Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

His main research concerns Oryza sativa, Botany, Oryza, Gene flow and Genetics. His Oryza sativa research integrates issues from Transgene, Agronomy, Germination and Genetically modified rice. His Botany research incorporates elements of RAPD, Genetic diversity and Oryza rufipogon.

Bao-Rong Lu interconnects Gene pool and Horticulture in the investigation of issues within Oryza. His research investigates the connection with Gene flow and areas like Crop which intersect with concerns in Field experiment. The concepts of his Introgression study are interwoven with issues in Evolutionary biology, Domestication and Allele.

His most cited work include:

  • Control of rice grain-filling and yield by a gene with a potential signature of domestication (495 citations)
  • Phylogeny of rice genomes with emphasis on origins of allotetraploid species (382 citations)
  • Draft genome of the kiwifruit Actinidia chinensis (268 citations)

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

Bao-Rong Lu focuses on Botany, Genetics, Oryza sativa, Agronomy and Hybrid. His Botany research includes themes of Oryza and Genetic diversity. His work carried out in the field of Oryza sativa brings together such families of science as Genetically modified crops, Transgene, Genetically modified rice and Gene flow.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Outcrossing, Oryza rufipogon and Introgression in addition to Gene flow. His studies in Agronomy integrate themes in fields like Japonica, Biotechnology and Weedy rice. In his study, Secale is inextricably linked to Meiosis, which falls within the broad field of Hybrid.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (45.51%)
  • Genetics (31.46%)
  • Oryza sativa (28.65%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Agronomy (24.16%)
  • Weedy rice (14.61%)
  • Oryza sativa (28.65%)

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

Bao-Rong Lu spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Weedy rice, Oryza sativa, Transgene and Botany. His research in Weedy rice intersects with topics in Ecology, Weed and Introgression. The concepts of his Introgression study are interwoven with issues in Evolutionary biology and Genetic diversity.

His study in Oryza sativa is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Genetically modified crops, Genetically modified rice, Japonica and Betaine. His work deals with themes such as Biological evolution, Genetic Fitness, Comparative genomic analysis, Genome size and Oryza rufipogon, which intersect with Botany. In his research on the topic of Gene flow, Poaceae is strongly related with Oryza.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Draft genome of the kiwifruit Actinidia chinensis (268 citations)
  • Crop Wild Relatives—Undervalued, Underutilized and under Threat? (140 citations)
  • Introgression of crop alleles into wild or weedy populations (137 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

His primary scientific interests are in Oryza sativa, Weedy rice, Agronomy, Introgression and Botany. His research in Oryza sativa focuses on subjects like Transgene, which are connected to Betaine. His Weedy rice study also includes fields such as

  • Crop weed which connect with Gene flow,
  • Ecology, which have a strong connection to Genetic diversity and Agroforestry,
  • Domestication that connect with fields like Dormancy, Adaptation, Ecotype, Germination and Seed dormancy.

His Agronomy research integrates issues from Genetically modified crops and Biosafety. As a part of the same scientific family, Bao-Rong Lu mostly works in the field of Introgression, focusing on Crop and, on occasion, Evolutionary biology and Allele. Bao-Rong Lu has researched Botany in several fields, including Biological evolution, Oryza, Comparative genomic analysis and Genome size.
