معرفی
Xuejun Dong is an Associate Professor in Crop Physiology at Texas A&M University’s College of Agriculture & Life Sciences. He is affiliated with Texas A&M AgriLife Research and serves as a guest lecturer for the graduate course “Root Biology.” His primary research focuses on soil-plant water relations, crop management under water-limited conditions, and plant adaptation to abiotic stresses. He holds a Ph.D. from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (1997).
Research interests include crop systems analysis, drought tolerance mechanisms, and developing technologies to enhance water conservation and soil quality. His recent work emphasizes hemp agronomy, guayule water stress detection, and remote sensing applications in agriculture. He has contributed to studies on nitrogen use efficiency, cover crops, and root water uptake modeling.
Xuejun’s publications span 30+ years, with recent trends emphasizing precision agriculture techniques, crop resilience under climate stress, and interdisciplinary approaches to sustainable farming. His work bridges plant physiology, soil science, and engineering solutions for arid-region agriculture.
His academic contributions include advancing methodologies for measuring leaf osmotic potential, optimizing irrigation scheduling, and evaluating crop responses to environmental constraints. He collaborates across disciplines to address challenges in Texas’ agricultural ecosystems.
Labs/Teams: Active in Texas A&M AgriLife Research programs focusing on crop physiology and water management.
