系统解析非生物胁迫下气孔动态调控、叶器官发育可塑性及受体激酶信号网络三大核心机制，旨在创制兼具耐逆和高产特性的饲草新种质。

主要研究内容：

1. 苜蓿气孔动态调控机制：整合气孔发育与开合调控网络，阐明气孔开闭动态与水分利用效率、光合效率的协同作用机制，建立气孔优化调控的分子设计育种体系；

2. 叶器官可塑性调控通路：系统解析干旱等非生物胁迫下苜蓿叶片形态建成的可塑性调控网络，揭示叶器官发育可塑性介导的耐逆-产量平衡调控机制；

3. 受体激酶介导的胁迫响应网络：解析受体激酶介导的非生物胁迫响应机制，挖掘苜蓿中协调植物生长发育与胁迫响应的调控模块，为精准分子设计育种提供关键靶点。
