Overview

Yasuyuki Nomura is affiliated with Kurume University in Japan and conducts research primarily within the fields of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, focusing on Plant Science and Molecular Biology. Their academic contributions encompass 19 publications in Agricultural and Biological Sciences and 12 in Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology, highlighting a multidisciplinary approach to plant biology and molecular genetics.

The research topics covered by Nomura emphasize plant responses to environmental stresses and molecular biological mechanisms. Key areas of focus include:

  • Plant responses to water stress
  • Plant Molecular Biology Research
  • Plant Stress Responses and Tolerance
  • Plant Gene Expression Analysis
  • Photosynthetic Processes and Mechanisms
  • Plant and animal studies
  • Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies

Nomura has contributed multiple papers to scientific literature, published in venues such as Journal of Ecology, Plant and Cell Physiology, Functional Plant Biology, and Plant Cell & Environment. Representative papers include:

  • Drastic shift in flowering phenology of F 1 hybrids causing rapid reproductive isolation in Imperata cylindrica in Japan, 2022, Journal of Ecology
  • Subgenome-informed statistical modeling of transcriptomes in 25 common wheat accessions reveals cis- and trans-regulation architectures, 2025, Plant and Cell Physiology

Additionally, Nomura has coauthored works related to plant adaptation under various environmental conditions, demonstrating a cross-disciplinary interest in ecology and molecular biology as it pertains to plant science.

Frequent coauthors include:

  • Atsushi J. Nagano
  • Yuko Kurita
  • Mari Kamitani
  • Makoto Kashima
  • Tohru Tominaga

Nomura's publications have appeared regularly in several journals, contributing at least five articles in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), two in Plant Cell & Environment, and others in Root Research, Nihon Kikan Shokudoka Gakkai Kaiho, and Nature Communications.

The scientist's body of work reflects ongoing investigation into the molecular underpinnings of plant stress responses, gene expression modifications, and phenological changes induced by environmental factors. This research informs understanding of plant adaptation mechanisms to water deficit, heat, and other abiotic stresses through experimental data and statistical modeling.
