Zhong-Guang Li's research focuses on how plants, especially maize, respond and adapt to environmental stresses such as heat, drought, salt, and temperature extremes. A major focus is on small signaling molecules called gasotransmitters (like hydrogen sulfide, nitric oxide, sulfur dioxide, and ammonia) and how they interact with plant hormones and metabolites (such as melatonin, salicylic acid, and sucrose) to help seeds germinate and seedlings survive under difficult conditions. This work aims to understand the internal chemical signaling networks that allow crops to cope with climate-related stress.

Publication output was relatively steady from 2017–2022 (around 8-12 papers per year) but has declined notably from 2023 onward, with only a few publications per year in 2024-2026.
