Biography:
Yucheng Lin and Chihang Chang are dedicated to the study of fungal infection and plant–microbe interactions, with a particular focus on how arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi influence plant health and immunity. Their recent research explores the dual roles of Glomus mosseae in promoting growth or causing disease in species such as Vigna angularis, Vigna radiata, and Allium tuberosum. In 2025, they presented this work at the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) Congress, highlighting new molecular evidence on how fungal infection manipulates innate immune signaling to enable intracellular replication and pathogen survival.
