Large-scale instrument and equipment public service platforms including technology platforms.


Introduction to the research team and person in charge


Research team : The research team has long been committed to research on plant light signal transduction and light-controlled plant development. Research directions mainly involve the activation mechanism and signal transduction of plant blue light receptors; ultraviolet light signal transduction and the molecular mechanism of plant adaptation to ultraviolet light stress; screening and identification of green light receptors and green light signal transduction; light in plant growth and development Thermoplasticity. Currently, he is undertaking National Science Foundation Outstanding Youth Fund projects, original exploration projects, key projects, etc. We are now recruiting full-time researchers at home and abroad.

Team leader : Liu Hongtao , School of Life and Marine Sciences, Shenzhen University, Distinguished Professor, Doctoral Supervisor. He has successively won the national key R&D projects, the National Foundation Commission's "Outstanding Youth Fund", "Outstanding Youth Fund", "Key", "Original Exploration", the national "Ten Thousand People Plan" scientific and technological innovation leading talents, and the Ministry of Science and Technology's "Promotion Plan" for young and middle-aged people. Funded by projects such as Leading Talents in Scientific and Technological Innovation, "Hundred Talents Plan" of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, "Excellent Academic Leaders" in Shanghai, and "Pujiang Talents". From long-term research on plant light signal transduction, we have discovered the molecular mechanism of light and temperature cooperatively regulating plant development; revealed the molecular mechanism of plants adapting to changes in UV-B levels and coordinating growth and stress responses; and pioneered the regulation of green light signals. New research directions in plant development. Relevant research has been published as the corresponding author in internationally renowned academic journals such as Cell, Cell Host & Microbe, Developmental Cell, Nature Plants, Nature Structure & Molecular Biology, Nature Communications, EMBO J, PNAS, and Plant Cell. Relevant results have been reviewed by authoritative international academic publications such as Developmental Cell, Nature Plants, NSMB, and Plant Cell. Several papers have been selected as ESI Highly Cited Papers. She serves as the president of the Female Scientists Branch of the Chinese Society of Plant Physiology and Molecular Biology, and an editorial board member of Plant Cell, Current Biology, PNAS, Science China (Life Sciences), JIPB, Plant Communications, aBIOTECH and other magazines.
