Nominator's project description

Professor Chuanyou Li is internationally renowned for his groundbreaking research in plant development and hormone signaling. He has made outstanding contributions to our understanding of how peptides trigger regenerative responses, providing critical insight into how improved plant regeneration efficiency can enable the breeding of crops with superior fitness and yield. During his stay in Germany, he intends to characterize a class of peptides affecting plant regeneration and explore their potential value for crop breeding.
