Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Agronomy

Agronomy, Shoot, Cultivar, Lateral root and Nitrate are his primary areas of study. The Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Quantitative trait locus, Plant nutrition and Inbred strain. His Shoot research integrates issues from Poaceae and Root system.

Fanjun Chen usually deals with Cultivar and limits it to topics linked to Hybrid and Grain yield and Field experiment. His study looks at the intersection of Lateral root and topics like Seedling with Hydroponics, Genotype and Zea mays. His work in the fields of Meristem overlaps with other areas such as Elongation.

His most cited work include:

  • Inhibition of maize root growth by high nitrate supply is correlated with reduced IAA levels in roots (163 citations)
  • Rhizosphere effect and root growth of two maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes with contrasting P efficiency at low P availability (128 citations)
  • Genetic Analysis of Maize Root Characteristics in Response to Low Nitrogen Stress (102 citations)

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

Fanjun Chen mainly focuses on Agronomy, Cultivar, Hybrid, Shoot and Horticulture. His study in Agronomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Quantitative trait locus and Inbred strain. His Cultivar research focuses on Field experiment and how it relates to Yield.

His Hybrid study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Dry matter and Crop yield. His Shoot study incorporates themes from Lateral root and Crown. He interconnects Photosynthesis and Plant physiology in the investigation of issues within Horticulture.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (67.50%)
  • Cultivar (22.50%)
  • Hybrid (20.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Cultivar (22.50%)
  • Agronomy (67.50%)
  • Sowing (7.50%)

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

His primary areas of study are Cultivar, Agronomy, Sowing, Gene and Animal science. Field experiment, Low nitrogen and Primordium is closely connected to Grain yield in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Cultivar. In the field of Agronomy, his study on Plant density and Interaction overlaps with subjects such as Nitrate and Ammonium.

Fanjun Chen focuses mostly in the field of Gene, narrowing it down to matters related to Cell biology and, in some cases, Arabidopsis, Lateral root, Genetic redundancy, Lateral root branching and MADS-box. His research integrates issues of Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, Intensive farming and Hypha in his study of Animal science. In his work, Botany, Transposable element, Shoot and Crown is strongly intertwined with Transcription factor, which is a subfield of Mutant.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Interaction effect of nitrogen form and planting density on plant growth and nutrient uptake in maize seedlings (12 citations)
  • ZmRAP2.7, an AP2 Transcription Factor, Is Involved in Maize Brace Roots Development. (9 citations)
  • Increased biomass accumulation in maize grown in mixed nitrogen supply is mediated by auxin synthesis. (9 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

His main research concerns Nitrate, Ammonium, Photosynthesis, Sowing and Root system. Nitrate is connected with Agronomy, Interaction, Asparagine, Food science and Glutamate synthase in his study. There are a combination of areas like Asparagine Synthase and Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase integrated together with his Ammonium study.

The concepts of his Sowing study are interwoven with issues in Biomass and Plant physiology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Transcription factor, Gene, Mutant, Transposable element and Shoot in addition to Root system.
