Professional Interests

Dr. Guiping Yan is an Associate Professor at the North Dakota State University (NDSU). Before joining NDSU, Dr. Yan earned her Ph.D. from Washington State University and then worked as a post-doctoral researcher at Oregon State University. Her research at NDSU focuses on detection, biology, and management of plant-parasitic nematodes that negatively affect production of field crops including soybean, potato, corn, sugarbeet, dry bean, field pea, and wheat.

Her research interests include, but not limited to:

Detection of soybean cyst nematode and other plant-parasitic nematodes
Molecular assays for identification and quantification of nematode species
Genome sequencing and assembly of root-lesion and stubby root nematodes
Identification of resistance and parasitism genes
Interaction of nematodes with fungal and viral pathogens
Management strategies (host resistance, cover crops, suppressive soil, microbiome, biological control)
