科研领域
植物研究是农业科学的重要基石。本实验室致力于系统解析表观遗传调控在植物生长发育中的核心作用，重点围绕“表观遗传机制如何通过调控基因的时空特异性转录，进而控制植物发育”这一根本科学问题展开研究，旨在为作物遗传改良提供理论框架。调控植物发育的绝大多数关键基因均受到表观遗传修饰的精确控制。只有深入揭示表观遗传网络动态调控基因表达的机制，才能真正理解植物发育可塑性的分子基础，这也是实现精准分子育种的关键前提。目前，农业领域对植物表观遗传调控体系仍存在显著认知空白：从组蛋白修饰的动态机制、三维染色质结构的组织规律，到表观信息如何转化为基因时空表达模式，均亟待系统阐明。针对这一核心方向，本实验室聚焦于解析组蛋白修饰酶复合体的作用机制及其对染色质结构与基因转录的调控，并建立表观遗传动态变化与发育表型之间的分子网络。
