Introduction

Research in biodiversity conservation and ornamental plant science supports ecological resilience, genetic resource preservation, and sustainable landscape management. Contemporary genomic methods increasingly inform conservation planning and taxonomy.[2]

Research Profile

  • Associate Professor and Department Director in Landscape Studies.
  • Research interests: ornamental flower resources and biodiversity conservation.
  • ORCID registered researcher with indexed publications.
  • Experience in plant evolution, phylogeny, and chloroplast genome analysis.

Research Contributions

Reported contributions include evolutionary history analyses of fern species, comparative plastome studies, genomic characterization of plant taxa, and genetic diversity evaluations of ornamental germplasm resources.[3]

Publications

  • Insights into the evolutionary history and taxonomic status of Sinopteris (2023).
  • Characterization of the Dicranostigma leptopodum chloroplast genome (2022).
  • Comparative Plastomes Sheds Light on the Phylogeny of Weigela (2024).
  • Complete chloroplast genome sequence of Ligustrum quihoui (2019).

Research Impact

The body of work contributes to taxonomic clarification, conservation genetics, and evolutionary understanding of ornamental and ecologically significant plant groups. These findings support biodiversity preservation and applied horticultural science.

Award Suitability

The researcher’s publication profile, biodiversity-focused investigations, and SCI-indexed outputs align with award categories emphasizing ecological conservation, plant science advancement, and interdisciplinary research impact.[1]

Conclusion

Lei Wang’s academic record reflects sustained engagement in biodiversity conservation and ornamental plant research through genomic, phylogenetic, and ecological approaches.[2]
