Mr. Xiaohu Chen | Mycology | Best Researcher Award
Yangtze University | China
Mr. Xiaohu Chen is an emerging researcher from Yangtze University whose work focuses on Plant Stress Physiology and Plant–Microbe Interactions. His research explores how beneficial root endophytic fungi, particularly Trichoderma harzianum, enhance drought tolerance and physiological performance in plants. He demonstrates strong expertise in plant physiological ecology, including photosynthetic measurement, antioxidant system analysis, and phytohormone quantification. With 2 publications, 3 citations, and an h-index of 1, his early contributions reflect growing potential in advancing sustainable plant productivity and eco-friendly agricultural practices.
