研究方向：植物与病原菌的相互作用，主要研究植物免疫的分子机制及其信号转导途径
植物免疫的分子机制
利用模式植物拟南芥，采用遗传学，分子生物学以及生物化学的方法，分离和鉴定植物免疫信号通路中的重要组分，研究植物免疫的分子机理。利用拟南芥与白粉菌及假单胞杆菌互作体系，我们在植物免疫分子机制研究中取得了许多进展。例如，我们发现油菜素甾醇受体BRI1的底物BSK1是免疫受体复合体成员，与病原相关分子模式（PAMPs）受体FLS2互作，调控植物的抗病反应（Shi et al., 2013）；发现钙调素结合的转录因子SR1作为水杨酸信号通路和乙烯信号通路在转录水平调控的一个关键交叉点，精细调控植物的抗性和衰老反应(Nie et al., 2012)；发现26S蛋白亚基RPN1a直接参与植物的先天免疫反应(Yao et al., 2012)；发现在植物中THO/TREX蛋白复合体对mRNA的核质运输的调控作用，发现THO/TREX蛋白复合体的组分HPR1是基础抗性和乙烯信号的重要调节因子(Pan et al., 2012)；此外，我们还发现细胞自噬过程影响白粉病的抗性，并证实自噬过程在植物细胞凋亡的调节中起重要作用( Wang et al.，2011)。我们发现EDR1与MKK4/5互作，揭示MAPK信号通路精细调控植物抗病性的分子机理（Zhao et al., 2014），EDR4通过调控EDR1的亚细胞定位影响植物先天免疫反应（Wu et al., 2015）, 而EDR1通过影响KEG磷酸化调控MKK4/5的积累（Gao et al., 2020）; 我们还发现非典型胞内免疫受体可能监控胞吐复合体成员(Zhao et al., 2015)，而钙依赖蛋白激酶CPK5参与非典型胞内免疫受体激活的抗性反应（Liu et al., 2017）。同时采用遗传学及分子生物学的手段我们还现免疫模式受体复合体的新成员RLK902和LLG1，并解析了RLK902、LLG1、BSK1及EXO70B1调控植物免疫的分子机理（Shen et al., 2017；Yan et al., 2018；Zhao et al., 2019；Wang W. et al., 2020）等。我们将利用已有的研究基础，进一步解析植物抗病反应的信号转导途径和网络调控机制。
2.重要作物病害的抗性机制
稻瘟病是水稻生产上最重要的病害，尽管近近年来对稻瘟病的研究已取得了不少成果，克隆了多个稻瘟病抗性基因，然而，对这些抗性基因的作用机制还很不清楚。我们将利用遗传学、细胞生物学、分子生物学及生化的方法，研究水稻与稻瘟菌的分子互作，鉴定和克隆调控稻瘟病抗性的基因以及稻瘟菌中的效应蛋白，阐明水稻调控抗病反应的分子机制，最近我们已获得一些进展( Li et al., 2020; Hou et al., 2020; Yang et al., 2020)。小麦白粉病和锈病是小麦生产最主要的病害，由于小麦基因组复杂，目前对小麦病害的研究还很不够。我们将以二倍体小麦祖先种乌拉尔图为基础，利用小麦功能基因组学研究中的最新成果，鉴定具有广谱和持久抗性的小麦白粉病及锈病的抗性基因，为小麦抗病育种中提供重要基因资源。我们最近克隆的白粉病及条锈病抗性新基因为解析小麦抗病机理提供了基础(Zhang et al., 2017; Zou et al., 2018; Wang H. et al., 2020) 。
