Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Her primary areas of investigation include Strigolactone, Botany, Rhizosphere, Orobanche and Phosphorus deficiency. Her research in Strigolactone intersects with topics in Mycorrhiza and Striga. Her Striga research focuses on subjects like Orobanchaceae, which are linked to Parasitic plant, Glomeromycota and Plant hormone.

Many of her research projects under Botany are closely connected to Quorum sensing and Protonema with Quorum sensing and Protonema, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. Her studies in Germination integrate themes in fields like Lupinus, Fabaceae, Mutualism and Plant physiology. Her Mutant research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Regulator, Phosphate deficiency, Pisum and Biosynthesis.

Her most cited work include:

  • The Strigolactone Story (477 citations)
  • Nitrogen deficiency as well as phosphorus deficiency in sorghum promotes the production and exudation of 5-deoxystrigol, the host recognition signal for arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and root parasites (276 citations)
  • Phosphorus deficiency in red clover promotes exudation of orobanchol, the signal for mycorrhizal symbionts and germination stimulant for root parasites (263 citations)

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

Kaori Yoneyama mainly investigates Botany, Strigolactone, Germination, Shoot and Orobanche. Kaori Yoneyama incorporates Botany and Rhizosphere in her studies. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Plant hormone, Red Clover and Striga.

The concepts of her Germination study are interwoven with issues in Brassica, Cultivar and Plant physiology. Her Shoot research incorporates elements of Helianthus annuus, Xylem and Auxin. Her Orobanche study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Arabidopsis thaliana, Brassicaceae, Sorgolactone, Mycorrhiza and Orobanchaceae.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (84.62%)
  • Strigolactone (56.92%)
  • Germination (56.92%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

  • Shoot (40.00%)
  • Germination (56.92%)
  • Botany (84.62%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Shoot, Germination, Botany, Rhizosphere and Mutant. Her Germination study incorporates themes from Vicia faba and Genotype. Her research investigates the connection between Botany and topics such as Helianthus annuus that intersect with problems in Arabidopsis.

Her Mutant research incorporates themes from Biosynthesis, Lotus and Yeast. Her Lotus study combines topics in areas such as Lotus corniculatus, Strigolactone, Recombinant DNA and Enzyme. Her work carried out in the field of Orobanche minor brings together such families of science as Rootstock, TILLING and Cultivar.

Between 2016 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Which are the major players, canonical or non-canonical strigolactones? (52 citations)
  • Which are the major players, canonical or non-canonical strigolactones? (52 citations)
  • Methyl zealactonoate, a novel germination stimulant for root parasitic weeds produced by maize. (25 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Kaori Yoneyama spends much of her time researching Germination, Botany, Rhizosphere, Shoot and Helianthus annuus. Her work on Phelipanche ramosa, Parasitic Weeds and Striga hermonthica as part of general Germination study is frequently linked to Two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her research in Botany is mostly concerned with Orobanche minor.

You can notice a mix of various disciplines of study, such as Biochemistry, Lotus corniculatus, Yeast, Mutant and Strigolactone, in her Rhizosphere studies. Her Shoot research integrates issues from Sunflower, Solanum and Arabidopsis.
