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)

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.
