  • Botany
  • Photosynthesis
  • Agronomy

His main research concerns Agronomy, Quantitative trait locus, Botany, Trait and Photosynthesis. His research on Agronomy frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Canopy. In Canopy, he works on issues like Water-use efficiency, which are connected to Transpiration.

His Botany study incorporates themes from Apoptosis and Cell biology. His Photosynthesis research includes themes of Electron transport chain and Chlorophyll. His Phenology study combines topics in areas such as Yield, Biomass, Climate change, Climate model and Poaceae.

His most cited work include:

  • A flexible sigmoid function of determinate growth. (404 citations)
  • A nonlinear model for crop development as a function of temperature (275 citations)
  • Uncertainties in Predicting Rice Yield by Current Crop Models Under a Wide Range of Climatic Conditions (232 citations)

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

Agronomy, Photosynthesis, Botany, Crop and Cultivar are his primary areas of study. His work in the fields of Agronomy, such as Crop yield, Leaf area index and Phenology, intersects with other areas such as Quantitative trait locus. The study incorporates disciplines such as Electron transport chain and Biological system in addition to Photosynthesis.

In general Botany study, his work on C4 photosynthesis, Respiration and Poaceae often relates to the realm of Conductance and Diffusion, thereby connecting several areas of interest. The various areas that Xinyou Yin examines in his Crop study include Biomass, Climate change, Yield and Systems biology. His study in Cultivar is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Panicle and photoperiodism.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (43.31%)
  • Photosynthesis (32.28%)
  • Botany (23.62%)

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

  • Agronomy (43.31%)
  • Photosynthesis (32.28%)
  • Crop (19.69%)

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

Xinyou Yin mostly deals with Agronomy, Photosynthesis, Crop, Cultivar and Horticulture. His Agronomy course of study focuses on Sink and Phenotypic plasticity. His Photosynthesis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Canopy, Acclimatization and Electron transport chain.

Xinyou Yin combines subjects such as Global dimming, Climate change, Crop yield and Stomatal conductance with his study of Crop. His research in Cultivar intersects with topics in Photosynthetic capacity, Panicle and Greenhouse. His work focuses on many connections between RuBisCO and other disciplines, such as Chlorophyll fluorescence, that overlap with his field of interest in Biological system.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Water- and Nitrogen-Use Efficiencies of Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) Based on Whole-Canopy Measurements and Modeling. (150 citations)
  • Agrivoltaic systems to optimise land use for electric energy production (39 citations)
  • Towards a multiscale crop modelling framework for climate change adaptation assessment (34 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Photosynthesis

His scientific interests lie mostly in Photosynthesis, Crop, Environmental resource management, Canopy and Climate change. His work on Stomatal conductance and Photoinhibition as part of general Photosynthesis study is frequently linked to Plant nutrition and Irradiance, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Stomatal conductance study is concerned with the larger field of Botany.

His research combines Horticulture and Botany. The concepts of his Crop study are interwoven with issues in Agricultural ecosystems, Cultivar, Biogas and Renewable energy. His work carried out in the field of Canopy brings together such families of science as Water use, Leaf area index, Agronomy, Water-use efficiency and Transpiration.
