Ki Hwan Song is a Professor in the Department of Bioindustry and Bioresource Engineering at Sejong University. He has held academic and research positions since 2015, following a career in plant breeding at Dongbu Farm Hannong (2007-2015), Monsanto China (2000-2007), and Dong-Yang-Moolsan Co. (1996-1999). His research focuses on horticultural crop breeding, genome analysis, and molecular marker development for stress tolerance and disease resistance.
- Ph.D. in Plant Breeding, Seoul National University (1997)
- M.S. and B.S. in Plant Science, Seoul National University (1992, 1990)
Song's research spans genetic resource development for disease resistance (cucurbit crops), genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and molecular breeding techniques. His work includes high-throughput sequencing for gene discovery, SNP marker development, and stress tolerance mechanisms in cucumbers and pumpkins.
Recent publications highlight advancements in yellow endocarp genetics, cucurbitacin profiling, and chilling tolerance in Cucurbitaceae species. Key keywords across his 29 research outputs include plant genetics, genomics, molecular biology, and stress tolerance.
He leads the Plant Breeding Laboratory (Da434) at Sejong University, with contributions to patents in cucumber genetics and stress-tolerant cultivars. His teaching includes graduate courses in seed production and vegetable science.
