OverviewAI-generated summary

Xiaoya Shi's research focuses on the genomics and evolutionary biology of agricultural crops, particularly grapevines (Vitis) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa). Her work investigates how these plants adapt to environmental changes, including climate change, and how their genetic makeup influences breeding and domestication. Shi has published research on the complete reference genome for grapevine, exploring its genetics and breeding applications. She also studies the evolutionary genomics of climatic adaptation and resilience in alfalfa. Her recent publications delve into the role of specific genes, such as VvMYB44-1, in regulating traits like anthocyanin biosynthesis in grapevines under high temperatures. Additionally, her research examines the impacts of reproductive systems on crop genomes and the dynamics of wild species in response to climate change to facilitate the development of climate-resilient varieties. Shi holds an h-index of 5 with 18 publications and 332 citations.
