Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Yuejun Qu's research focuses on the genetic diversity and population structure of important crop species, particularly tomato (*Solanum lycopersicum*) and spinach (*Spinacia oleracea*). Qu has investigated salt tolerance in tomato seedlings using genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and has also explored the genetic basis for traits such as fruit weight and bolting in spinach through GWAS and genomic prediction. Additionally, Qu's work includes the genome-wide identification, characterization, and expression profiling of gene families, such as the TIFY family, in *Panax notoginseng*. Collaborations at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville include researchers Kenani Chiwina, Ruling Du, Haizheng Xiong, and Ibtisam Alatawi, with whom Qu has co-authored multiple publications.
