Overview

Inhwan Hwang is affiliated with Pohang University of Science and Technology in South Korea. Their research primarily covers fields in biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, with a substantial focus on agricultural and biological sciences.

The main subfields of study include molecular biology, plant science, and biotechnology, with additional work involving infectious diseases and cell biology. The key topics of their research are diverse and include photosynthetic processes and mechanisms, transgenic plants and applications, mitochondrial function and pathology, plant molecular biology research, plant stress responses and tolerance, plant nutrient uptake and metabolism, and toxin mechanisms and immunotoxins.

Hwang has published extensively, including notable papers such as:

  • A DNA Methylation Reader-Chaperone Regulator-Transcription Factor Complex Activates OsHKT1;5 Expression during Salinity Stress (2020, The Plant Cell)
  • Dynamic spatial reorganization of BSK1 complexes in the plasma membrane underpins signal-specific activation for growth and immunity (2021, Molecular Plant)
  • Proteomic characterization of isolated Arabidopsis clathrin-coated vesicles reveals evolutionarily conserved and plant-specific components (2022, The Plant Cell)
  • Spatial regulation of RBOHD via AtECA4-mediated recycling and clathrin-mediated endocytosis contributes to ROS accumulation during salt stress response but not flg22-induced immune response (2021, The Plant Journal)
  • PtomtAPX is an autonomous lignification peroxidase during the earliest stage of secondary wall formation in Populus tomentosa Carr (2022, Nature Plants)

The frequent coauthors collaborating with Hwang include Dong Wook Lee, Shi-Jian Song, Hai Lu, Woe-Yeon Kim, and Byeongho Moon.

Hwang's publications are commonly found in venues such as Frontiers in Plant Science, Plant Cell & Environment, Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, New Phytologist, and Journal of Plant Biology.

In addition to journal articles, Hwang has contributed to book publications. One example includes the book titled Targeting Signals in Protein Trafficking and Transport, published by Frontiers Media in 2023.
