Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Gene
Botany
Biochemistry

His primary scientific interests are in Sieve tube element, Biophysics, Phloem, Botany and Forisome. The concepts of his Phloem study are interwoven with issues in Plasmodesma and Vicia faba. Many of his research projects under Botany are closely connected to Laser light and Confocal laser scanning microscopy with Laser light and Confocal laser scanning microscopy, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

Aart J. E. van Bel works mostly in the field of Aphid, limiting it down to concerns involving Saliva and, occasionally, Photoassimilate, Arthropod mouthparts and Electrical penetration graph. His Forisome research includes elements of Callose, Pressure Flow Hypothesis and Turgor pressure. His Biochemistry research incorporates elements of Microinjection and Cell biology.

His most cited work include:

Molecular sabotage of plant defense by aphid saliva (396 citations)
Sieve Tubes in Action (280 citations)
Physical and chemical interactions between aphids and plants (232 citations)

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

His main research concerns Phloem, Botany, Sieve tube element, Biophysics and Forisome. His Phloem research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cell biology, Biochemistry, Plasmodesma and Vicia faba. When carried out as part of a general Biochemistry research project, his work on Gene expression, Saliva and Cell wall is frequently linked to work in Divalent, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

As a part of the same scientific study, Aart J. E. van Bel usually deals with the Botany, concentrating on Sucrose and frequently concerns with Photosynthesis, Commelinaceae and Sugar. His Sieve tube element research includes themes of Callose, Aphid, Phloem transport and Turgor pressure. His Biophysics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Membrane and Cell type.

He most often published in these fields:

Phloem (63.44%)
Botany (47.31%)
Sieve tube element (46.24%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

Phloem (63.44%)
Cell biology (19.35%)
Sieve tube element (46.24%)

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

Phloem, Cell biology, Sieve tube element, Phytoplasma and Sieve are his primary areas of study. His studies deal with areas such as Vicia faba and Biochemistry as well as Phloem. The various areas that he examines in his Vicia faba study include Biophysics, Pisum and Intracellular.

His work investigates the relationship between Cell biology and topics such as Ultrastructure that intersect with problems in Endoplasmic reticulum. His Sieve tube element study combines topics in areas such as RNA interference, Aphid and Hordeum vulgare. He works mostly in the field of Botany, limiting it down to topics relating to Cytoskeleton and, in certain cases, Chaperone and Actin.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Functional Evaluation of Proteins in Watery and Gel Saliva of Aphids. (44 citations)
Aphid salivary proteases are capable of degrading sieve-tube proteins (36 citations)
Phytoplasma infection in tomato is associated with re-organization of plasma membrane, ER stacks, and actin filaments in sieve elements (22 citations)

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

Gene
Botany
Biochemistry

Aart J. E. van Bel spends much of his time researching Proteases, Biochemistry, Saliva, Phloem and Sieve tube element. Among his Proteases studies, you can observe a synthesis of other disciplines of science such as Callose, Effector, GroEL, Buchnera and Proteome. Aart J. E. van Bel works in the field of Biochemistry, namely Saliva secretion.

His Phloem study is concerned with the larger field of Botany. His Sieve tube element research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Acyrthosiphon pisum and Protein degradation.
