●讲座主题：Using C₃ models to understand C₄ photosynthesis for crop improvement

●主讲人：Julian Hibberd

Julian Hibberd, Prof. of Plant Sciences in the Department of Plant Sciences, University of Cambridge. Julian received his PhD from University of Wales in 1994, then did Postdoc first in the University of Sheffield and then in University of Cambridge. After this, Julian moved onto become a lecturer in 2000. Julian’s research focuses on studying photosynthesis with the goal of improve photosynthesis for greater efficiency, in particular on understanding how C₄ photosynthesis evolved from the ancestral C₃ state. Julian made many seminal discoveries on the development and evolution of C₄ photosynthesis. These include the finding of characteristics of C₄ photosynthesis in stems and petioles of C₃ flowering plants, finding regulatory motifs in the coding regions of C₄ genes controlling their cell specificity, showing the importance of the chloroplast signaling pathways in the C₄ development, showing the importance of sulfur metabolism in the bundle sheath cell, and recently finding the role of NADPH oxidase in generation of reactive oxygen species in the bundle sheath cell. Recently, Julian’s group shows monocotyledonous plants graft at the embryonic root–shoot interface, challenging a long-held dogma that the lack of vascular cambium precludes grafting in monocot. Julian serves on many academic committees, e.g. Management Board of Sainsbury Laboratory Cambridge University, European Representative for the International Photosynthesis Society, etc. He is an Associate Editor of Plant Physiology. Julian’s research has won him many prestigious recognitions, which include Melvin Calvin Award for Research in Photosynthesis, BBSRC Sir David Phillips Research Fellowship (2000-2005), and being recognized as one of Five Crop Researchers Who Could Change the World.
