Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Zihang Han"
- Zihang Han's recent research focuses primarily on understanding the impact of Fusarium pathogens on wheat and soybean crops, particularly investigating the accumulation of toxins and biomass in infected plant tissues, as well as the potential for biological control methods.
- One study highlighted the accumulation of toxins such as deoxynivalenol and DON-3-glucoside in various wheat tissues affected by Fusarium crown rot, demonstrating that toxins were present in stems, husks, and grains, but not in grains.
- Additionally, Han's work includes the identification of new Fusarium species responsible for crop diseases in China and the exploration of disease resistance genes in wheat, contributing to enhanced knowledge on disease management and crop resilience strategies.
