Lianjun Sun's research focuses on the genetics and molecular biology of soybean, examining traits such as seed oil content, seed morphology, disease resistance, flood tolerance, and male fertility. The work combines gene mapping (QTL studies), genome sequencing, and analysis of gene regulation (including DNA methylation and transcriptomics) to understand how specific genes control agriculturally important soybean traits.
Publication output has grown over the last decade, rising from just a few papers per year in 2017-2020 to a more active pace of 4-7 publications annually between 2021 and 2024.
