Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Biochemistry
  • Agronomy

A. R. Yeo focuses on Agronomy, Poaceae, Botany, Soil salinity and Saline. His research ties Chlorophyll and Agronomy together. His Chlorophyll research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Photosynthesis, Carbon fixation, Transpiration and Phytotoxicity.

His work on Salt gland expands to the thematically related Botany. A. R. Yeo performs multidisciplinary studies into Saline and Population in his work. He has included themes like Biotechnology and Plant breeding in his Resistance study.

His most cited work include:

  • Salinity resistance: Physiologies and prices (366 citations)
  • Screening of rice (Oryza sativa L.) genotypes for physiological characters contributing to salinity resistance, and their relationship to overall performance (328 citations)
  • Salinity Resistance in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) And a Pyramiding Approach to Breeding Varieties for Saline Soils (277 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

A. R. Yeo mostly deals with Agronomy, Poaceae, Horticulture, Botany and Transpiration. His work on Shoot, Resistance and Cultivar as part of his general Agronomy study is frequently connected to Salt, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His Resistance study combines topics in areas such as Biotechnology and Plant breeding.

Dry weight is closely connected to Lycopersicon in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Cultivar. His research investigates the connection with Poaceae and areas like Food science which intersect with concerns in Tissue culture, In vivo, Respiration and In vitro. In his research, Transpiration stream is intimately related to Xylem, which falls under the overarching field of Transpiration.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (38.46%)
  • Poaceae (30.77%)
  • Horticulture (23.08%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1995-2002)?

  • Agronomy (38.46%)
  • Horticulture (23.08%)
  • Salt (11.54%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Horticulture, Salt, Compartmentalization and Poaceae. His work on Water use as part of general Agronomy study is frequently linked to Humidity, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Horticulture research overlaps with other disciplines such as Oryza and Water content.

His Compartmentalization research covers fields of interest such as Low sodium, Apoplast, Transpiration, Botany and Food science.

Between 1995 and 2002, his most popular works were:

  • The involvement of the transpirational bypass flow in sodium uptake by high‐ and low‐sodium‐transporting lines of rice developed through intravarietal selection (98 citations)
  • Variability for some physiological characters affecting salt tolerance in tomato (18 citations)
  • Gas exchange, water loss and biomass production in rice and wild Oryza species in well-watered and water-limiting growth conditions (16 citations)
