Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Agronomy
  • Photosynthesis

His main research concerns Agronomy, Soil water, Stomatal conductance, Water-use efficiency and Abscisic acid. His Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Xylem and Horticulture. His biological study deals with issues like Photosynthesis, which deal with fields such as Chloroplast and Anthesis.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Soil water, Water content are connected with Solanaceae, Chenopodium quinoa and Guard cell and other disciplines. His research in Stomatal conductance intersects with topics in Photosynthetic capacity and Transpiration. In general Irrigation, his work in DNS root zone is often linked to Deficit irrigation linking many areas of study.

His most cited work include:

  • Biomass partitioning, specific leaf area, and water use efficiency of vegetable amaranth (Amaranthus spp.) in response to drought stress (198 citations)
  • ABA regulated stomatal control and photosynthetic water use efficiency of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) during progressive soil drying (187 citations)
  • Drought stress effect on carbohydrate concentration in soybean leaves and pods during early reproductive development: its implication in altering pod set (184 citations)

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

Agronomy, Irrigation, Horticulture, Stomatal conductance and Water-use efficiency are his primary areas of study. His Agronomy study incorporates themes from Soil water and Water content. His work on Fertigation is typically connected to Deficit irrigation and Mathematics as part of general Irrigation study, connecting several disciplines of science.

His research integrates issues of Photosynthesis, Endogeny and Sucrose in his study of Horticulture. His Stomatal conductance study deals with Abscisic acid intersecting with Xylem, Greenhouse, Botany and Drought stress. The study incorporates disciplines such as Biomass, Dry weight, Dry matter and Specific leaf area in addition to Water-use efficiency.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (57.69%)
  • Irrigation (37.18%)
  • Horticulture (40.60%)

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

  • Agronomy (57.69%)
  • Horticulture (40.60%)
  • Water-use efficiency (33.33%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Horticulture, Water-use efficiency, Stomatal conductance and Irrigation. His Agronomy research incorporates elements of Biomass and Soil type. His Horticulture research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Photosynthesis, Endogeny and Abscisic acid.

His Water-use efficiency research integrates issues from Food science, Shoot and Human fertilization. As a member of one scientific family, Fulai Liu mostly works in the field of Stomatal conductance, focusing on Transpiration and, on occasion, Soil pH. His work on DNS root zone as part of general Irrigation study is frequently linked to Deficit irrigation and Biochar, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • ABA-mediated modulation of elevated CO2 on stomatal response to drought. (16 citations)
  • ABA-mediated modulation of elevated CO2 on stomatal response to drought. (16 citations)
  • Optimization of pollutant reduction system for controlling agricultural non-point-source pollution based on grey relational analysis combined with analytic hierarchy process (13 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Agronomy
  • Horticulture

Fulai Liu mainly focuses on Abscisic acid, Horticulture, Grain yield, Xylem and Agronomy. Fulai Liu combines subjects such as Co2 concentration and Drought stress with his study of Abscisic acid. He interconnects Photosynthesis, Water-use efficiency, Invertase and Carbohydrate metabolism in the investigation of issues within Horticulture.

His Xylem research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Plant growth, Soil drying and Stomatal conductance. His Agronomy research incorporates themes from Soil management and Macro and micronutrients. His studies deal with areas such as Greenhouse, Catalase, Soil water, Rhizobacteria and Transpiration as well as Shoot.
