Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Gene

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Horticulture, Agronomy, Homoptera and Whitefly. The various areas that Tong-Xian Liu examines in his Botany study include Reactive oxygen species and Spinosad. The concepts of his Horticulture study are interwoven with issues in Pyrethroid and Larva.

His work on Germination, Imidacloprid and Malvaceae as part of general Agronomy research is frequently linked to Exigua and Beet armyworm, bridging the gap between disciplines. The Whitefly study combines topics in areas such as Biological pest control, Nymph, Pyriproxyfen and Instar. His Instar study combines topics in areas such as Parasitoid and Hymenoptera.

His most cited work include:

  • Net cadmium flux and accumulation reveal tissue-specific oxidative stress and detoxification in Populus × canescens. (148 citations)
  • Feeding and Life History of Spodoptera exigua (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) on Different Host Plants (128 citations)
  • Nitrogen metabolism of two contrasting poplar species during acclimation to limiting nitrogen availability (117 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Botany, Horticulture, Agronomy, Whitefly and Aphid. In his research on the topic of Botany, Harmonia axyridis is strongly related with Zoology. His Horticulture research includes themes of Fecundity, Lepidoptera genitalia and Longevity.

Tong-Xian Liu interconnects Hemiptera and Bactericera cockerelli in the investigation of issues within Agronomy. His Whitefly study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Greenhouse whitefly, Homoptera, Trialeurodes, Biological pest control and Encarsia. His research integrates issues of Acyrthosiphon pisum, Sitobion avenae, Aphididae and Phloem in his study of Aphid.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (46.19%)
  • Horticulture (35.17%)
  • Agronomy (29.66%)

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

  • Aphid (23.31%)
  • Botany (46.19%)
  • Myzus persicae (11.44%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Aphid, Botany, Myzus persicae, Horticulture and Parasitoid. His Aphid research incorporates elements of Zoology, Acyrthosiphon pisum, Aphididae, Host and Biological pest control. His Botany study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Stimulation and Sucrose.

Tong-Xian Liu works mostly in the field of Myzus persicae, limiting it down to topics relating to Brassica oleracea and, in certain cases, Pepper and Pest control, as a part of the same area of interest. His work investigates the relationship between Horticulture and topics such as Longevity that intersect with problems in Abiotic component and Fecundity. His Whitefly study also includes

  • Nymph that intertwine with fields like Polyphenism,
  • Agronomy that connect with fields like Hemiptera.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Metal contaminant accumulation in the hive: Consequences for whole‐colony health and brood production in the honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) (43 citations)
  • The green peach aphid Myzus persicae perform better on pre-infested Chinese cabbage Brassica pekinensis by enhancing host plant nutritional quality. (36 citations)
  • Laboratory bioassays on the impact of cadmium, copper and lead on the development and survival of honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) larvae and foragers (33 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Gene

Aphid, Botany, Agronomy, Myzus persicae and Whitefly are his primary areas of study. His Botany research includes elements of Regulation of gene expression and Toxicology. His research in Agronomy focuses on subjects like Sitobion avenae, which are connected to Germplasm.

His Myzus persicae study introduces a deeper knowledge of Horticulture. He has included themes like Fecundity and Phloem in his Horticulture study. His Whitefly research incorporates themes from Solanum, Melongena, Cultivar, Hemiptera and PEST analysis.
