Über den Autor
Sunghun Park is a Professor in the Department of Horticulture and Natural Resources at Kansas State University, United States. He earned his PhD in Plant Physiology from Texas A&M University in 1995. His research focuses on gene function analysis, comparative genome-wide transcriptional profiling, and redox-mediated plant adaptation to abiotic stress and physiological disorders in crops. He has established Agrobacterium-mediated transformation systems in multiple crop species to investigate the genetic basis of plant phenotypes. With more than 30 years of experience in plant tissue culture and genetic transformation, Dr. Park combines fundamental studies in plant cell physiology with applied research aimed at improving crop productivity and nutritional quality through genomic and biotechnological approaches.
