Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

Yukihiro Sugimoto mainly focuses on Botany, Germination, Striga, Orobanche and Strigolactone. His studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like Sorghum and Parasitic plant. His work deals with themes such as Diastereomer, Stereochemistry, Synthon, Red Clover and Bioassay, which intersect with Striga.

In general Orobanche study, his work on Orobanche minor often relates to the realm of Target site, thereby connecting several areas of interest. Yukihiro Sugimoto interconnects Ethephon, Moiety, Biosynthesis and Scrophulariaceae in the investigation of issues within Horticulture. His Cell wall study incorporates themes from Vascular tissue and Cultivar.

His most cited work include:

  • Nitrogen deficiency as well as phosphorus deficiency in sorghum promotes the production and exudation of 5-deoxystrigol, the host recognition signal for arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and root parasites (276 citations)
  • Vapor-induced luminescence switching in crystals of the syn isomer of a dinuclear (bipyridine)platinum(II) complex bridged with pyridine-2-thiolate ions. (179 citations)
  • Silicification in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) cultivars with different drought tolerance. (150 citations)

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

Yukihiro Sugimoto mostly deals with Botany, Germination, Horticulture, Stereochemistry and Biochemistry. His study on Striga hermonthica, Striga and Orobanche minor is often connected to Strigolactone as part of broader study in Botany. The various areas that Yukihiro Sugimoto examines in his Striga study include Host and Orobanche.

His Parasitic Weeds study, which is part of a larger body of work in Germination, is frequently linked to Sorgolactone, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work carried out in the field of Horticulture brings together such families of science as Exudate and Agronomy. In the field of Stereochemistry, his study on Alkaloid overlaps with subjects such as Ring.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (43.12%)
  • Germination (29.37%)
  • Horticulture (18.13%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Biochemistry (15.63%)
  • Biosynthesis (15.00%)
  • Botany (43.12%)

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

Yukihiro Sugimoto mainly investigates Biochemistry, Biosynthesis, Botany, Gene and Strigolactone. Yukihiro Sugimoto has included themes like Solanum and Shoot in his Biochemistry study. His work on Germination, Striga and Furostanol glycosides as part of general Botany research is frequently linked to Lesser yam, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

He works on Germination which deals in particular with Orobanche minor. Yukihiro Sugimoto studies Striga hermonthica which is a part of Striga. His Strigolactone study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as 5-deoxystrigol and Heliolactone.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Generation of α-solanine-free hairy roots of potato by CRISPR/Cas9 mediated genome editing of the St16DOX gene. (47 citations)
  • Direct conversion of carlactonoic acid to orobanchol by cytochrome P450 CYP722C in strigolactone biosynthesis (27 citations)
  • A Dioxygenase Catalyzes Steroid 16α-Hydroxylation in Steroidal Glycoalkaloid Biosynthesis (25 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

His primary areas of investigation include Biochemistry, Biosynthesis, Gene, Enzyme and Cytochrome P450. His research in Biochemistry intersects with topics in Sunflower, Cultivar and Orobanchaceae. His Biosynthesis study combines topics in areas such as Solanum, Shoot and Germination.

His study in the field of Transgene and CRISPR also crosses realms of Rhizosphere. His Enzyme research includes elements of Regulation of gene expression and Function. He has researched Cytochrome P450 in several fields, including Hydroxylation, Glycoalkaloid, Solanaceae and Dioxygenase.
