I am Xu Hongli, admitted in 2022 to the Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences (co-trained with Yunnan University), to pursue an academic Master's degree. In October of the same year, I joined the Seed Molecular Ecology research group and am mentored by Professor Cao Dechang. My primary research focus within the Seed Molecular Ecology group is on the principles and technologies behind tobacco-promoted seed germination. I have a strong interest in life sciences and look forward to engaging in discussions with like-minded individuals.
