  • Botany (52.14%)
  • Germination (39.29%)
  • Orobanche (18.57%)

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

Yasutomo Takeuchi spends much of his time researching Botany, Germination, Orobanche, Strigolactone and Orobanche minor. Botany is often connected to Biochemistry in his work. His Germination research includes elements of Rice hulls, Proton NMR, Monochoria vaginalis and Two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Yasutomo Takeuchi has researched Orobanche in several fields, including Parasitic Weeds, Cultivar, Shoot, Parasitic plant and Orobanchaceae. Yasutomo Takeuchi interconnects Striga and Phosphorus deficiency in the investigation of issues within Strigolactone. The study incorporates disciplines such as Exudate, Salicylic acid, Red Clover, Striga hermonthica and Chromatography in addition to Orobanche minor.

Between 2006 and 2015, his most popular works were:

  • 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)
  • Phosphorus deficiency in red clover promotes exudation of orobanchol, the signal for mycorrhizal symbionts and germination stimulant for root parasites (263 citations)
  • Strigolactones, host recognition signals for root parasitic plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, from Fabaceae plants (215 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Organic chemistry
  • Gene

Strigolactone, Botany, Orobanche, Germination and Striga are his primary areas of study. His Strigolactone research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Phosphorus metabolism, Nitrogen deficiency, Phosphorus deficiency and Orobanche minor. His research integrates issues of Lupinus, Fabaceae and Mutualism in his study of Phosphorus metabolism.

His work on Striga hermonthica, Orobanchaceae and Red Clover as part of general Botany study is frequently linked to Glomeromycota, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Orobanchaceae research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Shoot and Plant physiology. His Nicotiana tabacum research incorporates themes from Parasitic Weeds, Plant roots and Cultivar.
