Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Botany

Her primary areas of study are Botany, Germination, Abscisic acid, Seed dormancy and Dormancy. Her work on Botany deals in particular with Desiccation tolerance and Desiccation. Her Germination study incorporates themes from Endosperm and Ricinus.

Her research in Abscisic acid intersects with topics in Chromatography and Electrospray ionization. Her Seed dormancy study combines topics in areas such as Gibberellin and Phaseic acid. Her work carried out in the field of Dormancy brings together such families of science as Chromatin and Seedling.

Her most cited work include:

  • A method for profiling classes of plant hormones and their metabolites using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry: an analysis of hormone regulation of thermodormancy of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) seeds. (290 citations)
  • Regulatory mechanisms involved in the transition from seed development to germination. (281 citations)
  • The etr1-2 mutation in Arabidopsis thaliana affects the abscisic acid, auxin, cytokinin and gibberellin metabolic pathways during maintenance of seed dormancy, moist-chilling and germination (263 citations)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Botany, Germination, Biochemistry, Dormancy and Abscisic acid. Her work deals with themes such as Storage protein and Horticulture, which intersect with Botany. The concepts of her Germination study are interwoven with issues in Endosperm, Ricinus and Embryo.

Specifically, her work in Dormancy is concerned with the study of Seed dormancy. Her studies in Seed dormancy integrate themes in fields like Auxin and Seed treatment. She interconnects Chromatography and Ectopic expression in the investigation of issues within Abscisic acid.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (55.75%)
  • Germination (40.71%)
  • Biochemistry (27.43%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2010-2019)?

  • Biochemistry (27.43%)
  • Botany (55.75%)
  • Germination (40.71%)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Biochemistry, Botany, Germination, Recombinant DNA and Cell biology. When carried out as part of a general Botany research project, her work on Seed dormancy is frequently linked to work in Vesicle, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. Her Seed dormancy research includes elements of Genetics, Gene expression and Gene.

Her Dormancy and Radicle study in the realm of Germination connects with subjects such as Materials science. Her Recombinant DNA study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Protein purification, Hydrolase, Biotechnology, Glycosylation and Mannose. The various areas that Allison R. Kermode examines in her Cell biology study include Endosperm, Arabidopsis and Abscisic acid.

Between 2010 and 2019, her most popular works were:

  • Demethylesterification of Cell Wall Pectins in Arabidopsis Plays a Role in Seed Germination (95 citations)
  • Evolutionarily Conserved Histone Methylation Dynamics during Seed Life-Cycle Transitions (52 citations)
  • Seed dormancy cycling in Arabidopsis: chromatin remodelling and regulation of DOG1 in response to seasonal environmental signals (43 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Botany

Allison R. Kermode mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Mutant, Glucocerebrosidase, Dormancy and Seed dormancy. In general Mutant, her work in Arabidopsis thaliana is often linked to Mucopolysaccharidosis type I and Iduronidase linking many areas of study. She combines subjects such as Chromatin, Genetics, Regulation of gene expression and Histone with her study of Dormancy.

Her research integrates issues of Arabidopsis, Auxin, Botany and Cell biology in her study of Plant hormone. Allison R. Kermode has included themes like Pectin, Germination and Endosperm in her Arabidopsis study. Allison R. Kermode usually deals with Auxin and limits it to topics linked to Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Abscisic acid.
