Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

His primary areas of study are Botany, Plant defense against herbivory, Plant disease resistance, Jasmonate and Jasmonic acid. Rensen Zeng has researched Botany in several fields, including Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, Inoculation and Oryza sativa. His study looks at the relationship between Plant defense against herbivory and fields such as Glomus, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Trophic level and Methyl jasmonate. In his research on the topic of Methyl jasmonate, Allelopathy is strongly related with Methyl salicylate. His Fungus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Alternaria solani and Solanum.

His most cited work include:

  • Physiological and cytological mechanisms of silicon-induced resistance in rice against blast disease. (170 citations)
  • Interplant communication of tomato plants through underground common mycorrhizal networks. (147 citations)
  • Priming of jasmonate-mediated antiherbivore defense responses in rice by silicon (144 citations)

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

Botany, Allelopathy, Monooxygenase, Plant defense against herbivory and Biochemistry are his primary areas of study. Rensen Zeng is studying Helicoverpa zea, which is a component of Botany. The various areas that Rensen Zeng examines in his Helicoverpa zea study include Microbiology and Aflatoxin.

His Allelopathy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ecology and Invasive species. His research integrates issues of Noctuidae, Spodoptera litura and Detoxification in his study of Monooxygenase. Rensen Zeng has included themes like Symbiotic bacteria, Integrated pest management, Herbivore, Bacteria and Insect in his Plant defense against herbivory study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (77.69%)
  • Allelopathy (31.40%)
  • Monooxygenase (30.58%)

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

  • Gene knockdown (6.61%)
  • Gene (7.44%)
  • Plant defense against herbivory (19.83%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Gene knockdown, Gene, Plant defense against herbivory, Spodoptera litura and Botany. Rensen Zeng combines subjects such as RNA interference and Cell biology with his study of Gene knockdown. The study incorporates disciplines such as Integrated pest management, Herbivore, Helicoverpa zea, Symbiosis and Insect in addition to Plant defense against herbivory.

His study looks at the relationship between Helicoverpa zea and topics such as Saliva, which overlap with Microbiology. His Spodoptera litura research incorporates elements of Reactive oxygen species, Xenobiotic, Cutworm and Midgut. He does research in Botany, focusing on Allelopathy specifically.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Effects of boron, silicon and their interactions on cadmium accumulation and toxicity in rice plants. (62 citations)
  • Activation of CncC pathway by ROS burst regulates cytochrome P450 CYP6AB12 responsible for λ-cyhalothrin tolerance in Spodoptera litura. (16 citations)
  • Deficiency in Silicon Transporter Lsi1 Compromises Inducibility of Anti-herbivore Defense in Rice Plants. (12 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

Rensen Zeng mostly deals with Spodoptera litura, Oryza sativa, Piperonyl butoxide, Botany and Shoot. His Spodoptera litura study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Reactive oxygen species, Xenobiotic and Midgut. As a member of one scientific family, Rensen Zeng mostly works in the field of Midgut, focusing on Cutworm and, on occasion, Plant defense against herbivory, Insect and Allelopathy.

His research investigates the connection with Oryza sativa and areas like Jasmonate which intersect with concerns in Plastid and Chromosomal translocation. Botany is closely attributed to Nutrient in his study. The concepts of his Shoot study are interwoven with issues in Methyl jasmonate, Food science, Gene expression and Enzyme.
