Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Her primary areas of investigation include Cellulose, Biochemistry, Cell wall, Biophysics and Gossypium. Her Cellulose study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ribbon, Crystallization and Glucan. Her work in Biochemistry addresses issues such as Cell biology, which are connected to fields such as Secondary thickening.

Her Cell wall research incorporates elements of Fiber, Sucrose, Cellobiose and Polysaccharide. Her studies deal with areas such as Pectin, Botany, Acetobacter, Fiber cell and Elongation as well as Biophysics. Her Gossypium research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Genome, Sequence analysis and Gossypium spp.

Her most cited work include:

  • Repeated polyploidization of Gossypium genomes and the evolution of spinnable cotton fibres (762 citations)
  • A membrane-associated form of sucrose synthase and its potential role in synthesis of cellulose and callose in plants (545 citations)
  • Carbon partitioning to cellulose synthesis (270 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Cellulose, Biochemistry, Cell wall, Biophysics and Botany. As part of one scientific family, Candace H. Haigler deals mainly with the area of Cellulose, narrowing it down to issues related to the Glucan, and often Calcofluor-white. Her study focuses on the intersection of Biochemistry and fields such as Zinnia elegans with connections in the field of Tracheary element differentiation and Zinnia.

Her work investigates the relationship between Cell wall and topics such as Membrane that intersect with problems in Fibril. Her Biophysics research integrates issues from Fiber, Plant cell, Acetobacter and Function. Candace H. Haigler combines subjects such as Arabidopsis and Gene, Cellular differentiation with her study of Botany.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Cellulose (54.31%)
  • Biochemistry (43.10%)
  • Cell wall (38.79%)

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

  • Cellulose (54.31%)
  • Cell wall (38.79%)
  • Biophysics (31.03%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Cellulose, Cell wall, Biophysics, Botany and Gene. Her Cellulose study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Biosynthesis. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Function, Membrane topology, Transmembrane domain, Physcomitrella patens and Plant cell.

Her Biophysics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Fiber, Synthetic fiber and Apex. Her research investigates the connection between Botany and topics such as Arabidopsis that intersect with issues in Gene isoform, Wild type, Cell biology, Complementation and Arabidopsis thaliana. Candace H. Haigler focuses mostly in the field of Gene, narrowing it down to matters related to Leaf formation and, in some cases, Tandem exon duplication, Exon, Gene duplication and Photoassimilate.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Comparative Structural and Computational Analysis Supports Eighteen Cellulose Synthases in the Plant Cellulose Synthesis Complex (86 citations)
  • A Structural Study of CESA1 Catalytic Domain of Arabidopsis Cellulose Synthesis Complex: Evidence for CESA Trimers (69 citations)
  • Modifications to a LATE MERISTEM IDENTITY1 gene are responsible for the major leaf shapes of Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). (44 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Her main research concerns Botany, Leaf formation, Meristem, Gene and Allele. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cellulose, Cellulose microfibril and Microfibril in addition to Botany. Her Leaf formation research includes themes of Gene duplication, Photoassimilate, Locus and Exon.

Her studies link Tandem exon duplication with Meristem. Candace H. Haigler focuses mostly in the field of Arabidopsis, narrowing it down to topics relating to Protein structure prediction and, in certain cases, Biophysics. Her Biophysics research includes elements of Complementation, Negative stain, Oligomer and Wild type.
