Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Botany
Biochemistry
Agronomy

Botany, Hordeum vulgare, Poaceae, Animal science and Shoot are his primary areas of study. His research ties Horticulture and Botany together. His Hordeum vulgare research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Xylem and Transpiration.

His biological study deals with issues like Stele, which deal with fields such as Mannitol. His Transpiration stream study in the realm of Transpiration connects with subjects such as Genetic variation. His Shoot research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Germination and Seedling.

His most cited work include:

Approaches to increasing the salt tolerance of wheat and other cereals (1306 citations)
Displacement of Ca2+ by Na+ from the Plasmalemma of Root Cells A Primary Response to Salt Stress? (589 citations)
Influx of Na+, K+, and Ca2+ into Roots of Salt-Stressed Cotton Seedlings Effects of Supplemental Ca2+ (281 citations)

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

André Läuchli mainly focuses on Botany, Horticulture, Shoot, Xylem and Biophysics. His Botany research integrates issues from Animal science and Ion transporter. In general Horticulture study, his work on Dry weight often relates to the realm of Elongation, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His research on Shoot also deals with topics like

Lactuca which connect with Leaf size,
Channel blocker most often made with reference to Halophyte. His studies deal with areas such as Vascular bundle, Stele, Phloem and Parenchyma as well as Xylem. His Biophysics study incorporates themes from Cytoplasm, Biochemistry, Vacuole and Apoplast.

He most often published in these fields:

Botany (61.54%)
Horticulture (23.08%)
Shoot (22.12%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1996-2015)?

Botany (61.54%)
Apoplast (8.65%)
Xylem (23.08%)

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

His primary areas of study are Botany, Apoplast, Xylem, Biophysics and Agronomy. His Halophyte research extends to Botany, which is thematically connected. His Apoplast study combines topics in areas such as Phytotoxicity, Vicia faba and Intracellular.

André Läuchli works mostly in the field of Biophysics, limiting it down to topics relating to Parenchyma and, in certain cases, Endodermis, Phloem, Transpiration stream and Proton transport, as a part of the same area of interest. His study in the field of Cropping system, Crop rotation and Irrigation is also linked to topics like Drainage and Water quality. His Hordeum vulgare research includes elements of Osmosis and Plant breeding.

Between 1996 and 2015, his most popular works were:

Approaches to increasing the salt tolerance of wheat and other cereals (1306 citations)
Salinity : environment - plants - molecules (252 citations)
The interaction between salinity and boron toxicity affects the subcellular distribution of ions and proteins in wheat leaves (102 citations)

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

Botany
Biochemistry
Agronomy

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Transpiration, Transpiration stream, Apoplast and Phytotoxicity. The various areas that André Läuchli examines in his Botany study include Halotolerance and Osmoprotectant. His Transpiration stream study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biophysics, Xylem, Phloem and Endodermis.

He combines subjects such as Dry weight and Intracellular with his study of Apoplast. In his work, Poaceae is strongly intertwined with Ion chromatography, which is a subfield of Phytotoxicity. His work on Hordeum vulgare is typically connected to Genetic variation as part of general Poaceae study, connecting several disciplines of science.
