Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Borong Lin"
- Borong Lin's research primarily focuses on plant-parasitic nematodes and their mechanisms of host interaction, with significant studies identifying novel effectors that contribute to nematode virulence and mechanisms to evade plant immunity, including the discovery of new genes like BxICD1 and Mj2G02.
- In addition to plant pathology, Lin has explored the application of CRISPR/Cas9 technology in enhancing resistance to nematode infestations in rice, demonstrating effective genetic strategies for managing crop health against soil-borne pests.
- Lin also engages in environmental health research, addressing topics such as the impact of ventilation in mitigating the effects of disinfectants during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the implications of climate change on health, reflected in multiple reports for the Lancet Countdown.
