Xinyou Yin

Dr. Xinyou Yin is a Research Fellow at Wageningen University & Research's Centre for Crop Systems Analysis. His research focuses on integrating experimental and computational approaches to address challenges in crop science and plant biology, particularly in photosynthesis, genotype-to-phenotype relationships, and climate change impacts on crop productivity. He specializes in developing models to predict and enhance crop performance, with contributions to improving rice and wheat resilience under water scarcity and elevated CO2 environments.

Expertise:

• Crop Physiology
• Photosynthesis Modeling
• Genetic Mapping
• Systems Biology
• Climate Change Adaptation

Key Research Themes:

• Extended FvCB model for photosynthesis
• Determinate growth equations
• Genotype-environment interactions
• Water-use strategies in rice and wheat

His work combines interdisciplinary methods, such as remote sensing and genetic analysis, to bridge gaps between crop modeling and genetics. Students advised include Junfei Gu and Niteen Kadam. Current projects explore C4 photosynthesis efficiency and crop systems biology.
