Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Organic chemistry
  • Gene

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Orobanche, Strigolactone, Germination and Plant physiology. Much of his study explores Botany relationship to Dwarfism. His study looks at the relationship between Orobanche and fields such as Striga, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His Strigolactone study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Phosphorus deficiency and Nicotiana tabacum. His Germination research incorporates elements of Cultivar, Parasitic plant and Orobanchaceae. The Plant physiology study combines topics in areas such as Sugar, Chlorophyll, Horticulture and Daminozide.

His most cited work include:

  • 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)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Germination, Orobanche minor, Orobanche and Agronomy. His studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like Oryza sativa and Strigolactone. His Strigolactone study combines topics in areas such as Chromatography and Phosphorus deficiency.

The Germination study which covers Parasitic plant that intersects with Fluridone. Yasutomo Takeuchi combines subjects such as Exudate, Red Clover, Striga hermonthica, Stereochemistry and Orobanchol with his study of Orobanche minor. His Orobanche research integrates issues from Striga and Weed.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (52.14%)
  • Germination (39.29%)
  • Orobanche minor (19.29%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2015)?

  • 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.
