Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Oryza sativa, Root system, Horticulture and Seedling. His studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like Cell culture and Interception. In his research on the topic of Oryza sativa, Chloroplast and Oryza australiensis is strongly related with Photosynthesis.

His Root system research includes themes of Proteome, Shotgun, Shoot and Soil horizon. His work in Shoot covers topics such as Exudate which are related to areas like Agronomy. His work carried out in the field of Horticulture brings together such families of science as Coleoptile, Zea mays and Biosynthesis.

His most cited work include:

  • The fate of carbon in pulse-labelled crops of barley and wheat (162 citations)
  • Response of roots to mechanical impedance (130 citations)
  • Physiological and molecular changes in Oryza meridionalis Ng., a heat-tolerant species of wild rice (111 citations)

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

Brian J. Atwell mostly deals with Botany, Agronomy, Photosynthesis, Shoot and Horticulture. His research integrates issues of Oryza sativa and Carbon dioxide in his study of Botany. The study incorporates disciplines such as Soil water and Plant physiology in addition to Agronomy.

His work carried out in the field of Photosynthesis brings together such families of science as Eucalyptus and Fruit abscission. His work deals with themes such as Proteome, Nutrient, Plant nutrition, Sugar and Root system, which intersect with Shoot. The Horticulture study combines topics in areas such as Pollen and Apex.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (45.87%)
  • Agronomy (44.04%)
  • Photosynthesis (33.03%)

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

  • Photosynthesis (33.03%)
  • Agronomy (44.04%)
  • Drought tolerance (10.09%)

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

His primary areas of study are Photosynthesis, Agronomy, Drought tolerance, Horticulture and Botany. The various areas that he examines in his Photosynthesis study include Chloroplast, Oryza and Carbon dioxide. His studies deal with areas such as Fruit abscission and Stomatal conductance as well as Agronomy.

His Drought tolerance research incorporates elements of Tandem mass tag, Quantitative proteomics, Drought stress, Abiotic stress and Genotype. His Horticulture research integrates issues from Sugar, Oryza australiensis and Pollen. His Botany research incorporates themes from Erythritol, Proteome and Oryza sativa.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Community recommendations on terminology and procedures used in flooding and low oxygen stress research (61 citations)
  • Heat tolerance in a wild Oryza species is attributed to maintenance of Rubisco activation by a thermally stable Rubisco activase ortholog. (42 citations)
  • Drought × CO2 interactions in trees: a test of the low-intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci) mechanism (29 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

Photosynthesis, Oryza, Shoot, Agronomy and Oryza sativa are his primary areas of study. Photosynthesis is a subfield of Botany that he studies. His studies examine the connections between Oryza and genetics, as well as such issues in Cultivar, with regards to Chlorophyll, Plant physiology, Germplasm, Salinity and Soil salinity.

His Shoot research includes themes of Waterlogging, Specific leaf area, Crop and Lint. His work in Agronomy is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Fruit abscission. His Oryza sativa study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as RuBisCO and Horticulture.
