科研領(lǐng)域
植物研究是農(nóng)業(yè)科學的重要基石。本實驗室致力于系統(tǒng)解析表觀遺傳調(diào)控在植物生長發(fā)育中的核心作用,重點圍繞“表觀遺傳機制如何通過調(diào)控基因的時空特異性轉(zhuǎn)錄,進而控制植物發(fā)育”這一根本科學問題展開研究,旨在為作物遺傳改良提供理論框架。調(diào)控植物發(fā)育的絕大多數(shù)關(guān)鍵基因均受到表觀遺傳修飾的精確控制。只有深入揭示表觀遺傳網(wǎng)絡(luò)動態(tài)調(diào)控基因表達的機制,才能真正理解植物發(fā)育可塑性的分子基礎(chǔ),這也是實現(xiàn)精準分子育種的關(guān)鍵前提。目前,農(nóng)業(yè)領(lǐng)域?qū)χ参锉碛^遺傳調(diào)控體系仍存在顯著認知空白:從組蛋白修飾的動態(tài)機制、三維染色質(zhì)結(jié)構(gòu)的組織規(guī)律,到表觀信息如何轉(zhuǎn)化為基因時空表達模式,均亟待系統(tǒng)闡明。針對這一核心方向,本實驗室聚焦于解析組蛋白修飾酶復合體的作用機制及其對染色質(zhì)結(jié)構(gòu)與基因轉(zhuǎn)錄的調(diào)控,并建立表觀遺傳動態(tài)變化與發(fā)育表型之間的分子網(wǎng)絡(luò)。
