Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

Gene
Fungus
Enzyme

Annegret Kohler spends much of her time researching Botany, Genome, Symbiosis, Gene and Genetics. Her Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Laccaria bicolor, Mycorrhiza and Rhizophagus irregularis. Her research in Genome intersects with topics in Quantitative trait locus, Forest ecology and Species complex.

Her research investigates the connection between Symbiosis and topics such as Regulation of gene expression that intersect with problems in Callose, Mutant and Arabidopsis. In general Gene, her work in Phylogenetics, Whole genome sequencing and Populus trichocarpa is often linked to Heterobasidion and Heterobasidion irregulare linking many areas of study. A large part of her Genetics studies is devoted to Fungal genetics.

Her most cited work include:

The paleozoic origin of enzymatic lignin decomposition reconstructed from 31 fungal genomes (1059 citations)
The genome of Laccaria bicolor provides insights into mycorrhizal symbiosis (798 citations)
Convergent losses of decay mechanisms and rapid turnover of symbiosis genes in mycorrhizal mutualists. (527 citations)

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

Botany, Gene, Symbiosis, Genome and Genetics are her primary areas of study. Her Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Laccaria bicolor, Mycorrhiza and Transcriptome. Her Gene study results in a more complete grasp of Biochemistry.

Her Symbiosis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Salicylic acid, Ecology and Plant defense against herbivory. The various areas that Annegret Kohler examines in her Genome study include Tuber melanosporum, Phylogenetics and Evolutionary biology. Many of her research projects under Genetics are closely connected to Melampsora with Melampsora, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

She most often published in these fields:

Botany (54.86%)
Gene (34.72%)
Symbiosis (31.94%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

Symbiosis (31.94%)
Cell biology (16.67%)
Fungus (12.50%)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Symbiosis, Cell biology, Fungus, Botany and Genome. Annegret Kohler interconnects Vaccinium myrtillus, Transcriptome, Ericaceae and Abiotic component in the investigation of issues within Symbiosis. Her Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Laccaria bicolor, Mutant, Xylem and Yeast.

Her Fungus study also includes fields such as

Signal transduction and related Fungal genetics,
Host which intersects with area such as Arabidopsis thaliana, Arabidopsis, Mycobiota and Genetic variation. Annegret Kohler works mostly in the field of Botany, limiting it down to topics relating to Pezizomycetes and, in certain cases, Tuber brumale, Tuber indicum, Sexual reproduction and Truffle. Her Genome research includes elements of Evolutionary biology, Cantharellales, Russulales and Mucoromycotina.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

Large-scale genome sequencing of mycorrhizal fungi provides insights into the early evolution of symbiotic traits. (25 citations)
Multi-omic analyses of exogenous nutrient bag decomposition by the black morel Morchella importuna reveal sustained carbon acquisition and transferring. (11 citations)
SlZRT2 Encodes a ZIP Family Zn Transporter With Dual Localization in the Ectomycorrhizal Fungus Suillus luteus. (9 citations)

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

Gene
Fungus
Enzyme

Her main research concerns Cell biology, Mycelium, Mutant, Symbiosis and Laccaria bicolor. The study incorporates disciplines such as Yeast and Suillus luteus in addition to Cell biology. Her Mycelium study incorporates themes from Secretory protein, Transcription factor, RNA interference, Bimolecular fluorescence complementation and Effector.

Her Mutant research incorporates themes from Gene product, Gene expression and Mycorrhiza. Her study in Symbiosis focuses on Hartig net in particular. The concepts of her Laccaria bicolor study are interwoven with issues in Plant defense against herbivory and Cell wall.
