  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Botany

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Stem rust, Ug99, Genetics, Puccinia and Agronomy. The various areas that he examines in his Stem rust study include Poaceae and Virulence. Ug99 is a subfield of Plant disease resistance that he tackles.

His Plant disease resistance research incorporates elements of Plant genetics and Resistance. Yue Jin has included themes like Genotype and Seedling in his Puccinia study. His Race research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Quantitative trait locus and Food security.

His most cited work include:

  • The emergence of Ug99 races of the stem rust fungus is a threat to world wheat production (417 citations)
  • Detection of virulence to resistance gene Sr24 within race TTKS of Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici. (299 citations)
  • Will Stem Rust Destroy the World’s Wheat Crop (294 citations)

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

Yue Jin mainly investigates Stem rust, Agronomy, Cultivar, Ug99 and Genetics. His Stem rust research includes themes of Plant disease resistance, Puccinia and Race. His Puccinia study which covers Virulence that intersects with Pathogen.

He interconnects Agricultural experiment station and Fusarium in the investigation of issues within Agronomy. His studies deal with areas such as Powdery mildew and Blumeria graminis as well as Cultivar. The various areas that Yue Jin examines in his Ug99 study include Quantitative trait locus, Ploidy, Germplasm and Gene mapping.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Stem rust (55.47%)
  • Agronomy (44.94%)
  • Cultivar (34.82%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Agronomy (44.94%)
  • Winter wheat (21.86%)
  • Stem rust (55.47%)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Winter wheat, Stem rust, Genetics and Resistance. The Winter wheat study which covers Cultivar that intersects with Fusarium and Berberis. His Stem rust study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Plant disease resistance, Evolutionary biology, Agricultural experiment station, Nested association mapping and Puccinia.

The Puccinia study combines topics in areas such as Molecular marker, Genotype and Race. His study in Ug99, Gene, Allele and Linkage is carried out as part of his Genetics studies. His Resistance study incorporates themes from Germplasm, Horticulture and Triticum turgidum.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Improving grain yield, stress resilience and quality of bread wheat using large-scale genomics. (54 citations)
  • Stem rust resistance in wheat is suppressed by a subunit of the mediator complex (10 citations)
  • Molecular marker dissection of stem rust resistance in Nebraska bread wheat germplasm. (7 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Genome

His primary areas of investigation include Stem rust, Genetics, Puccinia, Gene and Ug99. As part of his studies on Stem rust, Yue Jin often connects relevant subjects like Plant disease resistance. His study in Puccinia is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Germplasm, Molecular marker, Genotype and Race.

His work on SNP, Association mapping, Genetic linkage and Linkage is typically connected to Translocation Breakpoint as part of general Gene study, connecting several disciplines of science. His study focuses on the intersection of Ug99 and fields such as Haplotype with connections in the field of Resistance, Common wheat and Epistasis. His Cultivar research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Agricultural experiment station and Fusarium.
