Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Botany

Norihiko Tomooka mainly focuses on Vigna, Botany, Genetics, Domestication and Genetic linkage. His Vigna research incorporates elements of Quantitative trait locus and Cultivar. His Quantitative trait locus study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Microsatellite and Germination.

His study ties his expertise on Genetic variation together with the subject of Botany. Norihiko Tomooka has researched Domestication in several fields, including Germplasm and Crop. His Genetic linkage study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Fabaceae, Restriction fragment length polymorphism and Gene mapping.

His most cited work include:

  • Agriculture: Feeding the future (333 citations)
  • The evolving story of rice evolution (258 citations)
  • The Asian Vigna: Genus Vigna subgenus Ceratotropis genetic resources (119 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Vigna, Botany, Genetic diversity, Domestication and Genetics. His Vigna research incorporates themes from Quantitative trait locus and Cultivar. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Genetic marker, Genetic variation and Amplified fragment length polymorphism.

His Domestication research includes elements of Crop and Introgression. His work in Genetics tackles topics such as Fabaceae which are related to areas like Ploidy. His work carried out in the field of Germplasm brings together such families of science as Vigna umbellata and Agriculture.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Vigna (62.00%)
  • Botany (55.00%)
  • Genetic diversity (25.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Vigna (62.00%)
  • Botany (55.00%)
  • Gene (14.00%)

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

Norihiko Tomooka mostly deals with Vigna, Botany, Gene, Genetics and Domestication. The various areas that he examines in his Vigna study include Quantitative trait locus, Cultivar, Genetic marker and Genetic linkage. His work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as Introgression, Genetic diversity and Phylogenetic tree.

The Genetic diversity study combines topics in areas such as Climate change, Genetic variation and Soil retrogression and degradation. While the research belongs to areas of Gene, Norihiko Tomooka spends his time largely on the problem of Amaranth, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Open reading frame, Peptide sequence and Complementary DNA. His Domestication study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Vigna umbellata and Genus.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Agriculture: Feeding the future (333 citations)
  • The power of single molecule real-time sequencing technology in the de novo assembly of a eukaryotic genome. (49 citations)
  • QTL affecting fitness of hybrids between wild and cultivated soybeans in experimental fields (30 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Vigna, Genome, Gene and Genetic diversity. His Botany study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Quantitative trait locus, Domestication, Genetic marker and Phylogenetic tree. His work deals with themes such as Gene bank, Phylogenetics, Subgenus, Adaptation and TILLING, which intersect with Domestication.

His Vigna study is concerned with the field of Agronomy as a whole. His Gene research focuses on Computational biology and how it connects with Contig, Blat and Genetic variation. His Crop wild relative study in the realm of Genetic diversity connects with subjects such as Food systems.
