a month later.

Lu Shixian successfully completed a thesis titled "The Role of Polar Transport of Auxin in Embryo Development and Leaf Bilateral Symmetry".

This thesis took a month, although the time is not long, but it contains his hard work.

Members of Professor Tang's project team witnessed all the process of his thesis completion.

Generally speaking, under the guidance of a supervisor, it only takes ten days to complete a qualified master's thesis.

However, Lu Shixian did not choose to ask for help, but completed this difficult paper independently.

It took him a lot of energy in 30 days from topic selection to experiment to final paper.

But the results obtained are also gratifying.

"Junior Brother Lu, you are amazing! From my point of view, the level of your graduation thesis should not be a big problem for SCI." A mature-looking adult man couldn't help admiring.

His name is Xue Licheng, and he is the oldest student in Professor Tang Lifeng's research group. As a big brother in the laboratory, he has given him a lot of help in the past month or so.

At this time, he asked Lu Shixian curiously: "When are you going to defend?"

The senior brothers and sisters on the side, especially Wang Xiaoxiao, all turned their heads, wanting to know the answer to the question.

The rumors they heard in the past few days gave them a premonition in their hearts.

Lu Shixian thought for a while, and gave his own answer: "It should be in the next few days that I will apply to the college for defense."

"Although the dissertation has been completed, some preparations for the defense have not yet been made."

Everyone nodded, understanding his approach very well.

Although after becoming a full-time scientific research worker, the difficulty of passing a graduation thesis is a bit pediatric.

But its meaning is different after all, and it can be regarded as an important life node.

three days later.

Lu Shixian applied to the Graduate School of Yanda School of Life Sciences to participate in the graduation defense in advance.

The application was quickly approved by the degree evaluation committee of the college.

After the college prepared this special defense meeting, Lu Shixian was notified to participate in the defense one week later.

He has no objection to this. It takes seven days to invite the defense judges, arrange the defense venue, communicate and coordinate, prepare for the preparatory meeting, and familiarize yourself with the defense procedures. It is considered extremely efficient.

Soon, under the appreciative eyes of several defense judges, Lu Shixian walked onto the defense platform alone.

This is a scene specially prepared for him.

After receiving the invitation letter from Yanda, the three judges sitting below specially took half a day to come and see this new academic star who has been arguing a lot recently.

The grade of this thesis defense is higher than that of the last undergraduate graduation.

Academician Gao Defeng, the main defense judge, is from the National Institute of Disease Control, Huaguo Academy of Sciences.

The rest of the judges are Professor Huang Weifeng, School of Life Sciences, Huaguo Agricultural University, and Professor Li Yanqing, Professor, School of Life Sciences, Shuimu University.

Generally speaking, in order to highlight the home field advantage, the main judges will be served by scholars from the school.

But Lu Shixian is in a special situation. Most of the professors in the School of Biological Sciences of Yanda University who are involved in botany are quite familiar with him.

In order to avoid suspicion and to ensure fairness to the greatest extent, the three judges arranged by the academy were all from outside the school.

The first defense has such a luxurious lineup, and it is an academician who has never been in contact.

Although it is unclear why an academician in the field of disease control came to participate in the defense of a master's degree in the field of botany, his professionalism is beyond doubt.

However, Lu Shixian is not too panicked, after all, he has goods in his stomach.

Defense of a graduate dissertation is somewhat different from defense of an undergraduate thesis.

Because of the increase, broadening, and deepening of its content, there is a greater need for time.

Postgraduates participating in the defense need to report on their dissertations within 20 to 30 minutes. During this period, they can use the prepared speeches or slides to present their results as completely and clearly in front of several judges.

At this point, the camera had already started working, and Lu Shixian opened his carefully prepared ppt.

Time to perform real techniques!

"Hi, dear defense teachers, my name is Lu Shixian, and I am a 2011 master's student in Botany, School of Life Sciences, Yanjing University. The role of "."

"Here, I would like to thank the college and my supervisors for their training in the past few years. In addition, the appearance of this thesis is also inseparable from the strong support of the State Key Laboratory of Protein Engineering and Plant Genetic Engineering."

"Finally, I would like to thank all the teachers who traveled far and wide for taking the time to participate in my thesis defense. Next, I will report the purpose and main content of this thesis design to the teachers."

"If there is something inappropriate, I implore all teachers to criticize and guide."

These opening remarks may seem long-winded, but they are actually very important and very impressive.

Few people would not like a polite, grateful and calm student, right?

What's more, this is also the necessary foreplay content before doing business, at least to give others some time to adapt to the state.

Under the stage, several judges couldn't help but nodded. They had all heard about this student's name, and now it seems that there are indeed some brushes.

After the foreplay was over, Lu Shixian started his main action.

"German botanist Bolling came up with a point of view in 1973: There is no differentiation without polarity. From this we can see the importance of polarity development in plant life activities."

"The polar development of plants is also inseparable from various hormones in plants, and auxin is one of the key ones. Due to the asymmetry of individual tissues and organs in the growth axis, auxin is distributed in plants. Extremely uneven."

"Polar development covers the entire life cycle of plants, but phytohormones play a crucial role in embryonic development, so I have invested a lot of energy in this period of research."

After 6 minutes, Lu Shixian successfully completed 20 of the presentation.

This progress is neither fast nor slow, but there are some limits after the lecture.

He needs to set aside some time to deal with some emergencies.

So, he picked up the tempo a little bit.

"In the 18th century, French scientists Bonnet and Monceau discovered for the first time that the growth and development of plants were controlled by a certain substance in their bodies. In 1880, German scientist Von Sachs proposed that this substance has properties of polar transport and can affect plant growth processes."

"In 1983, Dutch scientist Kogo and others isolated a highly active auxin-indole acetic acid from malt and other plants. Its appearance perfectly solved the previously confusing phenomenon of apex dominance"
