Qiong HU
Last name : HU
First name : Qiong
Entrance year : 2023
Occupation : Researcher
Company : Oil Crops Research Institute/Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences
Birthdate : 1966/07/01
Address : No. 2 Xudong 2nd Rd, Wuchang, 430062 Wuhan / China
Main fields of interest :
  • Crop protection
  • Agronomy
Professional experience : Published more than 90 papers regarding oilseed rape genetics and breeding. She has established a novel alloplasmic male sterility system of Brassica napus by protoplast fusion (Hu et al., 2002 Plant Cell Reports; 2003 Agricultural sciences in China; Wei et al., 2010 Theor Appl Genet; Liu et al., 2015 Euphytica), which is now in use for hybrid variety development. In recent years, as mechanization in rural area in China becomes more important, her main research interest is focused on developing varieties suitable for mechanize harvesting. She identified several QTL for pod shattering resistance (Liu et al., 2016 Frontiers in Plant Science) and branch angle (Liu et al., 2016 Frontiers in Plant Science) in B. napus using linkage and association analysis, and developed several B. napus varieties for release (Li et al., 2008 Agricultural Sciences in China; Mei et al. 2014 Molecular Plant Breeding; Hu et al., 2016 The Crop Journal). This year, her lab developed a high efficient platform for genome editing in B. napus (Li et al., 2018).
Education : Ph.D from Dannish Veterinary and Agricultural University
