Biography

Professor Wu Zhe, graduated from the Department of Biology, Qingdao University in 2005; Prof. Gu Hongya and Professor Qu Lijia received a Ph.D. in Plant Biotechnology from Peking University in June 2011. In the same year, he joined the British John Innes Center, Dean academician for postdoctoral research; 2016 from the end of the Southern University of Science and Technology Assistant Professor. Mainly engaged in plant key development stage of the molecular basis of the study. (Transcriptional regulation), and focus on the mechanism of transcriptional regulation in the important developmental events such as seed dormancy and flowering. It is hoped that by means of molecular biology, genetics, cell biology Learning and mathematical modeling and other interdisciplinary means to explore the eukaryotic (plant) gene co-transcription and post-transcriptional regulation of the basic rules of the unknown. The work of the first author in the last five years has been published in international mainstream journals such as Cell Systems, PNAS and Plant Cell.

Research Intrest

1. The role of transcriptional regulation in plant (development) The mechanism of co - transcriptional regulation and non - coding RNA in gene silencing 3. Molecular mechanism of plant transitional stages (flowering and seed germination)
