Where plants,pathogens& microbesmeet 在植物、病原与微生物相遇之处
I am a Ph.D. student in the Kenichi Tsuda lab at Huazhong Agricultural University. I combine multi-omics, microbial ecology, and mechanistic experiments to understand how microbial communities influence plant health and disease outcomes. 我是华中农业大学津田贤一实验室的博士研究生。我结合多组学、微生物生态学与机制实验，研究微生物群落如何影响植物健康与病害结局。
Research question
A living interface under pressure压力之下的生命界面
My work asks how plants recruit, shape, or depend on microbial communities when pathogens enter the system—and how those relationships alter disease outcomes.我的研究关注：当病原进入系统后，植物如何招募、塑造或依赖微生物群落，以及这些关系如何改变病害结局。
I am particularly interested in how microbial members in the phyllosphere influence host health, pathogen behavior, and microbiome-mediated disease outcomes.我尤其关注叶际微生物成员如何影响宿主健康、病原行为，以及由微生物组介导的病害结果。
Methodologically, I connect data-rich approaches with mechanistic questions. That means combining multi-omics and microbial ecology with carefully designed experiments rather than treating any single technique as sufficient on its own.在方法上，我把数据密集型手段与机制问题连接起来，将多组学和微生物生态学与精心设计的实验结合，而不把任何单一技术视为全部答案。

The manuscript went through repeated revisions and a winding path before publication. With Ken's support, it was eventually published under my sole authorship, which made it especially meaningful to me.这篇稿件经历了反复修改与颇为曲折的发表过程，最终在 Ken 的支持下以我唯一作者的身份发表，因此对我而言格外重要。
