Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Ecology
  • DNA

His primary areas of investigation include Biochemistry, Gene, Genetics, Arabidopsis and Phenylpropanoid. His is involved in several facets of Biochemistry study, as is seen by his studies on Methyl jasmonate and Transcription factor. His study in the field of MYB and cDNA library also crosses realms of Somatic embryogenesis.

His Genetics study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Botany. His Arabidopsis study incorporates themes from Cinnamyl-alcohol dehydrogenase, Gynoecium, Lignin and Homology. In his study, Enzyme inducer is strongly linked to Gene expression, which falls under the umbrella field of Phenylpropanoid.

His most cited work include:

  • Ancient signals: comparative genomics of plant MAPK and MAPKK gene families (361 citations)
  • CINNAMYL ALCOHOL DEHYDROGENASE-C and -D Are the Primary Genes Involved in Lignin Biosynthesis in the Floral Stem of Arabidopsis (280 citations)
  • Recent advances in the genetic transformation of trees (160 citations)

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

Armand Séguin mostly deals with Botany, Gene, Genetics, Biochemistry and Gene expression. His work deals with themes such as Plant disease resistance, Pathogen, Transgene, Black spruce and Transformation, which intersect with Botany. Gene is closely attributed to Molecular biology in his research.

The various areas that Armand Séguin examines in his Molecular biology study include Complementary DNA, cDNA library and Southern blot. His research investigates the connection with Methyl jasmonate and areas like Peptide sequence which intersect with concerns in Abscisic acid. His Arabidopsis research includes themes of Arabidopsis thaliana, Cinnamyl-alcohol dehydrogenase, NIMA-Related Kinases, Lignin and Cell biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (39.05%)
  • Gene (38.10%)
  • Genetics (23.81%)

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

  • Soil water (6.67%)
  • Environmental chemistry (3.81%)
  • Effector (3.81%)

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

Armand Séguin mainly focuses on Soil water, Environmental chemistry, Effector, Populus balsamifera and Phytoremediation. The Soil water study combines topics in areas such as Forest ecology, Biogeochemical cycle and Taiga. The concepts of his Effector study are interwoven with issues in Genetics, Fungal protein, Arabidopsis thaliana and Virulence.

His work on KEGG, Arabidopsis and Transcriptome as part of general Genetics research is frequently linked to Metabolome and Melampsora, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. Armand Séguin incorporates Metabolome and Gene in his research. His research on Gene frequently links to adjacent areas such as Xylem.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Infection assays in Arabidopsis reveal candidate effectors from the poplar rust fungus that promote susceptibility to bacteria and oomycete pathogens (31 citations)
  • Rhizoremediation of petroleum hydrocarbons: a model system for plant microbiome manipulation (29 citations)
  • The Ecobiomics project:Advancing metagenomics assessment of soil health and freshwater quality in Canada (9 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Ecology
  • DNA

His primary scientific interests are in Microbiome, Ecology, Biodiversity, Arabidopsis thaliana and Abiotic component. His research in Microbiome intersects with topics in Environmental impact assessment, Environmental monitoring, Taiga, Soil microbiology and Metagenomics. When carried out as part of a general Ecology research project, his work on Novel ecosystem, Soil water and Soil chemistry is frequently linked to work in Relative species abundance, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

His Biodiversity research incorporates elements of Taxon, DNA barcoding, Species richness and Arthropod. His study in Arabidopsis thaliana is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Virulence, Rust, Oomycete, Microbiology and Effector. His Abiotic component study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Soil contamination and Mineralization.
