Guangxun Fan

Guangxun Fan is a Doctoral Researcher affiliated with the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry and the Department of Agricultural Sciences at the University of Helsinki. His work focuses on agricultural biotechnology and plant genetics.

Research Interests: Guangxun investigates molecular mechanisms governing plant development and climate adaptation, particularly in strawberry species. His studies address epigenetic changes, gene regulation during asexual reproduction, and the role of transcription factors like HANABA TARANU in morphological development. Research trends include methylome/transcriptome interactions, flowering control, and climate-driven phenotypic plasticity in Fragaria vesca.

Publications: His recent work explores temperature-induced epigenetic modifications, runner formation in strawberries, and natural variation in flowering traits. These studies reflect interdisciplinary applications of biotechnology to improve crop yield and resilience.
