Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

Alain Ourry mostly deals with Shoot, Agronomy, Brassica, Botany and Nutrient. His Shoot study incorporates themes from Phloem and Quercus robur. His studies in Agronomy integrate themes in fields like Storage protein, Catch crop, Starch and Nitrogen.

His work carried out in the field of Brassica brings together such families of science as Isotopes of nitrogen, Chlorophyll, Taproot and Nitrogen cycle. His Botany research includes themes of Lipid peroxidation, Oxidative stress and Horticulture. Alain Ourry interconnects Hordeum vulgare, Sativum, Pisum and Human fertilization in the investigation of issues within Nutrient.

His most cited work include:

  • A role for nitrogen reserves in forage regrowth and stress tolerance (227 citations)
  • Peroxidases and lignification in relation to the intensity of water-deficit stress in white clover (Trifolium repens L.). (208 citations)
  • Dynamics of Nitrogen Uptake and Mobilization in Field-grown Winter Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus) from Stem Extension to Harvest I. Global N Flows between Vegetative and Reproductive Tissues in Relation to Leaf Fall and their Residual N (153 citations)

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

Alain Ourry focuses on Agronomy, Botany, Brassica, Shoot and Nitrogen. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Nitrate and Animal science. His research in Botany intersects with topics in Zinc and Horticulture.

His Brassica research includes elements of Amino acid, Biochemistry, Sulfur, Nutrient and Human fertilization. His studies examine the connections between Nutrient and genetics, as well as such issues in Plant physiology, with regards to Humic acid. His Shoot study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Dry matter, Starch, Storage protein, Medicago sativa and Taproot.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (58.28%)
  • Botany (53.64%)
  • Brassica (47.68%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Brassica (47.68%)
  • Botany (53.64%)
  • Nutrient (27.81%)

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

Alain Ourry mainly focuses on Brassica, Botany, Nutrient, Horticulture and Agronomy. His Brassica research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Magnesium, Isocitrate dehydrogenase, Sulfur and Nitrogen. He has included themes like Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, Crop, Zinc, Biofortification and Cofactor in his Botany study.

His study in Nutrient is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Shoot, Micronutrient, Rapeseed and Proteases. The Horticulture study combines topics in areas such as Storage protein, Molecular analysis, Phytoremediation and Genetic variation. His Agronomy research incorporates elements of Photosynthesis and Quercus robur.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Leaf mineral nutrient remobilization during leaf senescence and modulation by nutrient deficiency (131 citations)
  • Leaf mineral nutrient remobilization during leaf senescence and modulation by nutrient deficiency (131 citations)
  • Two Biostimulants Derived from Algae or Humic Acid Induce Similar Responses in the Mineral Content and Gene Expression of Winter Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus L.) (38 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Gene

Nutrient, Brassica, Botany, Agronomy and Micronutrient are his primary areas of study. His Nutrient research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Phloem, Shoot and Quercus robur. Brassica is a subfield of Horticulture that Alain Ourry studies.

His research integrates issues of Biochemistry, Metabolism, Cofactor and Membrane transport protein in his study of Botany. His study in the fields of Cultivar, Sativum and Hordeum vulgare under the domain of Agronomy overlaps with other disciplines such as Alnus glutinosa. He combines subjects such as Algae, Humic acid, Crop and Plant physiology with his study of Micronutrient.
