Research summary
AI-generated

Daiying Xu's research examines how plants and fungi interact, including how fungal pathogens like Fusarium graminearum cause disease and how plants defend themselves at the molecular level. More recently, work has expanded into the genetics, physiology, and nutrient responses (such as nitrogen use) of Tartary buckwheat, a crop plant. The research combines genomic, transcriptomic, and biochemical methods to understand plant-microbe interactions and crop quality traits.

Publication output was sparse and irregular through the mid-2010s to early 2020s, but has grown noticeably since 2024, with the highest yearly counts appearing in 2025 and 2026.
