Inner Mongolia Agricultural University | China
Dr. Xueqin He is a distinguished researcher and faculty member at the College of Horticulture and Plant Protection, Inner Mongolia Agricultural University, China, with a strong academic focus on plant physiology, molecular biology, and horticultural crop improvement. Her research primarily explores the molecular mechanisms regulating flower color formation, stress physiology, and metabolic responses in horticultural plants, with Dianthus and potato as her major model systems. Over the past decade, she has made significant contributions to understanding anthocyanin biosynthesis, chalcone synthase gene regulation, karyotype analysis, and physiological adaptations of plants under abiotic stress conditions. She has authored 12 peer-reviewed publications in national and international journals, which have collectively garnered over 220 citations, reflecting her influence in the field, and she maintains an h-index of 8, demonstrating both productivity and impact. Dr. He has successfully led and participated in several competitive research grants, including projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Natural Science Foundation of Inner Mongolia, focusing on gene regulation in flower pigmentation, dormancy mechanisms in Gladiolus, and stress-response pathways in Dianthus. Her pioneering work provides theoretical and practical insights into ornamental plant breeding, stress tolerance, and horticultural innovation, contributing substantially to advancing sustainable horticulture and plant protection science.
