Dr. Kai Luo is affiliated with the School of Tropical Agriculture and Forestry, Hainan University, China. He received his Ph.D. in Grassland Science from Lanzhou University in 2017. His research focuses on plant stress physiology, molecular biology, and plant-microbe interactions, with particular emphasis on understanding how beneficial microorganisms enhance plant tolerance to abiotic stresses and nutrient utilization in tropical crops. Dr. Luo has published over ten papers in peer-reviewed journals, including Horticulture Research, International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, and Biology. His work has identified key regulatory pathways involved in antioxidant defense, hormone signaling, and metabolic reprogramming during plant-microbe interactions. His current research aims to develop sustainable strategies for improving crop productivity in tropical regions through microbiome engineering, transcription factor functional characterization, and molecular breeding approaches.
