Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Ecology

His primary areas of study are Botany, Petal, Pollinator, Pollination and Epidermis. His research integrates issues of Evolutionary biology, Molecular phylogenetics, Betalain and Cell biology in his study of Botany. His work carried out in the field of Petal brings together such families of science as Antirrhinum majus, Biological system and Optics.

His studies in Pollinator integrate themes in fields like Arabidopsis thaliana and Foraging. His Pollination research integrates issues from Gibberellin, Horticulture, Meristem and Vernalization. The various areas that Beverley J. Glover examines in his Epidermis study include Proto-Oncogene Proteins c-myb and Cell type.

His most cited work include:

  • MYB–bHLH–WD40 protein complex and the evolution of cellular diversity (614 citations)
  • Flower colour intensity depends on specialized cell shape controlled by a Myb-related transcription factor. (332 citations)
  • Pointillist structural color in Pollia fruit (277 citations)

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

Beverley J. Glover spends much of his time researching Botany, Pollinator, Petal, Iridescence and Pollination. Beverley J. Glover works mostly in the field of Botany, limiting it down to topics relating to Antirrhinum majus and, in certain cases, Ectopic expression. His work in the fields of Pollinator, such as Bombus terrestris and Bumblebee, intersects with other areas such as Attraction.

His Petal research includes themes of Conical surface and Antirrhinum. His work deals with themes such as Evolutionary biology, Agronomy and Nectar, which intersect with Pollination. Beverley J. Glover has included themes like Cellular differentiation, Arabidopsis, Mutant and Gene in his Cell biology study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (41.26%)
  • Pollinator (23.08%)
  • Petal (21.68%)

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

  • Gene (10.49%)
  • Structural coloration (6.29%)
  • Evolutionary biology (12.59%)

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

Beverley J. Glover mostly deals with Gene, Structural coloration, Evolutionary biology, Cell biology and Transcription factor. His Evolutionary biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Stigma, Pollen, Stamen and Genetic pathways. His studies deal with areas such as Evolutionary developmental biology, Cell growth, Stem cell niche and Meristem as well as Cell biology.

MYB is the focus of his Transcription factor research. His Evergreen study is associated with Botany. Beverley J. Glover merges Botany with Metal in his research.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Macroevolutionary dynamics of nectar spurs, a key evolutionary innovation (15 citations)
  • Viburnum tinus Fruits Use Lipids to Produce Metallic Blue Structural Color (6 citations)
  • The cellular and genetic basis of structural colour in plants (6 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Ecology

His main research concerns Evolutionary biology, Genetic pathways, Mechanism, Pollen and Sexual reproduction. His Evolutionary biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Antirrhineae, Key innovation and Nectar. Pollination and Stamen are the subjects of his Pollen studies.
