Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Gene
Botany
Genetics

His main research concerns Botany, Shoot, Oryza sativa, Biochemistry and Cadmium. His research ties Mutant and Botany together. Yasuhiro Ishimaru interconnects Genetic marker, Oryza, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Genetically modified crops in the investigation of issues within Mutant.

His research integrates issues of Phloem, Xylem, Yeast and Chromosomal translocation in his study of Shoot. His Chromosomal translocation research includes elements of Vascular bundle and Wild type. The study of Oryza sativa is intertwined with the study of Transformation in a number of ways.

His most cited work include:

Rice plants take up iron as an Fe3+-phytosiderophore and as Fe2+. (479 citations)
The OsNRAMP1 iron transporter is involved in Cd accumulation in rice (298 citations)
Characterizing the role of rice NRAMP5 in Manganese, Iron and Cadmium Transport (278 citations)

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

Yasuhiro Ishimaru mostly deals with Botany, Biochemistry, Oryza sativa, Shoot and Mutant. His work on Xylem as part of general Botany research is often related to Cadmium, thus linking different fields of science. His Oryza sativa research integrates issues from Complementary DNA, Regulation of gene expression and Germination.

His work carried out in the field of Shoot brings together such families of science as Wild type and Phloem. His research in Mutant intersects with topics in Vascular tissue, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Membrane transport protein and Mitochondrion, Cell biology. His Genetically modified crops course of study focuses on Transformation and Genetic marker.

He most often published in these fields:

Botany (71.23%)
Biochemistry (54.79%)
Oryza sativa (45.21%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2019)?

Biochemistry (54.79%)
Cell biology (15.07%)
Arabidopsis thaliana (9.59%)

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

His primary areas of study are Biochemistry, Cell biology, Arabidopsis thaliana, Arabidopsis and Jasmonic acid. His study in the field of Transporter, Amino acid and Pyruvic acid is also linked to topics like Threonine and Ornithine. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Chemical biology and Target protein.

His Jasmonic acid research incorporates themes from Chromosomal translocation, Jasmonate, Lateral root and Auxin, Transport inhibitor. The Signal transduction study which covers Plant defense against herbivory that intersects with Botany. His work deals with themes such as Phenotype, Gibberellin and Function, which intersect with Mutant.

Between 2015 and 2019, his most popular works were:

AtSWEET13 and AtSWEET14 regulate gibberellin-mediated physiological processes (93 citations)
Jasmonate signaling is activated in the very early stages of iron deficiency responses in rice roots (36 citations)
A new transgenic rice line exhibiting enhanced ferric iron reduction and phytosiderophore production confers tolerance to low iron availability in calcareous soil. (21 citations)

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

Gene
Botany
Genetics

Yasuhiro Ishimaru mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Jasmonic acid, Chromosomal translocation, Ubiquitin ligase and Signal transduction. His work on Plant hormone and Mutant as part of general Biochemistry research is frequently linked to Membrane transport, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Jasmonic acid study incorporates themes from Wound response, Arabidopsis thaliana, Transporter and Molecular mechanism.

In his research, Yasuhiro Ishimaru undertakes multidisciplinary study on Chromosomal translocation and L-Isoleucine. Ubiquitin ligase is integrated with Transcription factor, Jasmonate and Psychological repression in his research.
