研究领域
1.植物激素糖基化修饰与生长发育。激素的糖基化修饰是激素代谢修饰的一种重要方式,能够影响激素活性,调节激素动态平衡,控制植物生长发育。本方向将以拟南芥、水稻、玉米等为实验材料,通过遗传学、分子生物学、生物化学等研究手段,紧紧围绕植物激素这一重要方向,克隆与植物激素相关的糖基转移酶基因,鉴定酶的糖基化修饰活性,研究糖基转移酶基因在植物体内调节激素活性和植物生长发育的分子机制。 2.植物小分子糖基化与植物抗逆。植物的非生物胁迫反应中涉及大量的分子糖基化修饰过程,本方向将重点围绕植物抗盐、抗旱、抗高低温、抗病等胁迫抗性,克隆与这些抗性相关的糖基转移酶基因,研究它们与胁迫抗性的关系和信号通路,为重要经济作物的抗逆育种奠定理论基础和技术基础。 3.植物分子糖基化与能源生物质的改良。植物来源的木质纤维素通过纤维素降解和发酵可产生化石能源的替代品—乙醇,生物质能源对于解决当前的能源危机具有重要意义。本研究方向将围绕细胞壁木质纤维素的改造,克隆鉴定与木质素、纤维素合成有关的糖基转移酶基因,研究这些基因对于植物木质素、纤维素等物质合成的调节作用,提高植物来源的木质纤维素的发酵效率,创造新型高效的能源生物质。
