Jie Lu

Jie Lu is a Research Fellow at Wageningen University, specializing in Crop Physiology and Plant-Based Food Systems. Her research focuses on nitrogen use efficiency in maize, phenotypic plasticity, and environmental sustainability in agricultural systems, particularly in China. She collaborates with researchers like T.J. Stomph, G. Mi, and L. Yuan to advance plant modeling and mitigation strategies for sustainable farming.

Her recent work explores root plasticity and trait interactions in maize under nitrogen limitation using 3D plant modeling. Key themes include photosystem dynamics, phyllochron analysis, and phenotypic trade-offs in crop physiology.

Her publications highlight innovations in crop modeling, nitrogen management, and systems-level approaches to reduce nitrogen losses in Chinese agriculture. Collaborations span crop sciences, livestock integration, and environmental sustainability.
