Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Oryza sativa, Biochemistry, Shoot and Phosphate. Guohua Xu has researched Botany in several fields, including Oryza, Mycorrhiza and Solanaceae. His study in Oryza sativa is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Mutant, Auxin, Nitrate transport, Nitrate and Poaceae.

The various areas that Guohua Xu examines in his Nitrate study include Assimilation, Cultivar and Sustainable agriculture. His Shoot study incorporates themes from Xylem and Nitrate reductase. His Phosphate study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Transporter and Gene.

His most cited work include:

  • Plant nitrogen assimilation and use efficiency. (837 citations)
  • Plant salt-tolerance mechanisms (755 citations)
  • Two rice phosphate transporters, OsPht1;2 and OsPht1;6, have different functions and kinetic properties in uptake and translocation. (330 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Oryza sativa, Biochemistry, Mutant and Cell biology. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Botany, concentrating on Mycorrhiza and frequently concerns with Solanaceae. His research on Oryza sativa also deals with topics like

  • Nitrate that intertwine with fields like Agronomy,
  • Shoot which connect with Xylem.

His study in the fields of Phosphate, Transporter, ATPase and Yeast under the domain of Biochemistry overlaps with other disciplines such as Arsenate. In his study, Reporter gene is inextricably linked to Chromosomal translocation, which falls within the broad field of Mutant. His studies in Cell biology integrate themes in fields like Pi, Lateral root and Auxin, Gene.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (33.33%)
  • Oryza sativa (29.74%)
  • Biochemistry (25.64%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Oryza sativa (29.74%)
  • Mutant (23.59%)
  • Biochemistry (25.64%)

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

Guohua Xu mainly focuses on Oryza sativa, Mutant, Biochemistry, Cell biology and Nutrient. His Oryza sativa research integrates issues from Amino acid, Horticulture and Starch. His studies deal with areas such as Tiller, Mycorrhiza and Phosphate as well as Mutant.

Guohua Xu combines subjects such as Periarbuscular membrane and Shoot with his study of Biochemistry. His Cell biology research includes elements of Pi and Gene. His research integrates issues of Cellular ion homeostasis, Nitrate and Botany in his study of Nutrient.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Plant abiotic stress response and nutrient use efficiency. (72 citations)
  • Theanine transporters identified in tea plants (Camellia sinensis L.). (17 citations)
  • Functional analysis of the OsNPF4.5 nitrate transporter reveals a conserved mycorrhizal pathway of nitrogen acquisition in plants (16 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

Guohua Xu mainly investigates Amino acid, Shoot, Oryza sativa, Biophysics and Botany. His work is dedicated to discovering how Amino acid, Amino acid transporter are connected with Japonica, Amino acid permease, Camellia sinensis and Yeast and other disciplines. His biological study deals with issues like Biochemistry, which deal with fields such as Pteris vittata.

The concepts of his Oryza sativa study are interwoven with issues in Starch, Vascular bundle, Germination, Horticulture and Anthesis. His Biophysics research includes themes of Homeostasis, Apoplast, Intracellular pH, Plant cell and Assimilation. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Botany, Nutrient is strongly linked to Rhizophagus irregularis.
