Peng Yu

I completed my PhD in Plant Nutrition at China Agricultural University in 2016. I did my postdoc (2016-2020) at Crop Functional Genomics at the University of Bonn. Since 2021, I received the Emmy Noether program of the German Research Foundation (DFG) and headed an independent research group at the Institute of Crop Science and Resource Conservation (INRES) at the University of Bonn. Since October 2024, I was appointed to the professorship for Plant Genetics at TUM School of Life Sciences. My research focuses on the genetic basis and environmental regulation of the formation and functioning of the root system and its biotic interaction with soil microbiome in crops.
