Aifu Li

Aifu Li studies how plants, particularly rice, sense and respond to nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, examining the genes and signaling pathways that control nutrient uptake, stress tolerance, and growth. This work has practical relevance for breeding crops that use fertilizer more efficiently or tolerate environmental stresses like salt and soil nitrogen variation. Much of the research combines molecular genetics with genomics to trace these traits back to specific genes and regulatory mechanisms.

Publication output has been modest and fairly steady over the past decade, averaging under one paper per year in the most recent five years, with occasional higher-output years such as 2019 and 2021.
