Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • DNA

Her primary scientific interests are in Botany, Amplified fragment length polymorphism, Genetics, Genetic marker and Microsatellite. The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Ploidy and Agrobacterium. Her work carried out in the field of Amplified fragment length polymorphism brings together such families of science as Polymorphism, RAPD, Genetic variation and Restriction fragment length polymorphism.

Her research in Genetics intersects with topics in Biodiversity and Environmental planning. In Genetic marker, Angela Karp works on issues like Molecular marker, which are connected to Salicaceae, Gene mapping, Salix viminalis and Reproducibility. The various areas that Angela Karp examines in her Microsatellite study include Germplasm and Genomic library.

Her most cited work include:

  • Reproducibility testing of RAPD, AFLP and SSR markers in plants by a network of European laboratories (768 citations)
  • Microsatellite libraries enriched for several microsatellite sequences in plants. (524 citations)
  • Bioenergy from plants and the sustainable yield challenge (383 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Willow, Agronomy, Genetics and Bioenergy. While the research belongs to areas of Botany, Angela Karp spends her time largely on the problem of Ploidy, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Genome. Angela Karp has included themes like Short rotation coppice, Woody plant and Genotype in her Willow study.

Her study explores the link between Agronomy and topics such as Biomass that cross with problems in Biofuel. Her research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Molecular biology and Genetics. Her studies deal with areas such as Agroforestry and Land use as well as Bioenergy.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (36.61%)
  • Willow (25.89%)
  • Agronomy (21.43%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2009-2017)?

  • Willow (25.89%)
  • Agronomy (21.43%)
  • Botany (36.61%)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Willow, Agronomy, Botany, Biomass and Short rotation coppice. Her Willow research incorporates elements of Coppicing, Woody plant, Photosynthesis and Bioenergy. Her research integrates issues of Canopy and Miscanthus in her study of Agronomy.

Her work investigates the relationship between Botany and topics such as Arabidopsis that intersect with problems in Shoot, Gene mapping and Arabidopsis thaliana. Her Biomass research includes elements of Raw material, Biofuel and Renewable energy. Her work is dedicated to discovering how Short rotation coppice, Short rotation forestry are connected with Ethanol fuel and other disciplines.

Between 2009 and 2017, her most popular works were:

  • Genetic improvement of willow for bioenergy and biofuels. (141 citations)
  • Meeting the challenge of food and energy security (95 citations)
  • The Role of Bioenergy in a Climate-Changing World (55 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • DNA

Her main research concerns Willow, Agronomy, Short rotation coppice, Botany and Biomass. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Coppicing and Miscanthus, Bioenergy. Her work focuses on many connections between Short rotation coppice and other disciplines, such as Short rotation forestry, that overlap with her field of interest in Ethanol fuel.

Her research in Salix viminalis, Cell wall, Secondary cell wall and Woody plant are components of Botany. Angela Karp frequently studies issues relating to Biofuel and Biomass. Angela Karp combines subjects such as Locus, Germplasm, Allele and Genetic diversity with her study of Salicaceae.
