Weiwei Zhang's publication record spans plant molecular biology and biochemistry, including gene family analyses in crops like wheat and apple, fungal pathogen biology (such as rice blast fungus and nematode-trapping fungi), and diverse side projects in analytical chemistry, aquaculture genomics, and toxicology. The work often uses genome-wide identification, transcriptomics, and gene expression approaches to study plant stress responses, metabolite biosynthesis, and fungal development and pathogenicity.
