His work is dedicated to discovering how Embryogenesis, Morphogenesis are connected with Mutant and Cellular differentiation and other disciplines.

His most cited work include:

  • The Accumulation of Oleosins Determines the Size of Seed Oilbodies in Arabidopsis (338 citations)
  • Comprehensive developmental profiles of gene activity in regions and subregions of the Arabidopsis seed (284 citations)
  • Embryogenesis in Angiosperms: Development of the Suspensor. (245 citations)

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

Botany, Biochemistry, Embryo, Cell biology and Shoot are his primary areas of study. His Botany study which covers Abscisic acid that intersects with Sunflower. The concepts of his Embryo study are interwoven with issues in Germination and Somatic cell.

Many of his studies on Cell biology involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Arabidopsis. His Shoot research includes elements of Cotyledon, Plant physiology, Axillary bud, Organogenesis and Cytokinin. Edward C. Yeung focuses mostly in the field of Nucleotide, narrowing it down to matters related to Pyrimidine metabolism and, in some cases, Orotic acid.
