Giltsu Choi

Giltsu Choi is a Professor in the Department of BIO at KAIST. Their research focuses on Developmental Biology, Molecular Biology, and Plant Biology. Specifically, they investigate how phytochromes, plant photoreceptors, regulate plant development. Their laboratory is part of the Department of Biological Sciences at KAIST, located in Daejon, Korea.

Giltsu Choi is a researcher in the Department of Biological Sciences at KAIST, focusing on phytochrome, germination, and light responses in plants. Their work explores how light signals are decoded by phytochromes and their interacting proteins, with a particular emphasis on the regulation of seed germination and light responses in Arabidopsis. Choi's research also investigates the interplay between light and hormone signals during germination and the role of transcription factors such as PIL5 and PIFs in these processes. Their studies highlight the molecular mechanisms underlying light-induced changes in gene expression and their impact on plant development and stress tolerance.
