涂礼莉 女，1997年考入casino365sport365作物遗传育种专业学习。2001-2007年在华中农业大学作物遗传改良国家重点实验室进行硕博阶段学习和研究，方向为棉花分子生物学。毕业后留校任教并继续在作物遗传改良国家重点实验室进行棉花纤维发育机制方面的研究。
            
棉纤维是棉花的主要产出形式，是重要的天然纤维。能让棉纤维又长又细又强是所有棉花育种和分子生物学研究者的目标。棉纤维是种子表皮毛，最长的植物单细胞之一，纤维素沉积达90%以上。棉纤维是研究细胞分化，伸长及次生壁合成的良好材料。我们的研究旨在解析棉纤维的发育机制，克隆优质纤维基因，为棉纤维的改良打下基础。目前的研究方向主要有以下4个方面：
            
1. Ca2+信号调控纤维伸长和次生壁合成机理
Ca2+/CaM信号系统在细胞发育过程非常重要，同时Ca2+可以和果胶结合影响细胞壁刚性，从而影响细胞的伸长。以转基因棉花为材料，通过上调和下调GhCaM7的表达，发现GhCaM7可以上调ROS促进纤维的早期伸长；抑制膜联蛋白Annexin GhAnn2的表达的转基因棉花，纤维变短细胞壁变薄，纤维顶端Ca2+内流降低且钙离子信号发生了变化。目前已将钙信号感应器转入到棉花中，我们将详细的研究Ca2+的动态变化，及Ca2+/CaM信号网络的关键节点及调控机制，并期望精细调控Ca2+来调控纤维的发育及品质。
            
2.类黄酮等次生代谢途径与纤维发育
育成五彩缤纷且品质优良的彩色棉花一直是棉花遗传育种研究者的一个重要目标。类黄酮是植物重要的次生代谢物质，与色素形成相关。棕色棉纤维色素物质可能主要是氧化的原花青素。棉花人工驯化过程中，类黄酮代谢途径在白色棉花中下调，但白色棉花表达谱数据显示类黄酮代谢相关基因在纤维发育过程中仍然非常活跃。类黄酮含量与纤维品质可能负相关，我们的研究表明柚皮素（NAR）和二氢山柰酚（DHK）可能是抑制纤维发育的主要类黄酮。类黄酮代谢和木质素代谢有共同的代谢前体，木质素代谢相关基因在纤维发育过程中也很活跃，有效调控类黄酮代谢的同时协调木质素代谢的水平可能会促进纤维发育。我们将通过转基因棉花对类黄酮代谢的关键基因表达调控，对类黄酮和纤维发育直接的关系进行详细的解析。
            
 3.纤维发育的激素、转录因子及miRNA调控网络
 激素的角色是发号司令，而转录因子及miRNA传递及修饰信号。我们主要关注小肽等激素，发现磺钠肽PSK通过调控K+及ROS促进纤维发育。还发现合适浓度的JA促进纤维伸长。我们克隆了纤维不同发育时期特异、优势表达的转录因子，其中已有的结果表明下调转录因子TCP的表达抑制纤维的伸长，表达谱结果表明TCP通过影响JA信号途径的基因的表达来调控纤维发育。通过小片段RNA和降解组测序及转基因棉花验证miRNA揭示了miRNAs及其靶标在棉花纤维发育中的功能，在纤维细胞快速伸长期特异抑制miRNA157导致了成熟纤维细胞变短。我们将在已有的研究基础上继续深入，勾画出纤维发育的调控网络。
            
4.细胞次生壁合成与纤维发育
棉花纤维5个连续而又先后重叠发育时期决定了纤维的品质。其中次生壁合成不仅决定了纤维的细度和强度还决定了纤维的长度。已有的研究表明次生壁的适当推后延长了纤维的伸长时间，成熟纤维变长。棉纤维次生壁属性和次生壁合成调控目前还鲜有研究，我们实验室已经得到了一系列细胞壁蛋白及多糖合成相关基因的转基因棉花。已发现其中一个细胞壁蛋白Expansin可以促进纤维变长变细，这个Expansin是海岛棉特异表达且缺失一个结构域。
