Lanlan Feng centred her master's research on the heat tolerance mechanism in peanuts, while her doctoral work focused on autophagosome formation using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. After earning her PhD in 2022, she joined the Henan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, where she worked on identifying virulence genes in Lasiodiplodia theobromae, a fungal pathogen of peanuts. Currently, at the Henan Academy of Sericulture, Lanlan is investigating the pathogenic mechanisms of mulberry diseases and exploring stress-resistance genes in mulberries.
