Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Haoya Shi"
- Haoya Shi's recent research focuses on enhancing resistance to Gibberella ear rot (GER) in maize through integrated approaches such as transcriptomic analysis, genome-wide association studies, and genetic engineering techniques to manage pest resistance.
- In a notable study, Shi investigated the defense responses and phytohormonal changes in two contrasting maize inbred lines during Fusarium graminearum infection, aiming to identify key hub genes that contribute to GER resistance.
- Additionally, Shi explored the potential of genetic engineering to express pest-resistant proteins specifically in green tissues of maize, addressing public concerns surrounding genetically modified crops while aiming to improve insect resistance.
