研究方向
光不僅是植物進(jìn)行光合作用的能量源泉，而且是調(diào)控植物生長發(fā)育的重要環(huán)境因子。喜陽植物在遮蔭條件下會誘發(fā)避蔭綜合癥，其主要癥狀是將能量重新分配，用于伸長生長，從而獲得更多的陽光。盡管避蔭反應(yīng)對單個植株的適應(yīng)與生存是有利的，但是由于避蔭反應(yīng)會削弱植物葉片和儲藏器官的發(fā)育，因此對提高大面積種植的作 物產(chǎn)量是不利的。此外，避蔭綜合癥還會導(dǎo)致植物抗病性的降低，引進(jìn)進(jìn)一步的減產(chǎn)。致力于植物對光和遮蔭信號的應(yīng)答機(jī)制的研究。利用模式植物擬南芥和遺傳學(xué)、生物化學(xué)、分子生物學(xué)等方法研究植物調(diào)控光反應(yīng)的分子機(jī)制，發(fā)掘新的調(diào)控基因。
