Research summary

Chengyu Gao studies how plants defend themselves against fungal pathogens and cope with environmental stress, with a strong focus on tree crops like apple, poplar, and olive. Much of the work examines plant-fungus molecular interactions (including small RNA signaling), genome assembly of pathogens and crop species, and biological (rather than chemical) control of plant diseases such as apple Valsa canker. Some additional publications on statistical methods and health economics appear to be unrelated side projects or collaborations.
