Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

Shinjiro Yamaguchi focuses on Arabidopsis, Gibberellin, Mutant, Biochemistry and Gene. The concepts of his Arabidopsis study are interwoven with issues in Transcription factor, Repressor, Abscisic acid and Cell biology. His Cell biology study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Botany.

His Botany research incorporates themes from Endogeny and Strigolactone. His work deals with themes such as Regulation of gene expression and Germination, which intersect with Gibberellin. Shinjiro Yamaguchi studies Arabidopsis thaliana, a branch of Mutant.

His most cited work include:

  • Inhibition of shoot branching by new terpenoid plant hormones (1342 citations)
  • Gibberellin Metabolism and its Regulation (1183 citations)
  • Gibberellin Biosynthesis and Response during Arabidopsis Seed Germination (701 citations)

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

Shinjiro Yamaguchi mostly deals with Biochemistry, Arabidopsis, Gibberellin, Mutant and Botany. His studies in Arabidopsis integrate themes in fields like Arabidopsis thaliana, Abscisic acid, Transgene and Cell biology. He interconnects Hypocotyl and Regulation of gene expression, Gene, Gene expression in the investigation of issues within Gibberellin.

His biological study deals with issues like Oryza sativa, which deal with fields such as Chlorophyll. As part of his studies on Botany, Shinjiro Yamaguchi frequently links adjacent subjects like Plant hormone. Shinjiro Yamaguchi works mostly in the field of Strigolactone, limiting it down to topics relating to Karrikin and, in certain cases, Hydrolase and Ligand.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (41.95%)
  • Arabidopsis (43.10%)
  • Gibberellin (39.66%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Strigolactone (33.33%)
  • Mutant (43.10%)
  • Arabidopsis (43.10%)

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

Shinjiro Yamaguchi mainly investigates Strigolactone, Mutant, Arabidopsis, Cell biology and Gene. His Strigolactone research integrates issues from Strigolactone biosynthesis, Receptor, Karrikin and Function. His Mutant study is concerned with the larger field of Biochemistry.

In his research, Botany and Imbibition is intimately related to Abscisic acid, which falls under the overarching field of Arabidopsis. His Cell biology research includes themes of Phenotype and Zinc finger. His study in Gene is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Haustorium, Host and Striga asiatica.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Lateral branching oxidoreductase acts in the final stages of strigolactone biosynthesis in Arabidopsis (117 citations)
  • Strigolactone perception and deactivation by a hydrolase receptor DWARF14 (76 citations)
  • Strigolactone perception and deactivation by a hydrolase receptor DWARF14 (76 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Gene, Strigolactone, Gibberellin and Parasitic plant. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Oryza sativa and Abscisic acid. The research on Mutant and Arabidopsis is part of his Strigolactone project.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Dioxygenase and Enzyme in addition to Mutant. His Arabidopsis study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Biochemistry. The concepts of his Gibberellin study are interwoven with issues in Plant hormone, Cell signaling, Striga hermonthica and Weed.
