Jing Xu is an Associate Professor at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in forest genetics and tree breeding. His research focus includes improving economic resistance traits in forest trees and utilizing innovative approaches to traditional breeding methods. Xu's work aims to develop faster solutions to address increasing threats from biotic and abiotic stressors, particularly due to climate change. He employs breeding techniques such as pedigree reconstruction and genetic markers to enhance breeding strategies for minor tree species. His interests also encompass understanding the genetics of tree-pathogen-insect-environment interactions to improve resistance traits. Furthermore, he explores advanced phenotyping methods for assessing drought stress in forest trees using near-surface remote sensing. Xu has been involved in teaching various courses related to genetics at the university level, mentoring Bachelor and Master students in forest tree genetics and breeding as well.
