Maoyin Li

Dr. Maoyin Li is a full-time Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, affiliated with the College of Arts and Sciences. Their research focuses on plant lipid metabolism, with a particular emphasis on seed oil composition and lipid signaling pathways.

• Key research areas include lipidomics, phospholipase function, and Arabidopsis genetics.
• Patents and publications highlight innovations in enhancing seed oil content through genetic modification.

Recent articles demonstrate expertise in mass spectrometry-based lipid profiling, triacylglycerol quantification, and stress response mechanisms in plants. Collaborative work with Xuemin Wang and others spans biochemical analysis of sphingolipids, phosphatidic acid signaling, and diurnal lipid regulation.
