Education Background

Jianping Yang, a plant developmental biologist by training, received his BSc degree in Agronomy (1983) from the Henan Agricultural University, China, his MS degree in Agronomy (1990) from Henan Agricultural University, China and his PhD in Agronomy (1993) from Zhejiang University, China. He also had two periods of postdoctoral training at the Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research, Cornell University (20002-2006) and at the Institute of Genetics & Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (2000-2002).

Research Area

He is a project investigator on plant developmental biology. His lab focuses on (1) light signaling and shade avoidance in model plant Arabidopsis; (2) clonings and functional analyses of phytochromes and crytochromes in wheat and maize; (3) crop improvement through modification light signaling pathway.
