Research Dynamics and Visual Analysis of Soybean Root Diseases Based on Bibliometric

Based on the Web of Science database, the hot spots and research trends of soybean root diseases from 2000 to 2022 were analyzed using bibliometric methods combining Vosviewer software to clarify the current status and development trend of research. The results showed that 1 245 articles were published between 2000 and 2022, and the number of articles has been increasing year by year. The top two countries in the world in terms of the number of English papers are United States and China, respectively. The institution with the highest number of articles is from the United States, followed by Chinese institutions. The journal with the highest number of articles was Plant Disease, followed by Molecular Plant Microbe Interactions and BMC Plant Biology Crop. The researcher with the highest number of publications internationally was Dorrance Anne E., followed by Mitchum Melissa Goellner, and the researcher in China is Prof. Yuanchao Wang, followed by Prof. Han Xing, respectively. Keywords analysis showed that research in the field was mainly focused on the identification of pathogens and their mechanisms of infecting soybean plants and the mining of soybean disease-resistance related genes. Research related to disease control has been strengthened in recent years, and biological control and field management methods have been further explored in depth.
