Her research has recently focused on the use of nano-silicon dioxide in enhancing plant immunity, particularly in rice, and she has worked extensively on allele mining for blast-resistance genes. Dr. Zhou has authored more than 15 peer-reviewed publications, with notable papers in ACS Nano, Rice, Plant Stress, and BMC Plant Biology. Her studies span genetic regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis, nanomaterials in plant immunity, and molecular evolution of rice resistance genes. She has a citation count exceeding 564 and an h-index of approximately 12, reflecting her impact in the fields of plant molecular biology and crop genetic improvement. Dr. Zhou previously worked at the Wuhan Botanical Garden, CAS, and served as a molecular breeding supervisor at China National Seed Group. Her contributions have advanced both the theoretical understanding and applied techniques in genetically modified crops and resistant variety development. A dedicated mentor and researcher, she continues to explore innovative strategies for sustainable crop improvement and food security.
