  • 2022 - Research.com Plant Science and Agronomy in China Leader Award

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

Guoping Zhang mainly investigates Botany, Hordeum vulgare, Cadmium, Agronomy and Shoot. His Botany study combines topics in areas such as Chromium, Food science and Horticulture. His Hordeum vulgare study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cell wall, Abscisic acid, Catalase and Chlorophyll fluorescence.

In his research, Growth inhibition is intimately related to Malondialdehyde, which falls under the overarching field of Cadmium. His Agronomy research incorporates elements of Soil Pollutants and Salinity. The Shoot study combines topics in areas such as Photosynthesis, Hydroponics, Plant breeding, Dry weight and Phytotoxicity.

His most cited work include:

  • A chromosome conformation capture ordered sequence of the barley genome (697 citations)
  • The influence of pH and organic matter content in paddy soil on heavy metal availability and their uptake by rice plants (612 citations)
  • Screening plants for salt tolerance by measuring K+ flux: a case study for barley (368 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Agronomy, Hordeum vulgare, Shoot and Cultivar. His research in Botany intersects with topics in Salinity and Genotype. Guoping Zhang usually deals with Agronomy and limits it to topics linked to Nutrient and Phosphorus.

His research integrates issues of Phytotoxicity and Doubled haploidy in his study of Hordeum vulgare. In his research on the topic of Shoot, Animal science, Malondialdehyde, Superoxide dismutase, Food science and Zinc is strongly related with Cadmium. His Cultivar research integrates issues from Protein content and Crop.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (32.83%)
  • Agronomy (28.92%)
  • Hordeum vulgare (23.80%)

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

  • Gene (12.35%)
  • Shoot (21.99%)
  • Hordeum vulgare (23.80%)

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

Guoping Zhang spends much of his time researching Gene, Shoot, Hordeum vulgare, Cultivar and Genetics. His research in Gene tackles topics such as Molecular biology which are related to areas like ATPase, RNA, Homeobox and Leucine zipper. Horticulture covers Guoping Zhang research in Shoot.

His work carried out in the field of Hordeum vulgare brings together such families of science as Chromosomal translocation, Complementation, Mutant, Plant physiology and Tiller. His Cultivar study is concerned with the field of Botany as a whole. His Botany study incorporates themes from Phosphorus metabolism, Lateral root, Phosphorus deficiency, Nitrate reductase and Plant cell.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Whole-Genome Resequencing of a Worldwide Collection of Rapeseed Accessions Reveals the Genetic Basis of Ecotype Divergence (66 citations)
  • Evolution of chloroplast retrograde signaling facilitates green plant adaptation to land (55 citations)
  • The barley pan-genome reveals the hidden legacy of mutation breeding. (21 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

His main research concerns Shoot, Transporter, Cell biology, Hordeum vulgare and Drought tolerance. Guoping Zhang has included themes like Lipid peroxidation, Oxidative stress, Gene, Chromosomal translocation and Metal toxicity in his Shoot study. His Gene study also includes

  • Transcriptome most often made with reference to Poaceae,
  • Crop together with Genotype, microRNA, Genetics and Cultivar.

His Hordeum vulgare study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Shotgun sequencing, Biochemistry, Genomic Structural Variation, Reference genome and Genetic variation. His Drought tolerance study deals with the bigger picture of Agronomy. Xylem is a subfield of Botany that Guoping Zhang investigates.
