Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Edward C. Yeung focuses on Botany, Embryo, Germination, Embryogenesis and Shoot. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Primordium, Proembryo and Organelle. His research in Embryo intersects with topics in Arabidopsis, Abscisic acid and Somatic cell.

His research integrates issues of Phaseolus, Horticulture and Auxin in his study of Abscisic acid. His Germination study combines topics in areas such as Reductase and Biosynthesis. 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.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (49.73%)
  • Biochemistry (24.86%)
  • Embryo (23.78%)

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

  • Botany (49.73%)
  • Embryo (23.78%)
  • Arabidopsis (9.19%)

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

His main research concerns Botany, Embryo, Arabidopsis, Cell biology and Germination. Edward C. Yeung combines subjects such as Explant culture, Abscisic acid and Auxin with his study of Botany. In Explant culture, Edward C. Yeung works on issues like Meristem, which are connected to Plant stem cell.

His Arabidopsis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Transcription factor and Gene regulatory network. His study in Cell biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cell wall and In silico. His research investigates the link between Horticulture and topics such as Micropropagation that cross with problems in Somatic embryogenesis.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Comprehensive developmental profiles of gene activity in regions and subregions of the Arabidopsis seed (284 citations)
  • Orchid protocorm-like bodies are somatic embryos (43 citations)
  • A perspective on orchid seed and protocorm development. (39 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Edward C. Yeung mainly focuses on Botany, Arabidopsis, Micropropagation, Cell biology and Biochemistry. His Botany research incorporates themes from Silique and Auxin. The various areas that Edward C. Yeung examines in his Arabidopsis study include Transcription factor and Vascular tissue.

His work deals with themes such as Embryo and Somatic embryogenesis, which intersect with Micropropagation. His Cell biology research integrates issues from Phenotype, Mutant and Transgene. His Biochemistry research includes themes of Phloem and Sieve tube element.
