Dr. SHAN Nan, associate professor, master supervisor.

Our research and extension appointment focuses on studying nutrition and stress physiology in vegetables, specifically yam and cucumber. Our main objective is to gain a deeper understanding of how environmental stresses impact vegetable growth and quality, with the ultimate goal of enhancing productivity and quality.
