Yongran Ji

Yongran Ji is a Researcher in the Horticulture & Product Physiology group at Wageningen University & Research. His work focuses on plant physiology, particularly the effects of far-red light on crop growth, stress responses, and postharvest quality.

• Key Research Areas: Far-red light signaling, auxin dynamics, phytochrome regulation, assimilate partitioning, and stress responses in crops like basil and tomatoes.
• Projects: Explores speed-breeding techniques in vertical farms and LED-based control of plant growth as part of the LED-IT-BE project.

Article Trends: Recent publications investigate far-red light's role in enhancing tomato yields, basil chilling tolerance, and watermelon grafting efficiency, with a focus on photosynthesis, genotyping, and postharvest biology.

Collaborations: Active in international networks, particularly in plant physiology and horticultural lighting research.
