To whom it may concern,

As the supervisor of Li Zhen's doctorate study, I am writing to express my enthusiastic support for
Li Zhen in his application for a postdoctoral position within your esteemed Department. I have
had the privilege of working closely with him for 4 years and have been consistently impressed
with his dedication, intellect, and research acumen.

During his 4 years of Ph.D. study, Li Zhen has been mainly engaged in the study of rice genes
related to the regulation of rice grain shape and plant architecture. Li Zhen has exhibited an
exceptional ability to learn and operate. He has mastered the experimental skills related to
protein-protein interactions and protein-DNA interactions, such as Y2H, BiFC, Pull-down, CoIP,
Y1H, EMSA, and LUC.

Li Zhen was awarded the Shenyang Agricultural University Academic Scholarship in 2022, and he
is also a relatively productive Ph.D. He published an article with Shenyang Agricultural University
as the first correspondence address.

In addition to his academic strengths, Li Zhen possesses excellent communication skills. He has
also proven to be an effective collaborator, fostering a collaborative and intellectually stimulating
research environment. He has effectively communicated complex concepts to both peers and
non-experts, showcasing his ability to disseminate research findings effectively.

I am confident that Li Zhen will make significant contributions to your research team and thrive in
the dynamic and challenging environment at your department. His passion for plant molecular
biology and proven track record make him an ideal candidate for the postdoctoral position.

Should you require any further information or have questions, please feel free to contact me.

Thank you for considering my strong endorsement of Li Zhen. I am certain that he will be an
invaluable asset to your research program, and I wholeheartedly recommend him for the
postdoctoral position.

Yours sincerely,
Professor of Crop Science
