Biography
Xiaochuang Cao has his expertise in plant nutrition and rice high yield cultivation technology. Recently, he focused to explain why the mixed-N (NO3-+NH4+) nutrition enhances rice growth under water-deficit condition, from the aspects of photosynthesis, root-shoot carbon partitioning, and hormone signaling. His results provide new insights for improving plant tolerance to water stress via nutrient resource management in certain drought-prone
regions.
