The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

Yiping Tong focuses on Quantitative trait locus, Agronomy, Botany, Doubled haploidy and Shoot. His work in Quantitative trait locus addresses issues such as Seedling, which are connected to fields such as Plant physiology, Plant nutrition and Poaceae. His studies deal with areas such as Carbon fixation, Sustainable agriculture, Food security and Nitrogen cycle as well as Agronomy.

His Botany research incorporates elements of Arabidopsis, Lateral root, Yeast, Gene and Cell biology. His Gene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Nitrate transport and Hordeum vulgare. Yiping Tong interconnects Crop, Polygene, Horticulture, Tiller and Animal science in the investigation of issues within Doubled haploidy.

His most cited work include:

  • Draft genome of the wheat A-genome progenitor Triticum urartu (563 citations)
  • Vacuolar compartmentalization: a second-generation approach to engineering plants for phytoremediation (205 citations)
  • Characterization of Arsenate Reductase in the Extract of Roots and Fronds of Chinese Brake Fern, an Arsenic Hyperaccumulator (153 citations)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Botany, Quantitative trait locus, Gene and Horticulture. In the subject of general Agronomy, his work in Crop, Yield and Grain yield is often linked to Yield, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His Botany study combines topics in areas such as Arabidopsis thaliana and Arabidopsis.

The subject of his Quantitative trait locus research is within the realm of Genetics. His research integrates issues of Nitrate transport and Fertilizer in his study of Gene. His Shoot study incorporates themes from Plant nutrition and Poaceae.

  • Horticulture (19.32%)
  • Biosynthesis (3.41%)

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

Yiping Tong mainly focuses on Gene, Horticulture, Biosynthesis, Agronomy and Wild type. His study focuses on the intersection of Gene and fields such as Computational biology with connections in the field of Sequence assembly, Whole genome sequencing, Sequence analysis, Genome size and Polyploid. His Cultivar and Shoot study in the realm of Horticulture connects with subjects such as Vacuole.

He works mostly in the field of Biosynthesis, limiting it down to concerns involving Proteome and, occasionally, Botany, Phenotype, Brassinosteroid and Regulation of gene expression. His study on Seedling is often connected to Sustainable development as part of broader study in Agronomy. His work in Nitrogen cycle tackles topics such as Plant breeding which are related to areas like Nitrogen deficiency and Quantitative trait locus.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Modulating plant growth-metabolism coordination for sustainable agriculture (135 citations)
  • Transgenic expression of plastidic glutamine synthetase increases nitrogen uptake and yield in wheat. (38 citations)
  • QTL Detection for Kernel Size and Weight in Bread Wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) Using a High-Density SNP and SSR-Based Linkage Map (32 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

His primary scientific interests are in Horticulture, Candidate gene, Inclusive composite interval mapping, Genetic linkage and Quantitative trait locus. He has included themes like Glutamine synthetase, Wild type, Allele and Transgenic lines in his Horticulture study. Genetics covers Yiping Tong research in Candidate gene.
