Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Biochemistry
  • Enzyme

Carol A. Peterson mainly focuses on Botany, Suberin, Endodermis, Exodermis and Apoplast. His study in the fields of Epidermis, Palisade and Palisade cell under the domain of Botany overlaps with other disciplines such as Water uptake and Fluorescent tracer. In general Suberin study, his work on Casparian strip often relates to the realm of Water flow, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

As a part of the same scientific study, Carol A. Peterson usually deals with the Casparian strip, concentrating on Root tip and frequently concerns with Lignin. His research investigates the connection with Endodermis and areas like Stele which intersect with concerns in Vascular tissue, Shoot, Symplast and Plasmodesma. His Apoplast research includes themes of Biophysics and Vicia faba.

His most cited work include:

  • How does water get through roots (749 citations)
  • Root Endodermis and Exodermis: Structure, Function, and Responses to the Environment (415 citations)
  • Efficient lipid staining in plant material with sudan red 7B or fluorol [correction of fluoral] yellow 088 in polyethylene glycol-glycerol. (411 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Suberin, Endodermis, Apoplast and Exodermis. His Botany study focuses mostly on Casparian strip, Xylem, Phloem, Epidermis and Stele. His research in Suberin intersects with topics in Lamella, Anatomy and Root pressure.

His Endodermis study combines topics in areas such as Helianthus annuus, Aerenchyma and Meristem. His research investigates the link between Apoplast and topics such as Biophysics that cross with problems in Plasmodesma. The concepts of his Exodermis study are interwoven with issues in Symplast, Hydroponics, Vermiculite, Allium and Membrane.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (87.72%)
  • Suberin (40.35%)
  • Endodermis (36.84%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2004-2015)?

  • Botany (87.72%)
  • Suberin (40.35%)
  • Exodermis (35.96%)

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

His main research concerns Botany, Suberin, Exodermis, Endodermis and Cuticle. His Agronomy research extends to Botany, which is thematically connected. The Suberin study combines topics in areas such as Ethanol, Biophysics and Root pressure.

His work deals with themes such as Hydroponics, Aerenchyma and Epidermis, which intersect with Exodermis. His research integrates issues of Plant species and Root rot in his study of Endodermis. His Casparian strip study in the realm of Apoplast interacts with subjects such as Pelargonium × hortorum.

Between 2004 and 2015, his most popular works were:

  • Soybean Root Suberin: Anatomical Distribution, Chemical Composition, and Relationship to Partial Resistance to Phytophthora sojae (105 citations)
  • Suberin lamella development in maize seedling roots grown in aerated and stagnant conditions (69 citations)
  • Cd accumulation in roots and shoots of durum wheat: the roles of transpiration rate and apoplastic bypass (66 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Biochemistry
  • Enzyme

Carol A. Peterson spends much of his time researching Botany, Suberin, Endodermis, Exodermis and Root rot. His work on Botany deals in particular with Cultivar, Apoplast, Aerenchyma, Stele and Hypha. His Cultivar research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cutin, Cutina and Fatty acid.

Carol A. Peterson has included themes like Shoot, Meristem, Xylem and Transpiration in his Apoplast study. His work on Aerenchyma formation as part of general Aerenchyma research is frequently linked to Lateral root, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Root rot study typically links adjacent topics like Epidermis.
