Liuyin Ma Associate Professor, Fujian A&F University HIST, School of Future Technology, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University
Dr. Liuyin Ma graduated from Northwest A & F University with a bachelor's degree in 2008 and received his Ph.D. from the University of Kentucky in 2013. He joined Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University (FAFU) in 2014 as a an associate professor in Haixia Institute of Science and Technology (School of Future Technology). He is currently the deputy director of Fujian Chinese Fir Engineering Technology Research Center and the chief scientist of the Chinese Fir/Moso Bamboo Nutrition and Environmental Stress Signaling Transduction Project of FAFU. Dr. Ma has long been committed to the research of forest nutrition and signaling transduction. His research mainly focusing on China's unique Chinese fir and moso bamboo, with the main purpose of improving the efficient absorption and utilization of nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients in these two species. His group aims to construct a nitrogen-phosphorus interaction regulation network, characterizing the key regulatory transcription factors and nutrient transporters, to reveal the molecule mechanisms of how Chinese fir/moso bamboo in response to exogenous nitrogen and phosphorus nutrient stress by modulating important traits such as root morphology remodeling. He has published donzens of research articles in journals including PNAS, Plant Physiology, Plant Journal, New Phytologist and etc. He is now a member of the Youth Working Committee of the Chinese Forestry Society and an Early Career Editorial Board Member in Forestry Research.
