Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

Celestina Mariani spends much of her time researching Botany, Genetics, Pollination, Pollen and Gene expression. She interconnects Auxin and Biosynthesis in the investigation of issues within Botany. In her study, Reporter gene and Nicotiana is strongly linked to Stamen, which falls under the umbrella field of Genetics.

In her study, Nicotiana tabacum is inextricably linked to Gynoecium, which falls within the broad field of Pollination. Her research on Pollen frequently links to adjacent areas such as Cell biology. Her Gene expression study improves the overall literature in Gene.

Her most cited work include:

  • Induction of male sterility in plants by a chimaeric ribonuclease gene (783 citations)
  • Plants with modified stamen cells (435 citations)
  • A chimaeric ribonuclease-inhibitor gene restores fertility to male sterile plants (351 citations)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Cell biology, Genetics, Pollen and Stamen. Her study connects Nicotiana tabacum and Botany. The Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Arabidopsis thaliana, Microspore, Gamete and Ovary.

Celestina Mariani combines subjects such as Cultivar and Plant physiology with her study of Pollen. Her work carried out in the field of Stamen brings together such families of science as Promoter and Sexual reproduction. Her Sterility research integrates issues from DNA and Ribonuclease.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (58.49%)
  • Cell biology (28.30%)
  • Genetics (22.64%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2010-2018)?

  • Botany (58.49%)
  • Solanum (17.92%)
  • Pollen (22.64%)

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

Celestina Mariani mainly focuses on Botany, Solanum, Pollen, Solanum dulcamara and Auxin. Her Botany study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Nucleic acid, Gene expression, Mutant and Horticulture. Her research in Solanum intersects with topics in Transgene, Auxin response factor, Ovule, Solanaceae and Inflorescence.

Her work in Stamen and Plant reproduction is related to Pollen. Her Auxin research incorporates themes from Genetically modified tomato, Abscisic acid and Cell biology. Her Cell biology study incorporates themes from Transformation, Biochemistry, Tapetum, Galactan and Ovary.

Between 2010 and 2018, her most popular works were:

  • How plants handle multiple stresses: hormonal interactions underlying responses to abiotic stress and insect herbivory (132 citations)
  • The Solanum lycopersicum AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR 7 (SlARF7) mediates cross-talk between auxin and gibberellin signalling during tomato fruit set and development (84 citations)
  • Ensuring Reproduction at High Temperatures: The Heat Stress Response during Anther and Pollen Development (82 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • DNA

Celestina Mariani focuses on Gene expression, Botany, Solanum, Auxin and Arabidopsis thaliana. Her Gene expression study contributes to a more complete understanding of Gene. Her research related to Pollen and Sexual reproduction might be considered part of Botany.

Her Solanum research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Genetically modified tomato, Gibberellin, RNA interference, Solanaceae and Parthenocarpy. The concepts of her Auxin study are interwoven with issues in Ovule, Cell division, Transformation and Meristem. She studied Abscisic acid and Plant disease resistance that intersect with Cell biology.
