Yun Lin

Yun Lin's research focuses on the genetics and molecular biology of legume crops, especially mungbean, cowpea, and related Vigna and Pisum species. Much of the work involves mapping genes and quantitative trait loci (QTLs) responsible for traits like pest resistance (particularly to bruchid beetles), stress tolerance (salt, drought), seed dormancy, flowering time, and disease resistance. This research combines genome-wide association studies, gene mapping, and functional gene characterization to support crop breeding and improvement.

Publication output has grown from occasional papers earlier in the decade to a steadier pace of about 4-8 papers per year since 2020, suggesting increasing research activity.
