Yawo Mawunyo Nevame Adedze

I am a plant production agronomist with a Ph.D. in agricultural production and farming system and extensive experience in crop breeding and genetics. I am knowledgeable about crop production and breeding methods. I am capable of leading a research team to attain my employer's objectives.

I have completed nine scientific research initiatives and am the holder of four patents. I've authored 23 academic publications, of which 16 were SCI papers. In addition, I contributed to the crop germplasm innovation research conducted by my employer by developing approximately twenty novel functional molecular markers. I participated in the development and selection of thirty resistant tomato germplasm resources and forty melon germplasm resources. I've instructed postgraduates, undergraduates, and junior college students about molecular biotechnology technologies. I was selected for a number of talent competitions and honours. I'm the innovation and entrepreneurship supervisor of Suqian University, as well as the director of molecular research at the Shanghai Well seed company.
