Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Enzyme

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Lotus japonicus, Botany, Mutant, Root nodule and Cell biology. His Lotus japonicus research incorporates elements of Rhizobia, Plant Root Nodulation and Lotus. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Evolutionary biology and Organogenesis, Gene.

His Mutant research incorporates themes from Phenotype and Rhizobiaceae. His Root nodule research includes elements of Biochemistry, Signal transduction, Cytokinin and Plant physiology. His studies deal with areas such as Primordium, Nicotiana benthamiana, Arabidopsis, Transcription factor and Meristem as well as Cell biology.

His most cited work include:

  • Genome of an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus provides insight into the oldest plant symbiosis (451 citations)
  • HAR1 mediates systemic regulation of symbiotic organ development (436 citations)
  • HAR1 mediates systemic regulation of symbiotic organ development (436 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Lotus japonicus, Botany, Mutant, Root nodule and Symbiosis. His research in Lotus japonicus intersects with topics in Rhizobia, Lotus and Cell biology. He has researched Botany in several fields, including Rhizophagus irregularis and Arbuscular mycorrhiza.

His work carried out in the field of Mutant brings together such families of science as Phenotype, Root hair and Bacteria. His Root nodule study combines topics in areas such as Transcription factor, Kinase and Shoot. Masayoshi Kawaguchi interconnects Ecology and Transcriptome in the investigation of issues within Symbiosis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Lotus japonicus (88.18%)
  • Botany (81.77%)
  • Mutant (50.25%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Symbiosis (46.80%)
  • Lotus japonicus (88.18%)
  • Root nodule (52.22%)

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

Masayoshi Kawaguchi focuses on Symbiosis, Lotus japonicus, Root nodule, Botany and Rhizophagus irregularis. His Symbiosis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Nodule, Lateral root and Organogenesis, Gene. His Lotus japonicus study incorporates themes from Rhizobia and Nitrogen fixation.

The concepts of his Root nodule study are interwoven with issues in Transcription factor, Lotus, Root hair, Medicago truncatula and Cell biology. Masayoshi Kawaguchi combines topics linked to Plant biochemistry with his work on Botany. His Rhizophagus irregularis study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Hypha, Fungus and Spore.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A NIN-LIKE PROTEIN mediates nitrate-induced control of root nodule symbiosis in Lotus japonicus. (60 citations)
  • A NIN-LIKE PROTEIN mediates nitrate-induced control of root nodule symbiosis in Lotus japonicus. (60 citations)
  • A shared gene drives lateral root development and root nodule symbiosis pathways in Lotus. (37 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Symbiosis, Lotus japonicus, Cell biology, Rhizophagus irregularis and Root nodule. His work on Gene expands to the thematically related Symbiosis. His Lotus japonicus study improves the overall literature in Mutant.

He combines subjects such as Nodule, Microbiology, Bacteria, Golgi apparatus and Medicago truncatula with his study of Mutant. His work deals with themes such as Spore, Fungus, Botany, Hypha and Fatty acid, which intersect with Rhizophagus irregularis. Plant Root Nodulation, Transcription factor, Regulator, Mesorhizobium loti and Nitrogen fixation is closely connected to Rhizobium in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Rhizobia.
