Dr. Mengjie Cui | Peanut Genetic | Best Researcher Award

Assistant Researcher at Henan Academy of Agricultural Sciences | China

Dr. Mengjie Cui is an accomplished researcher specializing in genetic breeding and genomics of aflatoxin resistance in peanuts. Her work focuses on identifying high-resistance peanut germplasms, mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs), and developing molecular markers to enable the breeding of high-yield, high-quality, and aflatoxin-resistant varieties. She has successfully established a precise method for identifying aflatoxin resistance in single peanut kernels, leading to the screening of multiple germplasms with dual resistance to infection and toxin production. Utilizing genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and transcriptomic analyses, Mengjie has identified key resistance-related genes and developed molecular markers linked to these traits, enabling early-generation selection in breeding programs. Her research has advanced understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying peanut resistance to Aspergillus flavus, including the functional characterization of critical gene families such as PITP, PR10, and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase. She has contributed extensively to the scientific literature with publications in high-impact journals, presenting insights into gene expression networks, transcription factors, and regulatory pathways associated with resistance. Mengjie Cui’s innovative approaches and contributions have significantly impacted peanut breeding, providing practical tools and foundational knowledge for developing resilient, safe, and high-quality peanut varieties.
