简介：

Kin Pan Chung，致力于细胞质遗传学研究。2017年于香港中文大学获博士学位，之后在德国马普分子植物生理所从事博士后研究，2024年加入荷兰瓦赫宁根大学任，建立Cytoplasmic Genetics研究组。研究成果多次发表在Nature Plants等高水平期刊，并获得ERC启动资助。

Abstract: In plants, genetic material is stored in the nucleus and the two cytoplasmic organelles: plastids and mitochondria. While both the nuclear and cytoplasmic genomes are essential for plant survival, the inheritance of these genomes is subject to different sets of rules. In most angiosperms, cytoplasmic genomes are transmitted exclusively from the maternal parent. This unique non-Mendelian inheritance pattern has been discovered for decades. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying maternal inheritance remain largely elusive. In this talk, Dr Chung will discuss the mechnism of maternal inheritance of plant chloroplasts and mitochondria.
