个人简介/Profile
Dr. Anam Ayyoub is a plant physiologist and molecular biologist specializing in plant stress adaptation and plasmodesmata regulation. She completed her Ph.D. in Botany at Northwest A&F University, China, focusing on drought-dependent regulation of cell-to-cell coupling and the role of NHL12 in Arabidopsis. Her research integrates plant physiology, molecular biology, and live-cell microscopy to understand how environmental stress influences plant development. She earned her M.Phil. and B.S. (Hons.) degrees in Botany from Government College University Faisalabad, Pakistan. Her expertise includes drought stress physiology, ABA signaling, callose deposition, micronutrient chelation (Fe-lysine), antioxidant responses, and nutrient dynamics under abiotic stress. She has contributed to research on silicon-mediated stress tolerance, phosphorus dynamics, and sustainable crop productivity. Dr. Ayyoub has published in leading journals including Journal of Experimental Botany, BMC Plant Biology, Catena, and Frontiers in Plant Science, and serves as a reviewer for several international journals. Her work aims to advance molecular understanding of plant resilience and support climate-smart agriculture.

科研团队/Research Group
Team Name: Metabolic regulation and chemical ecology of compound planting soybeans.
Team leader: Professor Liu Jiang
Team Profile:
Soybean is the most serious crop in China, intercropping and dense planting are effective ways to improve its productivity, but interspecific and intraspecific shade makes soybean yield traits development defective, restricting its yield increase. In view of the special light environment of intercropping soybeans, our team excavated the key genes of shade tolerance that determine and developed the number of seeds, and used molecular, cellular, genetic, biochemical, metabolic physiology and other means to reveal the regulatory mechanism of shade tolerance and reproductive developmental balance. The team has published more than 100 academic papers (including ESI hot papers/highly cited papers, and 4 cover papers) in Plant, Cell & Environment, The Plant Journal, Food Chemistry and other journals, and has won awards such as the China Crop Science and Technology Award, the first prize of Sichuan Science and Technology Progress Award, and the Youth Outstanding Paper Award of the National Soybean Symposium. The team members have presided over more than 10 provincial and ministerial scientific research projects, such as the National Natural Science Foundation of China project, the Sichuan Province Outstanding Young Science and Technology Talents Project, and the merit-based funding (key projects) for overseas students' scientific and technological activities. The laboratory sincerely welcomes young talents with interest, enthusiasm and dreams to join, and looks forward to creating a scientific research journey full of happiness and infinite possibilities with you, revealing the mysteries of life and helping to increase food production
