Prof. Chang Ermei joined the Research Institute of Forestry, Chinese Academy of Forestry in 2012 and engaged in research on the longevity mechanism and clone reproduction of ancient trees.
She explained the molecular mechanism of the lignification of the callus of ancient Platycladus orientalis that hinders the rooting of cuttings, and initially established an efficient vegetative breeding technology system for ancient trees. I collected germplasm resources of ancient ancient trees such as Platycladus orientalis, Juniperus chinensis, and Ginkgo biloba.
She conducted analysis and research on the communities of pathogenic bacteria in tree holes of ancient trees, and participated in the rejuvenation of many important ancient trees in Beijing and other areas.
Since she got her current job, she has presided over 10 projects, including 2 from the National Natural Science Foundation of China. She has published 21 papers in domestic and foreign journals as the first and corresponding author, including 14 SCI papers. She has been authorized as the first inventor to have 5 invention patents related to ancient trees. She has co-edited 5 books and have been recognized as possessing 1 scientific research achievement. She was the chief editor of the undergraduate textbook"Physiology and Ecology of Ancient Trees".
