Dr. Taek-Ryoun Kwon is a principal research scientist for the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences, South Korea. He is working on the research project focusing on the development of drought and salt tolerances in crop plant using physiological and biochemical markers. Recently, his group has installed a high-throughput phenotyping facility with a mega data obtained from the phenotyping activities. Now his primary concern is to utilize the facility to screen the tolerances of crop plants with a novel approaches like infra-red thermography.
