杨维才 男 博士、研究员、博士生导师

  1984年兰州大学学士。1987年兰州大学硕士。1994年荷兰Wageningen大学博士。1996-年美国Cold Spring Harbor实验室博士后,1996-2000年新加坡国立大学分子农业生物学院博士后。2000-2002年新加坡国立大学分子农业生物学院高级科学家。植物生殖和棉花生物技术实验室主任。2001年中国科学院“百人计划”入选者。2004年国家杰出青年科学基金获得者。



  杨维才博士领导的创新研究组主要研究方向是植物生殖的分子遗传学,尤其是雌配子体发育过程中细胞极性、细胞命运和细胞分化的遗传控制,其目标是利用拟南芥为模式植物来探讨基本发育生物学问题,并以此为模式研究农作物基因功能。主要研究内容:


  1. 植物雌配子体发育
  植物生殖生物学是一门传统学科,传统的研究主要集中于对生殖过程的结构,形态和组织胚胎学描述,由于方法和技术方面的局限,对其分子及遗传机理的研究进展非常缓慢。近年来由于Gene Trap和 Enhancer Trap等插入突变系统的建立和激光共聚焦显微技术的应用。植物生殖生物学的研究逐渐成为研究热点。本研究组研究的领域主要集中在植物雌配子体的发育方面,如孢原细胞和胚囊中卵细胞,中央细胞的命运决定机理等.通过对配子体突变体的遗传分析和基因克隆,了解植物生殖过程中的基因调控及分子机理。对一些基本的生物学现象,如细胞极性、细胞命运的确立及受精机理等进行更深入的研究,了解植物的生殖过程。2004年获得基金委“杰出青年基金”资助。


  2.线粒体和质体生物发生与细胞质遗传
  线粒体和质体与其它细胞器不同, 它们具有自己的遗传物质,同时它们又在很大程度上依赖核基因组。并具有母体遗传的特征,与雄性不育密切相关。本研究组主要研究以下三方面的内容:1)细胞中核基因组、线粒体基因组和质体基因组之间的相互作用;2)质体和叶绿体生物发生的分子遗传调控;3)细胞质遗传与雄性不育。


  
3. 植物生物技术
  
利用模式植物功能基因组学的知识和功能基因, 进行棉花、油菜和水稻等农作物的生物技术改良。
