Dr. Hongyan Meng | Fujian Institute of Subtropical Botany | China
Hongyan Meng, Ph.D., is an Associate Researcher at the Fujian Institute of Subtropical Botany, Xiamen, China. Her research focuses on plant molecular biology, metabolic biology, folate metabolism, nitrogen assimilation, and plant stress physiology. Dr. Meng earned her Ph.D. in Plant Molecular Biology from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Beijing. She has made significant contributions to understanding the interplay between folate metabolism and nitrogen assimilation in plants, particularly under stress and nitrate-limited conditions. Her recent publications include studies on folate disorders triggering compensatory nitrogen starvation responses (Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications), metabolic network changes during skotomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis thaliana, and the critical role of plastidial folylpolyglutamate synthetase in seed reserve accumulation and nitrogen metabolism (Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications; Dr. Meng’s work has been cited over 197 times across 178 documents, reflecting her impact in the field, and she holds an h-index of 8.
