Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Yuejun Qu's research focuses on the genetic basis of plant traits, particularly in tomato and spinach. Qu has investigated genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to identify genetic markers associated with traits such as salt tolerance in tomato seedlings and tallness, fruit weight, and bolting in spinach. Additionally, Qu has explored the genetic diversity and population structure within the USDA tomato germplasm collection. The researcher's work also includes characterizing gene families, such as the TIFY family in Panax notoginseng, and examining gene expression profiles. Qu has collaborated with Kenani Chiwina, Ruling Du, Haizheng Xiong, and Ibtisam Alatawi at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville on multiple publications.
