Cankui Zhang studies how plants take up, transport, and use nutrients like nitrogen, iron, magnesium, and phosphate, and how they respond to stresses such as drought, salt, and cold. This work spans crops like soybean, maize, quinoa, potato, and garlic, using molecular, genetic, and proteomic techniques to understand plant nutrient movement and stress tolerance mechanisms.
