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

  • Agronomy
  • Botany
  • Gene

Lixiao Nie spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Grain yield, Panicle, Germination and Sowing. When carried out as part of a general Agronomy research project, his work on Crop yield and Control treatment is frequently linked to work in Greenhouse gas and Mathematics, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His Grain yield research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cultivar, Yield, Leaf area index, Dry weight and Inbred strain.

His Cultivar research integrates issues from Biomass, Canopy, Dry matter and Pollen. The concepts of his Germination study are interwoven with issues in Oryza sativa, Starch and Longevity. His work carried out in the field of Sowing brings together such families of science as Waterlogging, Weed, Crop, Irrigation and Weedy rice.
