Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria

Yonggyun Kim mainly focuses on Spodoptera, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Exigua and Gene expression. His studies deal with areas such as Prophenoloxidase, Cellular immunity, Sf9, RNA interference and Cell biology as well as Spodoptera. The concepts of his Microbiology study are interwoven with issues in Diamondback moth, Antibacterial activity, Bacteria and Escherichia coli.

In Exigua, Yonggyun Kim works on issues like Hemolymph, which are connected to Phagocytosis. His Gene expression study improves the overall literature in Gene. His Gene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Molecular biology and Virology.

His most cited work include:

  • Host physiological changes due to parasitism of a braconid wasp, Cotesia plutellae, on diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella. (112 citations)
  • Identification of an antibacterial compound, benzylideneacetone, from Xenorhabdus nematophila against major plant-pathogenic bacteria. (106 citations)
  • Eicosanoids mediate prophenoloxidase release from oenocytoids in the beet armyworm Spodoptera exigua. (106 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Spodoptera, Microbiology, Exigua and Gene. His Spodoptera research incorporates elements of Phospholipase A2, RNA interference, Immune system and Cell biology. In his research on the topic of Microbiology, Photorhabdus is strongly related with Xenorhabdus.

His Exigua research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Hemolymph, Phagocytosis and Beet armyworm. His research in Gene focuses on subjects like Molecular biology, which are connected to Peptide sequence. Yonggyun Kim works mostly in the field of Diamondback moth, limiting it down to topics relating to Polydnavirus and, in certain cases, Bracovirus and Virology, as a part of the same area of interest.
