Overview

Junji Takabayashi is affiliated with Kyoto University in Japan and specializes in Agricultural and Biological Sciences, with a focus on Insect Science, Plant Science, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, and Molecular Biology. Their research primarily centers on insect-plant interactions, plant and animal studies, and insect and pesticide research, with additional work in plant parasitism and resistance, insect pest control strategies, plant biochemistry and biosynthesis, and ecology and vegetation dynamics studies.

They have published extensively, contributing to several frequent publication venues, including Frontiers in Plant Science, Ecology and Evolution, Arthropod-Plant Interactions, Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, and Plant Molecular Biology.

Some of their recent papers are:

The rice wound-inducible transcription factor RERJ1 sharing same signal transduction pathway with OsMYC2 is necessary for defense response to herbivory and bacterial blight (2021, Plant Molecular Biology)
Identification of a tomato UDP-arabinosyltransferase for airborne volatile reception (2023, Nature Communications)
Effective distance of volatile cues for plant-plant communication in beech (2021, Ecology and Evolution)
Herbivory-Induced Plant Volatiles Mediate Multitrophic Relationships in Ecosystems (2022, Plant and Cell Physiology)
Targeting diamondback moths in greenhouses by attracting specific native parasitoids with herbivory-induced plant volatiles (2020, Royal Society Open Science)
