Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Photosynthesis

His primary scientific interests are in Biochemistry, Botany, Photosynthesis, Chlorophyll and Food science. His study in Plant physiology extends to Biochemistry with its themes. He works mostly in the field of Botany, limiting it down to topics relating to Abiotic component and, in certain cases, Biofuel and Polyunsaturated fatty acid, as a part of the same area of interest.

His Photosynthesis research includes themes of Agriculture and Shoot. He combines subjects such as Carotene, Chromatography, Food products and Betalain with his study of Chlorophyll. His work on Carotenoid is typically connected to Fish oil as part of general Food science study, connecting several disciplines of science.

His most cited work include:

  • Secondary ketocarotenoid astaxanthin biosynthesis in algae: a multifunctional response to stress. (212 citations)
  • Photosynthesis under artificial light: the shift in primary and secondary metabolism (161 citations)
  • Chlorophyll and carotenoid analysis in food products. Properties of the pigments and methods of analysis (140 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Botany, Photosynthesis, Biochemistry, Chlorophyll and Chloroplast. In his study, Gene is inextricably linked to Cell biology, which falls within the broad field of Botany. Benoît Schoefs regularly links together related areas like Chlorophyll a in his Photosynthesis studies.

His Biochemistry study incorporates themes from Plant physiology and Algae. His Chlorophyll research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Greening, Protochlorophyllide and Carotenoid. His Chloroplast study also includes

  • Biophysics, which have a strong connection to Membrane,
  • Nicotiana tabacum, Calcium signaling, Mitochondrion and Aequorin most often made with reference to Organelle.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (31.40%)
  • Photosynthesis (31.40%)
  • Biochemistry (32.23%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Diatom (11.57%)
  • Biochemistry (32.23%)
  • Photosynthesis (31.40%)

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

Diatom, Biochemistry, Photosynthesis, Algae and Biophysics are his primary areas of study. His studies in Diatom integrate themes in fields like Biofuel and Nanotechnology. His work on Phaeodactylum tricornutum expands to the thematically related Biochemistry.

His research on Photosynthesis concerns the broader Botany. His Botany study combines topics in areas such as Jasmonic acid and Abscisic acid. His biological study deals with issues like Membrane, which deal with fields such as Protein filament.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Modulation of lipid biosynthesis by stress in diatoms. (53 citations)
  • Transcription factors in microalgae: genome-wide prediction and comparative analysis. (43 citations)
  • Response of CO2-starved diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum to light intensity transition. (33 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Photosynthesis

Benoît Schoefs mainly investigates Phaeodactylum tricornutum, Biochemistry, Botany, Photosynthesis and Algae. His work deals with themes such as Genetics, Porphyridium and Haptophyte, which intersect with Phaeodactylum tricornutum. His work in Kinase, Sterol, Fatty acid synthesis, Cholesterol and Signal transduction are all subfields of Biochemistry research.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Jasmonic acid and Abscisic acid. His Photosynthesis research includes themes of Ecology, Climate change and Biogeochemical cycle. Benoît Schoefs works mostly in the field of Algae, limiting it down to topics relating to Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and, in certain cases, Red algae, Thylakoid, Green algae, Chloroplast and Chloroplast stroma.
