Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Enzyme

Yongchao Liang mostly deals with Botany, Silicon, Shoot, Agronomy and Biochemistry. His Silicon study combines topics in areas such as Plant species, Cucumis, Xylem, Horticulture and Dry matter. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sodium, Plant physiology, Phytotoxicity, Cadmium and Animal science.

His Agronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cucurbitaceae and Soil water, Soil fertility, Soil pH. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Biochemistry, concentrating on Food science and intersecting with Hordeum vulgare. Yongchao Liang has included themes like Superoxide dismutase and Antioxidant in his Glutathione study.

His most cited work include:

  • Mechanisms of silicon-mediated alleviation of abiotic stresses in higher plants: a review. (660 citations)
  • Exogenous silicon (Si) increases antioxidant enzyme activity and reduces lipid peroxidation in roots of salt-stressed barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). (496 citations)
  • Effects of silicon on enzyme activity and sodium, potassium and calcium concentration in barley under salt stress (320 citations)

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

Yongchao Liang focuses on Agronomy, Botany, Soil water, Shoot and Fertilizer. Yongchao Liang has researched Agronomy in several fields, including Soil pH, Nutrient and Soil fertility. His Botany research incorporates elements of Silicon and Bulk soil.

His Soil water research includes themes of Environmental chemistry, Organic matter and Nitrification. He interconnects Phytotoxicity, Superoxide dismutase, Antioxidant and Cadmium in the investigation of issues within Shoot. In general Antioxidant, his work in Lipid peroxidation and Malondialdehyde is often linked to Ascorbic acid linking many areas of study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (42.42%)

  • Cadmium (16.97%)
  • Agronomy (42.42%)

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

His primary areas of study are Environmental chemistry, Cadmium, Agronomy, Sedum alfredii and Fertilizer. His Environmental chemistry research includes elements of Competition, Soil water, Alkali soil and Nitrification. The various areas that Yongchao Liang examines in his Soil water study include Salinity, Brackish water and Irrigation.

His studies deal with areas such as Reactive oxygen species, Glutathione, Arsenic, Second messenger system and Cell wall as well as Cadmium. Yongchao Liang works in the field of Agronomy, focusing on Straw in particular. His Fertilizer research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Incubation, Soil pH, Manure, Leaching and Human fertilization.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Nitrous oxide emission and denitrifier communities in drip-irrigated calcareous soil as affected by chemical and organic fertilizers. (42 citations)
  • Silicon acquisition and accumulation in plant and its significance for agriculture (40 citations)
  • Role of Vertical Transmission of Shoot Endophytes in Root-Associated Microbiome Assembly and Heavy Metal Hyperaccumulation in Sedum alfredii. (23 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Botany
  • Enzyme

Yongchao Liang mainly investigates Agronomy, Abiotic component, Nitrification, Soil water and Sedum alfredii. His work in the fields of Resistance and Fertilizer overlaps with other areas such as Biotic stress. In his research on the topic of Fertilizer, Soil pH is strongly related with Soil carbon.

His biological study deals with issues like Environmental chemistry, which deal with fields such as Competition. The Sedum alfredii study combines topics in areas such as Sedum, Botany and Suberin. His work carried out in the field of Hyperaccumulator brings together such families of science as Peroxidase, Ecotype and Casparian strip, Apoplast.
