研究方向
植物光形態建成與逆境應答
光不但為植物提供光合作用所需的能量,而且還作為重要的環境信號,調控植物生長和發育的多個過程,比如種子萌發、幼苗去黃化(seedling de-etiolation)、避蔭反應、開花,等等。植物通過不同家族的光受體(photoreceptors)感受不同波長的光,其中光敏色素(phytochromes)特異感受紅光(600-700 nm)與遠紅光(700-750 nm)。擬南芥的基因組一共編碼5個光敏色素蛋白(phyA-phyE),其中phyA是主要的遠紅光受體,phyB是主要的紅光受體。實驗室通過結合分子、生化和細胞生物學的方法,研究遠紅光信號如何在植物中進行傳遞,以及光信號與植物逆境應答反應的互動作用(cross-talk)等。
1.光敏色素A(phyA)信號傳導途徑的分子機理
野生型(wild-type, WT)擬南芥的幼苗在黑暗下發育出較長的下胚軸(hypocotyl)和閉合的子葉(cotyledon),但是在遠紅光下則展現出較短的下胚軸和張開的子葉;然而,phyA突變體無法感受到遠紅光信號,在遠紅光下發育出黑暗下的表型,即具有較長的下胚軸和閉合的子葉(見下圖)。
經過多年的研究,儘管人們已經發現了phyA信號傳導途徑的幾個關鍵調控因子,但是已知信號通路中還缺少很多的連線點,暗示還有許多重要的調控因子未被發現。但是,傳統的通過篩選T-DNA插入突變體的方法已經很難篩選到新的調控因子。因此,實驗室將嘗試通過篩選activation-tagging的擬南芥突變體庫,篩選在遠紅光下具有長下胚軸表型的突變體。確定突變基因後,將嘗試闡述突變基因在phyA信號傳導途徑中的工作機理。
2.光信號傳導與植物逆境應答反應的互動作用
已有的研究表明,光信號傳導途徑與植物逆境應答反應存在著互動作用;然而,人們對此知之甚少。實驗室將對光信號傳導途徑的多個突變體進行逆境(鹽、旱和低溫)處理,從而推斷哪些突變基因可能參與了光與逆境應答反應的互動作用。隨後,通過一系列分子、生化和細胞生物學的方法,將嘗試闡述這些基因介導光與逆境互動作用的分子機理。
