Guo Xiaoyu‌, Associate Researcher at the Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and recipient of the Beijing Nova Program, has long been dedicated to elucidating the molecular mechanisms of rice cold tolerance. By integrating multidisciplinary approaches such as genetics, biochemistry, and structural biology, she has identified key cold-tolerant genes with breeding potential and deciphered the molecular mechanisms underlying plant perception and response to low-temperature signals. Her research provides crucial theoretical support for understanding plant cold tolerance and offers valuable genetic resources for the genetic improvement and molecular design breeding of cold-resistant crops.

To date, she has published 10 first-author (including co-first-author) papers in prestigious domestic and international journals, including The EMBO Journal, Science Bulletin, Molecular Cell, and Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, and has contributed to multiple collaborative papers in journals such as Cell, Molecular Cell, and Molecular Plant. Her SCI-indexed papers have been cited over 1,700 times. She has also applied for and obtained 2 national patents.

Notably, in 2025, she published a review in Science Bulletin on the regulatory mechanisms of rice growth and tolerance balance and their applications in molecular design breeding, systematically outlining the latest strategies and prospects in the signaling networks of abiotic stress regulation and molecular design breeding. Additionally, her 2018 review article in JIPB on "Signal transduction of plant cold perception" has been consistently recognized as an ESI Top 1% highly cited paper for multiple years. These two reviews have provided theoretical foundations and innovative insights for research in this field.
