Crop Pathogen Immunity

Biography

I graduated from China Agricultural University with a master's degree in plant pathology. Due to the passion for mechanism research of plant-microbe interactions, I join Lida Derevnina's group as an Academic Visitor to characterise immune receptor networks in sweet potato and study secreted proteins from root-knot nematodes that manipulate host plants, ultimately advancing our understanding of crop disease resistance.
