His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Biochemistry, Arabidopsis, Botany and Leaching. Weiming Shi interconnects Nitrate, Soil water, Nitrification and Nitrogen balance in the investigation of issues within Agronomy. As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Biochemistry, narrowing it down to issues related to the Hordeum vulgare, and often Northern blot, Peptide sequence and Symporter.

His work carried out in the field of Arabidopsis brings together such families of science as Arabidopsis thaliana, Signal transduction, Auxin and Shoot. His research integrates issues of Abscisic acid and Nitrogen cycle in his study of Botany. Weiming Shi has researched Leaching in several fields, including Pollution, Nutrient pollution and Leachate.

His most cited work include:

  • SOS3 Function in Plant Salt Tolerance Requires N-Myristoylation and Calcium Binding (385 citations)
  • Vegetable cultivation under greenhouse conditions leads to rapid accumulation of nutrients, acidification and salinity of soils and groundwater contamination in South-Eastern China (170 citations)
  • Abscisic acid accumulation modulates auxin transport in the root tip to enhance proton secretion for maintaining root growth under moderate water stress. (162 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Biochemistry, Botany, Arabidopsis and Ammonium. His studies deal with areas such as Soil water and Leaching as well as Agronomy.
