On the afternoon of January 8, 2024, Professor WANG Xuelu, Vice President of Henan University, was invited to conduct an academic exchange in the College of Bioscience and Bioengineering. He delivered an academic report titled "Light, energy sensing and nitrogen fixation in soybean". Vice President LIU Muhua presided over the event participated by administrators and teachers from College of Bioscience and Bioengineering, School of Agriculture, etc., and around 100 students.
Professor WANG's team has long concerned themselves about the mechanism of photosynthate, light signal regulation and symbiotic nitrogen fixation. In the lecture, Professor WANG mainly introduced his team's research results published in Science in 2021 and 2022, which revealed the mechanism of light-signal-regulated root nodulation and the new mechanism of how the energy state of soybean root nodule regulates symbiotic nitrogen fixation.
