  • 2025 - Research.com Plant Science and Agronomy in Slovakia Leader Award

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Gene

Alexander Lux focuses on Botany, Endodermis, Poaceae, Cell wall and Shoot. Botany and Zinc toxicity are commonly linked in his work. His Zinc toxicity study incorporates themes from Hyperaccumulator, Thlaspi caerulescens, Biofortification and Genetic variation.

His Endodermis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Stele and Suberin. His Poaceae study combines topics in areas such as Dry weight, Sorghum, Hydroponics and Drought tolerance. His Apoplast research incorporates themes from Phloem and Xylem.

His most cited work include:

  • Zinc in plants (1169 citations)
  • Zinc in plants (1169 citations)
  • Root responses to cadmium in the rhizosphere: a review (603 citations)

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

Alexander Lux mainly investigates Botany, Endodermis, Suberin, Shoot and Cell wall. His study involves Xylem, Root system, Karwinskia humboldtiana, Apoplast and Ultrastructure, a branch of Botany. His work on Exodermis as part of general Endodermis study is frequently linked to Deposition, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His Suberin research includes themes of Arabidopsis thaliana, Vascular tissue, Lateral root and Cell biology. His research in Shoot intersects with topics in Gibberellic acid, Zea mays and Zinc toxicity. His work carried out in the field of Cell wall brings together such families of science as Staining, Sorghum, Hyperaccumulator and Lignin.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (79.08%)
  • Endodermis (39.22%)
  • Suberin (26.14%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Cell wall (26.80%)
  • Botany (79.08%)
  • Endodermis (39.22%)

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

His primary areas of study are Cell wall, Botany, Endodermis, Suberin and Xylem. His work deals with themes such as Biophysics, Ecotype, Abiotic stress and Sedum alfredii, which intersect with Cell wall. His Botany research integrates issues from Sorghum and Calcicole.

Alexander Lux has researched Endodermis in several fields, including Arabidopsis thaliana, Arabidopsis and Lignin. He interconnects Apoplast, Abscisic acid and Cell biology in the investigation of issues within Suberin. His Xylem research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Lateral root and Shoot.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Alleviation mechanisms of metal(loid) stress in plants by silicon: a review. (17 citations)
  • Alleviation mechanisms of metal(loid) stress in plants by silicon: a review. (17 citations)
  • Abscisic acid-mediated modifications of radial apoplastic transport pathway play a key role in cadmium uptake in hyperaccumulator Sedum alfredii. (16 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Gene

Alexander Lux mostly deals with Cell wall, Endodermis, Oxidative stress, Rhizosphere and Phytotoxicity. In his works, he conducts interdisciplinary research on Cell wall and Deposition. His study on Endodermis is covered under Botany.

His studies deal with areas such as Biophysics, Metalloid, Abiotic stress and Antioxidant as well as Oxidative stress.
