Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Horticulture

Masahiro Mii mainly focuses on Botany, Agrobacterium, Callus, Shoot and Transformation. His Botany research includes elements of Micropropagation, Murashige and Skoog medium, Explant culture and Horticulture. Masahiro Mii has included themes like Root nodule, Arachis hypogaea, Arachis, Root hair and Root system in his Agrobacterium study.

Masahiro Mii interconnects Phalaenopsis, Biochemistry and Somatic embryogenesis in the investigation of issues within Callus. His research in Shoot intersects with topics in Interspecific competition, Carnation, Dianthus japonicus, Ploidy and Cytokinin. Masahiro Mii works mostly in the field of Transformation, limiting it down to concerns involving Rhizobiaceae and, occasionally, Genetically modified crops, Ipomoea, Apical dominance, Gravitropism and Cultivar.

His most cited work include:

  • Micropropagation of Phalaenopsis and Doritaenopsis by culturing shoot tips of flower stalk buds. (162 citations)
  • Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation of a phalaenopsis orchid. (114 citations)
  • INDUCTION OF EMBRYOGENIC CALLUS AND CELL SUSPENSION CULTURE FROM SHOOT TIPS EXCISED FROM FLOWER STALK BUDS OF PHALAENOPSIS (ORCHIDACEAE) (76 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Shoot, Murashige and Skoog medium, Transformation and Agrobacterium. The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Micropropagation, Explant culture and Ploidy. His work deals with themes such as Kinetin, Acclimatization and Cytokinin, which intersect with Shoot.

His Murashige and Skoog medium study incorporates themes from Picloram, Zeatin, Gibberellic acid and Regeneration. Masahiro Mii has researched Transformation in several fields, including Bialaphos and Microbiology. The various areas that he examines in his Agrobacterium study include Inoculation, Phalaenopsis, Beta-glucuronidase, Gene expression and Rhizobiaceae.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (78.99%)
  • Shoot (23.11%)
  • Murashige and Skoog medium (21.01%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Botany (78.99%)
  • Transformation (18.91%)
  • Murashige and Skoog medium (21.01%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Transformation, Murashige and Skoog medium, Genetically modified crops and Agrobacterium tumefaciens. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Explant culture, Molecular biology and Ploidy. His Transformation research includes themes of Dendrobium, Southern blot, Gene expression and Cattleya.

His Murashige and Skoog medium course of study focuses on Gibberellic acid and Plantlet. He usually deals with Agrobacterium tumefaciens and limits it to topics linked to Agrobacterium and Inoculation. His Shoot study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Micropropagation, Dahlia and Callus.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Overexpression of farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase ( FPS ) gene affected artemisinin content and growth of Artemisia annua L. (76 citations)
  • Enhancement of artemisinin content and biomass in Artemisia annua by exogenous GA3 treatment (57 citations)
  • Stable integration and expression of wasabi defensin gene in “Egusi” melon (Colocynthis citrullus L.) confers resistance to Fusarium wilt and Alternaria leaf spot (52 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Horticulture

Masahiro Mii mainly investigates Botany, Transformation, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Transgene and Genetically modified crops. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ploidy and Horticulture. His work focuses on many connections between Transformation and other disciplines, such as Southern blot, that overlap with his field of interest in Microbiology.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Murashige and Skoog medium, Agrobacterium, Transformation efficiency, Molecular biology and Beta-glucuronidase in addition to Agrobacterium tumefaciens. His research integrates issues of Virology, Gene expression and Callus in his study of Agrobacterium. Bacteria is closely connected to Plant disease resistance in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Genetically modified crops.
