Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Enzyme

Cell wall, Biochemistry, Botany, Desiccation and Polysaccharide are his primary areas of study. His Cell wall research includes themes of Pectin, Mutant and Cell biology. His Cell biology research integrates issues from Plant cell and Border cells.

His study in Biochemistry focuses on Golgi apparatus, Glycoprotein, Arabinogalactan, Glycosylation and Glycosyltransferase. His work on Pollen as part of his general Botany study is frequently connected to Crop species, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His research in the fields of Galactan overlaps with other disciplines such as Epitope.

His most cited work include:

  • Plant N-Glycan Processing Enzymes Employ Different Targeting Mechanisms for Their Spatial Arrangement along the Secretory Pathway (179 citations)
  • Building flax fibres: more than one brick in the walls (178 citations)
  • Adaptations of higher plant cell walls to water loss: drought vs desiccation. (159 citations)

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

Azeddine Driouich focuses on Cell wall, Biochemistry, Cell biology, Botany and Xyloglucan. His work deals with themes such as Pectin and Polysaccharide, which intersect with Cell wall. His Biochemistry study which covers Immunogold labelling that intersects with Cell junction.

His Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Arabidopsis, Defence mechanisms, Border cells, Plant cell and Extensin. In his work, Plant defense against herbivory is strongly intertwined with Arabidopsis thaliana, which is a subfield of Botany. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Xylan under Xyloglucan, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Hemicellulose.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cell wall (51.75%)
  • Biochemistry (41.26%)
  • Cell biology (29.37%)

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

  • Cell biology (29.37%)
  • Cell wall (51.75%)
  • Biochemistry (41.26%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Cell biology, Cell wall, Biochemistry, Arabinogalactan and Xyloglucan. His studies deal with areas such as Plant Immunity, Pollen, Sexual reproduction, Germination and Defence mechanisms as well as Cell biology. Extensin is the focus of his Cell wall research.

His Biochemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Nematode and Bioassay. As a member of one scientific family, Azeddine Driouich mostly works in the field of Arabinogalactan, focusing on Mucilage and, on occasion, Arabinogalactan protein. His research in Xyloglucan intersects with topics in Desiccation, Desiccation tolerance and Xylan.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Plant Immunity Is Compartmentalized and Specialized in Roots. (21 citations)
  • Cell wall extensins in root-microbe interactions and root secretions. (17 citations)
  • Perspectives on Structural, Physiological, Cellular, and Molecular Responses to Desiccation in Resurrection Plants. (11 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

His primary areas of study are Cell biology, Cell wall, Xyloglucan, Immune system and Defence mechanisms. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Cell wall, concentrating on Glycoprotein and intersecting with Arabidopsis thaliana. His Xyloglucan research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Immunogold labelling, Arabinogalactan, Arabinogalactan protein, Xylan and Plant cell.

His Arabinogalactan study incorporates themes from Desiccation, Desiccation tolerance, Membrane fluidity and Transcriptome. Azeddine Driouich combines subjects such as Plant defense against herbivory, Elicitor and Systemic acquired resistance with his study of Defence mechanisms. His research investigates the connection between Immunity and topics such as Border cells that intersect with problems in Mucilage, Cellulose, Biophysics and Polysaccharide.
