Biography
During undergraduate study, Jieyu was aware of the importance of agriculture, and tried to act out her belief that “Food science is to make a better world”. To achieve this lifetime research goal, she joined State Key Laboratory of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry from Zhejiang University, and received her Ph.D. in 2013. Jieyu’s graduate research revealed that phosphorylation of rice phosphate (Pi) transporters was critical for their intracellular trafficking in response to Pi-stress, which suggest a potential breeding strategy to develop crop plants with enhanced Pi uptake efficiency.
