關於我

Hsin-Hung Lin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Agronomy at National Chung Hsing University, Taiwan. He earned his Ph.D. in the laboratory of Dr. Shih-Tong Jeng, gaining extensive experience in wound signaling pathways of sweet potato leaves. After completing his doctoral degree, he participated in a project on rice improvement under the supervision of Dr. Wen-Hsiung Li (Biodiversity Research Center, Academia Sinica) and Dr. Maurice S. B Ku (Bioagricultural Science, National Chiayi University).

Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts and is the most important metabolic process for plant growth and productivity. Therefore, his research focuses on engineering C4-like photosynthesis in rice with a Kranz-type leaf anatomy to enhance photosynthetic efficiency and productivity. GLK genes are known as chloroplast developmental regulators in plants. He introduced maize GLK genes the rice genome, resulting in a significant increase in chloroplast development in both mesophyll and bundle sheath cells. This genetic modification led to enhanced photosynthetic efficiency, stress tolerance, and grain yield. His discovery represents an initial step towards the engineering of C4-like rice.
