Wei Chi:Chloroplast Biogenesis and Regulation
group leader,researcher;
Dr Wei Chi is a professor on photosynthesis and chloroplast biogenesis, the Principal Investigator of key laboratory of photobiology, Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He received his Ph.D. in plant development biology in 2004 at Institute of genetic and developmental biology, CAS and then joined in Institute of Botany, CAS. He became the full professor of CAS in 2013. He has more than 15 papers published on peer-reviewed journals, such as PNAS, Plant Cell, Plant Journal, Plant Physiology etc.  Dr Chi’s current research activities are in three main areas: chloroplast gene expression, thylakoid biogenesis and photosynthetic acclimation.

Chloroplasts are vital for the viability of plants. They are not only the site of photosynthesis, but also play important roles on shaping multiple aspects of plant development. Our goal is how the genetic machineries in the chloroplast and nucleus communicate to produce a functional chloroplast and influence plant development program.  The long-term goal of our study aims to improve the photosynthetic efficiency of crops and utilization of solar energy via the genetic approach.  Currently, we are three studies:
(1) Dissecting the mechanisms underlying chloroplast gene expression and its function in chloroplast biogenesis; (2) dissecting the function of chloroplast in plant developmental program; (3) the dynamic regulation of thylakoid structure and its function in photosynthesis acclimation
