Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Ecology

Wen-Hao Zhang mainly investigates Biochemistry, Botany, Abiotic stress, Arabidopsis and Nitric oxide synthase. His research on Biochemistry often connects related areas such as Biophysics. His work deals with themes such as Membrane transport, Transcription factor, Gene, RNA interference and Cell biology, which intersect with Botany.

His research integrates issues of Genome, microRNA and Protein degradation in his study of Abiotic stress. He interconnects Arabidopsis thaliana and Wild type in the investigation of issues within Arabidopsis. His Nitric oxide synthase research focuses on Sodium nitroprusside and how it relates to Molecular biology, Endogeny and Hydrogen peroxide.

His most cited work include:

  • A R2R3-type MYB gene, OsMYB2, is involved in salt, cold, and dehydration tolerance in rice (391 citations)
  • Nitric Reductase-Dependent Nitric Oxide Production Is Involved in Cold Acclimation and Freezing Tolerance in Arabidopsis (356 citations)
  • Nitric Oxide Synthase-Dependent Nitric Oxide Production Is Associated with Salt Tolerance in Arabidopsis (318 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Biochemistry, Medicago truncatula, Agronomy and Steppe. His Botany study deals with Cell biology intersecting with RNA interference. His study on Arabidopsis, Nitric oxide synthase and Arabidopsis thaliana is often connected to Elongation as part of broader study in Biochemistry.

His Arabidopsis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Wild type and Transcription factor. His research in Steppe intersects with topics in Temperate climate, Artemisia frigida, Ecosystem, Grassland and Rhizotron. His study in Biophysics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Membrane, Membrane transport and Patch clamp.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (34.43%)
  • Biochemistry (24.59%)
  • Medicago truncatula (17.21%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Agronomy (16.39%)
  • Forb (6.56%)
  • Gene (12.30%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Agronomy, Forb, Gene, Steppe and Metal toxicity. His study in the field of RNA and Gene expression also crosses realms of Medicago truncatula. His Steppe research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Perennial plant, Germplasm, Temperate climate and Botany.

As part of his studies on Genome, he often connects relevant subjects like Abiotic stress. His research in Abiotic stress focuses on subjects like Calmodulin, which are connected to Germination. His Germination research includes themes of Osmotic shock, Shoot, Cell biology, Leymus and Seedling.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Armet, an aphid effector protein, induces pathogen resistance in plants by promoting the accumulation of salicylic acid (15 citations)
  • Calmodulin-like gene MtCML40 is involved in salt tolerance by regulating MtHKTs transporters in Medicago truncatula (11 citations)
  • The response of root traits to precipitation change of herbaceous species in temperate steppes (7 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Enzyme

Steppe, Artemisia frigida, Agronomy, Temperate climate and Germination are his primary areas of study. His Steppe research incorporates themes from Leymus and Seedling. His studies in Artemisia frigida integrate themes in fields like Dominance, Carex and Grassland, Forb.

His work on Herbaceous plant as part of general Agronomy study is frequently linked to Common species, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Germination study is concerned with Botany in general.
