"Genomic dissection of heat tolerance and grain micronutrient (zinc and iron) contents in multi-parent advanced generation inter-cross (MAGIC) population of rice"
The multiseason phenotyping of the Heat-MAGIC population under field and controlled stress conditions revealed the wide phenotypic variation and consistent positive correlations of grain yield (GYLD) with plant height (HT), panicle length (PL)... Read more.PhD in Plant Breeding (University of the Philippines Los Baños)"Genomic gain and loss analyses between wild and cultivated rice using a pangenome graph"
Pangenome graphs have been constructed to analyze the genetic diversity of wild and cultivated rice; however, their applications have been limited to graph characterization and variant calling, with little justification provided for software... Read more.MS in Global Agriculture Technology and Genomic Science (National Taiwan University)"High-resolution, evidence-based assessment of fish biodiversity and habitat connectivity using environmental DNA metabarcoding in fisheries management area 9, Philippines"
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has emerged as a transformative tool for biodiversity assessment offering rapid, non-invasive, and high-resolution detection of organisms across diverse ecosystems. This dissertation integrates three studies to... Read more.PhD in Marine Biology (Mindanao State University)"Identification and annotation of mutated genes in Setaria viridis photosynthesis mutants"
Using the C4 model grass Setaria viridis, a novel mutant (MT) line was identified through a forward genetics approach. The mutants exhibit severe photosynthetic defects, including drastic reduction of Fv/Fm in both ambient and high CO2 conditions...

Indian gooseberry (Phyllanthus emblica Linn) is a fruit renowned for its high phenolic and vitamin C content. However, its sour and astringent taste limits utilization. The objective of this study was to develop vitamin C- and phenolic-rich Indian...

The farmers in Ilocos Norte, Philippines, produce vegetable crops during dry season (November to May). Land use decision from the farm level requires trade-offs due to resource constraints and other inherent factors. This study was conducted to... Read more.MS in Agricultural Economics (University of the Philippines Los Baños)"Pangenome analysis of Vietnamese rice landraces: Towards the identification of unique genomic regions for rice improvement"
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is an important food crop, exhibits remarkable genetic diversity across its indica and japonica subgroups, reflecting extensive adaptive evolution and selective breeding. While high-quality single-reference genomes have... Read more.MS in Global Agriculture Technology and Genomic Science (National Taiwan University)"Phosphate solubilizing purple non-sulfur bacteria effects on the possibility absorb phosphate of rice plant growing on salinity soil"
Salt intrusion has caused adverse effects on nutrient uptake, growth and yield of rice plants in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. The study was aimed to isolate, screen, identify phosphorus (P)-solubilizing purple non-sulfur bacteria (PNSB) from salinity... Read more.PhD in Crop Science (Can Tho University)"Screening of drought tolerance in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes by root system architecture, osmotic stress and stress selection indices"
Drought is one of the fundamental issues in the current climatic environment and one of the most severe abiotic stresses in many areas of the world. Roots are critical for water and nutrient intake, yet they are rarely the main target of breeding... Read more.PhD in Plant Breeding, Physiology and Ecology (Yezin Agricultural University)"Selection of waxy corn inbred lines based on direct effects, selection index and combining abilities"
Waxy corn is one of the most important economic crops in Myanmar. The development of waxy corn for food and fodder has a problem, concerning in low productivity. Information about genetic variation and diversity is essential and the first step in... Read more.PhD in Plant Breeding, Physiology and Ecology (Yezin Agricultural University)
