Jinshan Zhang is an accomplished plant geneticist and researcher specializing in crop improvement and functional genomics in rice. His work focuses on applying advanced biotechnologies, including CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing and STTM (Short Tandem Target Mimic) systems, to study microRNA functions and enhance stress tolerance. Zhang has investigated the roles of miRNAs, such as miR166, in modulating leaf and xylem architecture to improve drought resistance. He has also characterized key infection-structure genes and kinases in wheat stripe rust. His research has yielded significant insights into gene regulation in rice and wheat, contributing to sustainable crop development and molecular breeding strategies.
