研究方向：主要以水稻、拟南芥等为研究对象，结合生物信息学、遗传学和分子生物学，研究植物受体激酶介导的生长发育和环境响应调控。

个人简介：

蔡文国，出生于1987年06月。博士毕业于柏林自由大学，先后在福建农林大学、中科院上海逆境中心和上海交通大学从事博士后研究工作。

科研成果：

已进行多项植物蛋白激酶功能和信号途径研究，已以第一作者或者共同第一作者在Current Biology和PNAS等期刊发表学术论文十余篇：揭示细胞壁连接受体激酶WAK10参与水稻株高调控的机制 (Cai et al. 2023, Curr Biol)；阐明富亮氨酸受体激酶ASLRK参与水稻脱落酸和干旱响应 (Du et al. 2022, Environ Exp Bot)；发现雷帕霉素靶激酶TOR在拟南芥的光形态建成中在根和茎中不同地响应光和糖信号控制分生组织活性的机理 (Li et al. 2017, PNAS)；证明小G蛋白ROP2介导光对雷帕霉素靶激酶TOR的激活和此调控通路在光形态建成中的作用 (Cai et al. 2017, Plant Signal Behav)；
