Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Botany

His primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Botany, Arabidopsis, Polynucleotide and Biochemistry. Gene, Petunia, Tobacco rattle virus, Gene silencing and Phytoene desaturase are the primary areas of interest in his Genetics study. His Gene research focuses on Whole genome sequencing, DNA-binding domain and Transcription.

Cai-Zhong Jiang interconnects Asterids, Clade, Phylogenetic tree and Cell biology in the investigation of issues within Botany. Arabidopsis is a subfield of Mutant that Cai-Zhong Jiang investigates. Cai-Zhong Jiang combines subjects such as Genetically modified crops, Plant disease resistance and Recombinant DNA with his study of Polynucleotide.

His most cited work include:

  • Arabidopsis transcription factors: genome-wide comparative analysis among eukaryotes. (2050 citations)
  • Polynucleotides and polypeptides in plants (363 citations)
  • WIN1, a transcriptional activator of epidermal wax accumulation in Arabidopsis. (298 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Cell biology, Botany, Gene, Transcription factor and Genetics. His Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Abscission, Arabidopsis, Regulation of gene expression, Gene silencing and Auxin. His work deals with themes such as Biotic stress and Resurrection plant, which intersect with Arabidopsis.

Cai-Zhong Jiang has researched Botany in several fields, including Abscisic acid, Transcriptome, Horticulture, Abiotic stress and Biomass. His Gene study deals with the bigger picture of Biochemistry. His study in Transcription factor is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Genetically modified crops, Ripening, Transcription and Gibberellin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (46.20%)
  • Botany (33.33%)
  • Gene (38.60%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Cell biology (46.20%)
  • Transcription factor (35.67%)
  • Gene (38.60%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Cell biology, Transcription factor, Gene, Auxin and Abscission. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Petunia, Arabidopsis, Petal, Regulation of gene expression and Gene silencing. His work carried out in the field of Arabidopsis brings together such families of science as Arabidopsis thaliana, Abiotic stress and Drought tolerance.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Ripening and Parenchyma. Gene is the topic of his studies on Biochemistry and Genetics. His Auxin study incorporates themes from Auxin homeostasis, Transcription and Meristem initiation.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A NAC transcription factor, NOR-like1, is a new positive regulator of tomato fruit ripening. (44 citations)
  • A NAC transcription factor, NOR-like1, is a new positive regulator of tomato fruit ripening. (44 citations)
  • Diversity and redundancy of the ripening regulatory networks revealed by the fruitENCODE and the new CRISPR/Cas9 CNR and NOR mutants. (42 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cell biology, Transcription factor, Gene, Ripening and Promoter. His Cell biology research integrates issues from Petunia, Regulation of gene expression, Auxin and Anther dehiscence. The study incorporates disciplines such as Gene silencing, Signal transduction, Anthesis and CRISPR in addition to Transcription factor.

His Gene study introduces a deeper knowledge of Biochemistry. His Ripening study combines topics in areas such as DNA methylation, Genetic model, Cas9, Chloroplast and Epigenetics. The concepts of his Promoter study are interwoven with issues in Mutation, Mutant and Carotenoid.
