Ying Li's research focuses on plant biochemistry and molecular biology, particularly the genes and pathways that produce natural plant compounds like anthocyanins (pigments), proanthocyanidins, and lignin in species such as maize, soybean, and Medicago truncatula. The work combines gene expression analysis, metabolomics (studying small molecules in cells), and transcriptomics (studying gene activity) to understand how plants make and regulate these compounds, with some studies extending to genome sequencing, herbal medicine compounds, and food science topics.
Publication output grew from minimal activity in 2017-2020 to a peak of 6-7 papers per year during 2021-2023, followed by a decline to 4 in 2024 and none recorded in 2025.
