Henan Agricultural University | China
Dr. Shuihuan Guo is a food science researcher specializing in fruit and vegetable storage, postharvest physiology, and the molecular biology of horticultural crops, with a strong focus on grapes. His work explores the mechanisms underlying stress responses, anthocyanin biosynthesis, quality formation, and the regulation of plant metabolic pathways that influence fruit development and postharvest quality. He has contributed significantly to understanding how environmental cues, hormonal signaling pathways, and gene regulatory networks shape the biochemical and physiological traits of grape berries under both natural and controlled conditions. His research particularly emphasizes drought stress, abscisic acid (ABA) signaling, melatonin biosynthesis, and microRNA-mediated regulatory mechanisms related to berry coloration, metabolite accumulation, and stress tolerance in different grape genotypes. Through integrating advanced molecular techniques with applied cultivation strategies, he aims to enhance fruit quality, improve resilience to abiotic stress, and support sustainable viticulture practices. His scientific contributions are recognized through measurable academic impact, including Scopus metrics of 219 citations, 15 documents, and an h-index of 8, supported by growing citation activity across Google Scholar as well. His publications appear in high-impact journals in horticulture, food chemistry, and plant molecular biology, reflecting his collaborative work and his commitment to advancing postharvest and viticultural science. Overall, his research bridges fundamental molecular insights with practical applications to support high-quality production and efficient cultivation of grapes and other horticultural crops.
