Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Agronomy

Jianchang Yang focuses on Agronomy, Cultivar, Oryza sativa, Horticulture and Poaceae. His work on Crop yield, Fertilizer and Crop as part of general Agronomy study is frequently linked to Mathematics and Greenhouse gas, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Cultivar research incorporates themes from Photosynthesis, Chlorophyll, Plant senescence and Straw.

His Oryza sativa research integrates issues from Botany, Putrescine, Methionine decarboxylase, Arginine decarboxylase and Paddy field. His research investigates the connection between Botany and topics such as Cytokinin that intersect with issues in Gibberellic acid and Gibberellin. His Poaceae study combines topics in areas such as Anthesis and Abscisic acid.

His most cited work include:

  • Producing more grain with lower environmental costs (667 citations)
  • Role of ABA in integrating plant responses to drought and salt stresses (596 citations)
  • Hormonal Changes in the Grains of Rice Subjected to Water Stress during Grain Filling (527 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Cultivar, Oryza sativa, Horticulture and Panicle. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Photosynthesis and Japonica. His work in Cultivar tackles topics such as Grain quality which are related to areas like Brown rice.

Jianchang Yang has researched Oryza sativa in several fields, including Spermine, Poaceae, Spermidine and Plant physiology. His Horticulture research includes elements of Sucrose synthase, Endosperm, Botany and Abscisic acid. Jianchang Yang focuses mostly in the field of Abscisic acid, narrowing it down to matters related to Zeatin and, in some cases, Gibberellin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (65.08%)
  • Cultivar (35.45%)
  • Oryza sativa (34.39%)

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

  • Oryza sativa (34.39%)
  • Agronomy (65.08%)
  • Horticulture (30.69%)

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

Oryza sativa, Agronomy, Horticulture, Irrigation and Cultivar are his primary areas of study. His Oryza sativa research incorporates themes from Biosynthesis, Starch, Panicle, Crop management and Human fertilization. Jianchang Yang interconnects Upland rice, Biomass and Soil drying in the investigation of issues within Agronomy.

His work in the fields of Horticulture, such as Anthesis and Root growth, overlaps with other areas such as Ascorbic acid. His work in Irrigation covers topics such as Crop yield which are related to areas like Urea, Coated urea, Water-use efficiency and Animal science. Jianchang Yang works mostly in the field of Cultivar, limiting it down to topics relating to Root system and, in certain cases, Growing season.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Brassinosteroids function in spikelet differentiation and degeneration in rice. (12 citations)
  • Rice root morphological and physiological traits interaction with rhizosphere soil and its effect on methane emissions in paddy fields (11 citations)
  • Regulation of gene expression involved in the remobilization of rice straw carbon reserves results from moderate soil drying during grain filling. (9 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Gene

Jianchang Yang mainly focuses on Oryza sativa, Cultivar, Grain quality, Agronomy and Horticulture. The concepts of his Oryza sativa study are interwoven with issues in Panicle, Cell biology, Monosaccharide and Human fertilization. The various areas that he examines in his Grain quality study include Soil drying, Irrigation and Starch.

His study in Irrigation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Fertilizer and Rapeseed. His work in Agronomy is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Biomass. His Grain yield, Inflorescence and Meristem study in the realm of Horticulture connects with subjects such as Ascorbic acid.
