新锐奖获奖人 何雨晴

何雨晴，中国科学院植物研究所饲草种质高效设计与利用全国重点实验室王雷课题组博士后。何雨晴主要从事植物生物钟领域的研究，建立了蓝光受体与生物钟组分互作传递光强信号到生物钟的输入途径，揭示了植物生物钟感知光强变化的可能机制，为解析其它生物的Aschoff法则提供了理论借鉴；发现生物钟转录模块协调水稻耐盐性和抽穗期调控的机制，对于培育耐盐又抽穗期提前的水稻品种具有重要的理论意义，并提供了相关种质资源。她的研究扩展了生物钟与光、温环境信号通路间的互作网络，为扩展农作物的环境适应性和优化改良农艺性状提供了新思路。以第一和共同第一作者身份在Nature Communications和Plant Cell & Environment国际著名学术期刊发表论文2篇，以共同通讯作者身份在《植物学报》发表综述1篇，以合作者身份在Molecular Plant、EMBO Journal等期刊发表论文9篇。博士后第一年便成功成为国家自然科学基金青年项目、中国科学院特别研究助理项目和博士后面上项目获得者。

‌He Yuqing‌, a postdoctoral fellow in the Wang Lei research group at the National Key Laboratory of Grassland Germplasm Efficient Design and Utilization, Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, specializes in plant circadian rhythm research.

She established the input pathway by which blue light receptors interact with circadian components to transmit light intensity signals to the biological clock, revealing a potential mechanism for plants to perceive light intensity changes. This provides a theoretical reference for deciphering Aschoff’s law in other organisms. Additionally, she discovered the mechanism by which the circadian transcriptional module coordinates rice salt tolerance and heading date regulation, offering significant theoretical insights and germplasm resources for breeding salt-tolerant rice varieties with earlier heading dates.

Her research expands the interaction network between the circadian clock and light/temperature signaling pathways, providing new perspectives for enhancing crop environmental adaptability and optimizing agronomic traits. She has published 2 papers as first or co-first author in Nature Communications and Plant, Cell & Environment, 1 review as co-corresponding author in Chinese Bulletin of Botany, and 9 collaborative papers in journals such as Molecular Plant and EMBO Journal. In her first year as a postdoc, she successfully obtained funding from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Youth Program), the CAS Special Research Assistant Program, and the China Postdoctoral Science Foundation.
