Research Prof. Kang Hong-gyu awarded best paper prize in plant biology

JNU Subtropical Horticulture Research Institute’s (Designated as the hub research facility by National Research Foundation of Korea) research professor, Kang, Hong-gyu was awarded with or the ‘2021 Prize from the Korean Society of Plant Biology at the ‘2021 Periodic Symposium of the Korean Society of Plant Biology’ held recently at Konjiam Resort in Gyeonggi-do Province.

Professor Kang’s paper of interest is titled, ‘Overexpression of ICE1, a regulator of cold-induced transcriptome, confers cold tolerance to transgenic Zoysia japonica.’ The study deals with Zoysia japonica (or Korean grass) which is strong against cold.

The prize is awarded to the main author with the most frequently cited papers publicized in the ‘Journal of Plant Biology (JPB)’ published by the Korean Society of Plant Biology. JPB is an SCIE-registered academic journal that specializes in the field of plant biology

Research Professor Kang derived multiple performances in the field of plant bioscience along with Professor Lee, Hyo-yeon of the College of Applied Life Science (Director of Subtropical Horticulture Research Institute). Works include papers and patents.

Especially, in the last two years, Kang presented three papers on a top 10% SCI-ranked journal. In addition, Kang is performing studies regarding the development and practicalizing genetically modified organisms and environmental stress resistance of plants along with other researchers and professors in the lab.

The Korean Society of Plant Biology was founded in 1957. Its aim is to lead the knowledge proliferation regarding the basic and applied plant biology. Every year, in winter and fall, the society holds its periodic symposium.
