His work carried out in the field of Photochemistry brings together such families of science as Quantum yield and Quenching. He works mostly in the field of P700, limiting it down to topics relating to Photosystem and, in certain cases, Photosystem I, as a part of the same area of interest.

His most cited work include:

• Ozone concentration in leaf intercellular air spaces is close to zero. (392 citations)
• The interplay between limiting processes in C3 photosynthesis studied by rapid-response gas exchange using transgenic tobacco impaired in photosynthesis (105 citations)
• Calculation of Leaf Photosynthetic Parameters Considering the Statistical Distribution of Stomatal Apertures (100 citations)

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

His main research concerns Photosynthesis, Photochemistry, Electron transport chain, Photosystem I and Photosystem II. His Photosynthesis research includes elements of Biophysics and Carbon dioxide. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cytochrome b6f complex, Quenching, Reaction rate constant and Chlorophyll fluorescence in addition to Photochemistry.

The various areas that Agu Laisk examines in his Electron transport chain study include Electron transfer and Analytical chemistry. His work on P700 as part of general Photosystem I research is frequently linked to Far-red, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His P680 study, which is part of a larger body of work in Photosystem II, is frequently linked to Oxygen evolution, bridging the gap between disciplines.

He most often published in these fields:

• Photosynthesis (60.92%)
• Photochemistry (35.63%)
• Electron transport chain (31.03%)
