Xie Qi
Xie Qi is a researcher at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He gained attention for his significant contributions to agricultural genetics, particularly in the discovery of two key genes, SbSLT1 and SbSLT2, in sorghum that enhance its resistance to the parasitic plant Striga. His work represents a breakthrough in understanding how these genes function as switches in controlling the plant's ability to fend off Striga, which poses a significant threat to crops in various regions. This research not only advances scientific knowledge but also has practical implications for improving food security in areas affected by parasitic plants.
