Shinobu Inanaga mainly investigates Agronomy, Photosynthesis, Plant nutrition, Transpiration and Stomatal conductance. His study in the field of Poaceae, Water-use efficiency and Deficit irrigation also crosses realms of Osmotic shock and Silicon. Shinobu Inanaga combines subjects such as Reductase and Antioxidant with his study of Photosynthesis.

Plant nutrition is integrated with Dry weight, Horticulture, Sorghum and Cultivar in his research. His work in Dry weight covers topics such as Water content which are related to areas like Dry matter, Water conservation and Vegetation. Shinobu Inanaga has researched Horticulture in several fields, including Botany and Absorption of water.

Between 2005 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Overexpression of monodehydroascorbate reductase in transgenic tobacco confers enhanced tolerance to ozone, salt and polyethylene glycol stresses. (333 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Agronomy
  • Irrigation

Shinobu Inanaga mainly investigates Poaceae, Agronomy, Genetically modified crops, Biochemistry and Antioxidant. His studies in Poaceae integrate themes in fields like Chloris gayana, Deficit irrigation, Irrigation and Root system. His studies link Soil drying with Agronomy.

Among his Genetically modified crops studies, there is a synthesis of other scientific areas such as Reductase, Arabidopsis thaliana, Photosynthesis, Western blot and Oxidative stress.
