Research Interests

Dr. Xiaojin Luo focuses on rice functional genomics and genetic improvement, specifically including construction of near-isogenic lines, isolation and cloning of yield associated genes from wild rice. He also studies on genetic regulation network of yield traits, and gene editing breeding using CRISPR/Cas9 technology.
