Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Qiyuan Yu"
- Qiyuan Yu's research predominantly focuses on enhancing resistance to citrus bacterial canker (CBC), a serious disease caused by *Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri*, by identifying and characterizing various genetic factors and pathways that regulate plant defenses.
- Recent studies demonstrate that specific transcription factors (e.g., CsWRKY53, CsAP2-09, CsBZIP40) and receptor-like kinases (e.g., CsWAKL01) play crucial roles in mitigating the effects of CBC by modulating phytohormone signaling and reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis.
- Additionally, Yu's work extends beyond plant pathology to include the development of computational methods for predicting anticancer peptides, reflecting a diverse research agenda aimed at addressing both agricultural and biomedical challenges.
