Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genome
  • Bacteria

Naruo Nikoh mainly focuses on Genetics, Phylogenetics, Gene, Genome and Buchnera. His Genetics study frequently involves adjacent topics like Molecular biology. His Phylogenetics research is mostly focused on the topic Ribosomal DNA.

His Buchnera study combines topics in areas such as Obligate and Acyrthosiphon pisum. Naruo Nikoh combines subjects such as Pisum, Microbiology and Hamiltonella defensa with his study of Acyrthosiphon pisum. In his research on the topic of Genome evolution, Zoology is strongly related with Symbiosis.

His most cited work include:

  • Genome Sequence of the Pea Aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum (1033 citations)
  • Strict Host-Symbiont Cospeciation and Reductive Genome Evolution in Insect Gut Bacteria (293 citations)
  • Horizontal Gene Transfer from Diverse Bacteria to an Insect Genome Enables a Tripartite Nested Mealybug Symbiosis (271 citations)

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

Naruo Nikoh mostly deals with Genetics, Botany, Host, Phylogenetics and Zoology. As part of one scientific family, Naruo Nikoh deals mainly with the area of Genetics, narrowing it down to issues related to the Acyrthosiphon pisum, and often Aphid. Naruo Nikoh interconnects Candidatus, Bacteriome and Bacteriocyte in the investigation of issues within Botany.

His Host research incorporates elements of Symbiosis and Weevil. The concepts of his Phylogenetics study are interwoven with issues in Symbiotic bacteria, Evolutionary biology and Phylogenetic tree. His research in Buchnera focuses on subjects like Obligate, which are connected to Mutualism.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (42.11%)
  • Botany (34.21%)
  • Host (26.32%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Genetics (42.11%)
  • Insect (10.53%)
  • Genome (19.74%)

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

Naruo Nikoh focuses on Genetics, Insect, Genome, Gene and Host. His work in Genetics is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Acyrthosiphon pisum. The study incorporates disciplines such as Pantoea, Symbiosis, Microbial ecology, Bacteria and Obligate in addition to Insect.

The Genome study combines topics in areas such as Mutualism and Ecology. His work carried out in the field of Host brings together such families of science as Symbiotic bacteria, Zoology, Coevolution and Botany. His Botany study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as RNA, Phylogenetics and Metabolic pathway.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Obligate bacterial mutualists evolving from environmental bacteria in natural insect populations. (75 citations)
  • Small genome symbiont underlies cuticle hardness in beetles (54 citations)
  • Suppression of Bedbug’s Reproduction by RNA Interference of Vitellogenin (27 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genome
  • Bacteria

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Gene, Genome, Insect and RNA interference. He has researched Genetics in several fields, including Acyrthosiphon pisum and Effector. His Gene study frequently links to other fields, such as Botany.

His studies deal with areas such as Obligate, Bacteriome, Microbial ecology and RNA as well as Genome. His work deals with themes such as Mutualism, Symbiosis, Bacteria and Pantoea, which intersect with Insect. His study in RNA interference is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Transcriptome, Gene expression, Vitellogenin, Cimex lectularius and Gene silencing.
