Rice epigenomes: interaction and reprogramming
during plant development
Dao-Xiu Zhou Ph.D
Institute of Plant Science Paris-Saclay, University Paris-sud 11, France
Professor Dao-Xiu Zhou obtained his PhD from the University of Grenoble (France) and worked as a postdoctoral fellow in UCSF (USA, 1988-1991), research faculty in CNRS (France, 1991-1996), and professor at the University of Amiens (France, 1996-2000). He is a Professor at the University of Paris-sud (from 2000) and a visiting professor and Chang-Jiang Scholar at Huazhong Agricultural University (Wuhan).
Professor Dao-Xiu Zhou’s research focuses on plant epigenetics and plant development. He did a serial work on plant histone modification and recognition mechanisms in gene expression reprogramming during development and response to stresses. His work contributes to the characterization of rice epigenomes and their establishment, recognition, and resetting mechanisms.
