Professor Shan Li is a faculty member in the College of Agriculture at Nanjing Agricultural University. His research focuses on the molecular mechanisms by which plant hormones interact to regulate important agronomic traits, including how plant hormones influence environmental adaptability in rice and how nutrient elements such as nitrogen and phosphorus affect auxin pathways and homeostasis in rice. He has received the IFA Emerging Scholar Award for his work on high-yielding crops with enhanced nutrient use-efficiency. Professor Shan Li is also a recipient of the National Science Fund for Outstanding Youth Scholars.
He serves as a professor at Nanjing Agricultural University and has contributed to research on crop nutrient-use efficiency and sustainable agriculture. Key areas of his work include the genetic and molecular regulation of nitrogen-use efficiency in crops, with publications addressing topics such as hormone signaling in regulating nitrogen-use efficiency and natural allelic variation affecting grain yield and nitrogen use efficiency in rice.
