Woohoo! 🎉 Our preprint is out!
We studied an underexplored plant enzyme, ACC oxidase, and uncovered a new regulatory mechanism that controls ethylene biosynthesis.
Huge thanks to all co-authors and to my amazing supervisors, Dr Ivanhoe Leung and @hikemaydon.bsky.social!🙌🌱

My poster at ICG-20 (Hangzhou, China) won a prize and earned a 15-minute talk slot on the final day, where I presented my research on integrative single-cell, multiomics, and spatial transcriptomics analysis during seed germination.
