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)

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.
