Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Botany
Gene
Enzyme

Xiaonan Xie mainly focuses on Strigolactone, Botany, Mutant, Orobanche and Nitrogen deficiency. His Strigolactone research includes themes of Rhizosphere, Shoot, Orobanchaceae and Physcomitrella patens. The Rhizosphere study combines topics in areas such as Plant hormone, Red Clover, Parasitic plant, Solanaceae and Glomeromycota.

His Botany research is mostly focused on the topic Germination. His Mutant study combines topics in areas such as Monooxygenase and Biosynthesis, Enzyme. His work deals with themes such as Striga hermonthica, Striga and Mycorrhiza, which intersect with Orobanche.

His most cited work include:

The Strigolactone Story (477 citations)
Nitrogen deficiency as well as phosphorus deficiency in sorghum promotes the production and exudation of 5-deoxystrigol, the host recognition signal for arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and root parasites (276 citations)
Strigolactones, host recognition signals for root parasitic plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, from Fabaceae plants (215 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Strigolactone, Germination, Orobanche and Biosynthesis. His research integrates issues of Rhizosphere and Chromatography in his study of Botany. The study incorporates disciplines such as Striga and Orobanchaceae in addition to Strigolactone.

In the field of Germination, his study on Parasitic Weeds overlaps with subjects such as Avena strigosa. His studies deal with areas such as Host, Parasitic plant and Sorgolactone as well as Orobanche. His Biosynthesis course of study focuses on Arabidopsis and Monooxygenase and Cytochrome P450.

He most often published in these fields:

Botany (70.13%)
Strigolactone (58.44%)
Germination (41.56%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

Mutant (20.78%)
Biosynthesis (20.78%)
Rhizosphere (16.88%)

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

His primary areas of study are Mutant, Biosynthesis, Rhizosphere, Biochemistry and Strigolactone. His Mutant research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Marchantia polymorpha and Cell biology. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Rhizosphere, Phosphate, Plant hormone and Cytokinin is strongly linked to Shoot.

The concepts of his Strigolactone study are interwoven with issues in Striga hermonthica, Botany and Orobanche minor. His work on Solanum as part of general Botany study is frequently connected to Avena strigosa, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. While the research belongs to areas of Orobanche minor, Xiaonan Xie spends his time largely on the problem of Hypha, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Germination.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Conversion of carlactone to carlactonoic acid is a conserved function of MAX1 homologs in strigolactone biosynthesis (54 citations)
Which are the major players, canonical or non-canonical strigolactones? (52 citations)
Lotuslactone, a non-canonical strigolactone from Lotus japonicus. (15 citations)

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

Botany
Gene
Enzyme

Mutant, Rhizosphere, Arabidopsis, Biosynthesis and Germination are his primary areas of study. His studies in Mutant integrate themes in fields like Meristem and Cell biology. His research in Rhizosphere intersects with topics in Biochemistry and Shoot.

Germination is a subfield of Botany that Xiaonan Xie studies. His Botany study incorporates themes from Sunflower and Helianthus annuus. Xiaonan Xie has included themes like Lotus japonicus and Strigolactone in his Medicago truncatula study.
