Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Photosynthesis
  • Gene

His primary scientific interests are in Photosynthesis, Botany, RuBisCO, Biochemistry and Acclimatization. His Photosynthesis study incorporates themes from Biophysics, Electron transport chain, Chloroplast and Plant physiology. His Chloroplast research is multidisciplinary, relying on both ATP synthase and Chlorophyll fluorescence.

His Botany research includes elements of Oryza sativa and Horticulture. Wataru Yamori works mostly in the field of Horticulture, limiting it down to topics relating to Spinach and, in certain cases, Chloroplast stroma, Stomatal conductance and Q10. His work on Ribulose as part of general RuBisCO study is frequently linked to Carboxylation, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His most cited work include:

  • Temperature response of photosynthesis in C3, C4, and CAM plants: temperature acclimation and temperature adaptation. (436 citations)
  • Physiological Functions of Cyclic Electron Transport Around Photosystem I in Sustaining Photosynthesis and Plant Growth. (219 citations)
  • Temperature acclimation of photosynthesis in spinach leaves: analyses of photosynthetic components and temperature dependencies of photosynthetic partial reactions (196 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Photosynthesis, Botany, Horticulture, Biophysics and RuBisCO. His research integrates issues of Electron transport chain and Chloroplast in his study of Photosynthesis. His study in the field of Acclimatization, Respiration, Canopy and Photosynthetic capacity is also linked to topics like Survival ratio.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Horticulture, Plant factory are connected with Perilla frutescens and Nutrient and other disciplines. His Biophysics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Photoinhibition, Photosystem II, Mutant and Chemiosmosis. His work on Ribulose as part of general RuBisCO study is frequently linked to Carboxylation, bridging the gap between disciplines.
