Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Gene

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Glucosinolate, Herbivore, Brassicaceae and Ecology. Her study in Turnip sawfly, Sawfly, Pieris rapae, Hymenoptera and Brassica falls within the category of Botany. Caroline Müller combines subjects such as Sinapis, Transcription factor and Arabidopsis thaliana with her study of Glucosinolate.

Her work carried out in the field of Arabidopsis thaliana brings together such families of science as Biotic stress and MYB. Her Herbivore research integrates issues from Terpene, Generalist and specialist species, Food chain and Invasive species. Her Brassicaceae research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Organism, Food web, Flavonols and Decomposer.

Her most cited work include:

  • Choosing and using diversity indices: Insights for ecological applications from the German Biodiversity Exploratories (395 citations)
  • Biology of the plant cuticle (335 citations)
  • The R2R3‐MYB transcription factor HAG1/MYB28 is a regulator of methionine‐derived glucosinolate biosynthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana (300 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Botany, Herbivore, Ecology, Brassicaceae and Glucosinolate. Her study in the field of Sinapis, Sawfly and Tenthredinidae also crosses realms of Chemotype. She has included themes like Aphid, Shoot, Insect, Generalist and specialist species and Abiotic component in her Herbivore study.

Her Ecology research focuses on subjects like Zoology, which are linked to Larva and Leaf beetle. Within one scientific family, Caroline Müller focuses on topics pertaining to Phaedon cochleariae under Brassicaceae, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Host plants. Her Glucosinolate study frequently links to other fields, such as Biochemistry.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (47.93%)
  • Herbivore (24.42%)
  • Ecology (23.96%)

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

  • Botany (47.93%)
  • Horticulture (8.29%)
  • Herbivore (24.42%)

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

Caroline Müller spends much of her time researching Botany, Horticulture, Herbivore, Brassicaceae and Zoology. In her papers, Caroline Müller integrates diverse fields, such as Botany and Chemotype. Her Herbivore research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Climate change, Predation, Pieris, Effects of global warming and Insect.

Her Brassicaceae research incorporates elements of Myrosinase, Glucosinolate and Biological dispersal. Caroline Müller has researched Glucosinolate in several fields, including Dormancy and Lepidium. Her studies in Zoology integrate themes in fields like Inbreeding, Generalist and specialist species, Larva and Invasive species.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Aphid infestation leads to plant part‐specific changes in phloem sap chemistry, which may indicate niche construction (18 citations)
  • Independent evolution of ancestral and novel defenses in a genus of toxic plants (Erysimum, Brassicaceae). (14 citations)
  • Transcriptional Reprogramming of Arabidopsis thaliana Defence Pathways by the Entomopathogen Beauveria bassiana Correlates With Resistance Against a Fungal Pathogen but Not Against Insects. (11 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Gene

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Zoology, Herbivore, Niche and Photosynthesis. Botany is represented through her Inflorescence, Brassicaceae, Myrosinase, Beauveria bassiana and Beauveria research. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Watercress, Pisum, Glucosinolate and Metabolic pathway.

Her Myrosinase study incorporates themes from PEST analysis, Insect and Chemical defense. Her Zoology study combines topics in areas such as Genetic differentiation, Generalist and specialist species and Invasive species. Her research integrates issues of Predation, Predator, Integrated pest management and Larva in her study of Herbivore.
