Zeng Yunliu

He has been to University of Oxford, the UK (2013-2014) and Plant and Food Research Institute, New Zealand (2017-2018) for collaborative research. He was appointed to the positions of China Agriculture Research System – Kiwifruit Quality Safety & Postharvest Preservation Scientist (2021-), Hubei Province Special Fruit (Kiwifruit) Postharvest Scientist (2018-) and New Zeal J Crop Hort Associate Editor (2021-).
He is mainly engaged in the research of postharvest biology and green preservation technology by using kiwifruit as material, and has obtained >10 projects, and the available funding up to four million in the coming three years. He has published 12 high-level papers, e.g. Plant Physiol (2), J.X.B, as the first author or corresponding author, applied/approved more than 20 patents, software copyrights and new variety registrations. He has received five awards at provincial and ministerial level or above, including the First Prize of Scientific Research of Shennong Chinese Agricultural Science and Technology Award, and the First Prize of Hubei Provincial Science and Technology Progress.
