Education

B.S. 2015, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, Biology;
Ph.D. 2022, CAS Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences, Genetics.

Professional Experience

Associate Professor, School of Life Sciences, Xiamen University, 2022 to present.

Research Area

Plants are easily influenced by various environmental stress, among which high temperature, drought and salinization are the most severe stress factors leading to the reduction of crops yield. Taking rice and other crops as the main research object, we use genetics, molecular biology, transcriptomics and cell biology to reveal molecular mechanisms of stress resistance genes, thereby providing excellent genetic resources for crops breeding and improvement.
