Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

Xiao-Bing Yang spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Soybean rust, Phakopsora pachyrhizi, Fusarium solani and Ecology. His study in Agronomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Agriculture and Biological pest control. Xiao-Bing Yang has included themes like Independence and Statistics in his Soybean rust study.

His Phakopsora pachyrhizi study incorporates themes from Range and Disease severity. His Fusarium solani research incorporates themes from Genetics, Glyphosate, Lactofen, Pesticide and Fungi imperfecti. His work on Overwintering and Genus as part of general Ecology study is frequently connected to East Asia, Western hemisphere and Mycotoxicology, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His most cited work include:

  • One Fungus, One Name: Defining the Genus Fusarium in a Scientifically Robust Way That Preserves Longstanding Use (152 citations)
  • Effects of herbicides on Fusarium solani f.sp. glycines and development of sudden death syndrome in glyphosate-tolerant soybean. (99 citations)
  • Assessment of the Potential Year-Round Establishment of Soybean Rust Throughout the World. (90 citations)

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

Xiao-Bing Yang mostly deals with Agronomy, Soybean rust, Horticulture, Botany and Phakopsora pachyrhizi. His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mold and White. The Soybean rust study which covers Spore that intersects with Germination.

In the subject of general Horticulture, his work in Seedling, Damping off, Brown spot and Leaf spot is often linked to Yield, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His Phakopsora pachyrhizi research includes themes of Overwintering, Ecology and Veterinary medicine. His Cultivar study deals with Glyphosate intersecting with Fungi imperfecti and Fusarium solani.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (50.83%)
  • Soybean rust (30.83%)
  • Horticulture (24.17%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Agronomy (50.83%)
  • Horticulture (24.17%)
  • White (5.83%)

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

Agronomy, Horticulture, White, Mold and Fungicide are his primary areas of study. His work in Agronomy covers topics such as Crop residue which are related to areas like Fusarium. The study incorporates disciplines such as Eucalyptus and Chaetomella raphigera in addition to Horticulture.

His White study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Tillage and Botany. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ribosomal RNA, Genetics, Locus and Phylogenetic tree. His work focuses on many connections between Yield and other disciplines, such as Sclerotinia, that overlap with his field of interest in Stem rot.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • One Fungus, One Name: Defining the Genus Fusarium in a Scientifically Robust Way That Preserves Longstanding Use (152 citations)
  • Soybean Sudden Death Syndrome Species Diversity Within North and South America Revealed by Multilocus Genotyping (38 citations)
  • Climatic and Environmental Trends Observed During Epidemic and Non-epidemic Years of Soybean Sudden Death Syndrome in Iowa (15 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agriculture

His primary scientific interests are in Inoculation, Botany, Soil compaction, Growing season and Sowing. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Spore germination, Germination, Spore and Soybean rust. Phakopsora pachyrhizi and Appressorium are the subjects of his Botany studies.

His Soil compaction study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Toxicology.
