Biography
Male, born in November 1977, PhD, researcher (youth), doctoral tutor. From 1996 to 2000, he studied at Henan Agricultural University with a bachelor's degree in agronomy. From 2001-2006, he attended China Agricultural University and obtained his doctorate of science. 2007-2012 Ph.D. in Pennsylvania State University. 2013 hired as Fudan University School of life science researcher (youth); Shanghai Pujiang scholars.
Research Interest
Taking the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and the important crops of rice and maize as materials, the following aspects of plant reproductive biology are studied in the aspects of molecular genetics, cell biology, genome, proteomics and bioinformatics: 1. Molecular mechanisms of homologous chromosome recombination and segregation during mitosis; 2. Molecular genetic basis for plant heterosis; 3. Functional analysis of cell wall during microspore development.
