• Gene

Christina Walters focuses on Botany, Desiccation, Horticulture, Longevity and Germination. Her biological study focuses on Recalcitrant seed. Within one scientific family, Christina Walters focuses on topics pertaining to Desiccation tolerance under Recalcitrant seed, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Respiration and Phaseolus.

Her Horticulture study combines topics in areas such as Brassicaceae and Genetic diversity. She integrates many fields, such as Longevity, Ecology and Liquid nitrogen, in her works. Her Germination research incorporates themes from Arrhenius plot, Cultivar and Shelf life.

Her most cited work include:

• Longevity of seeds stored in a genebank: species characteristics (290 citations)
• Understanding the mechanisms and kinetics of seed aging (281 citations)
• Longevity of cryogenically stored seeds (164 citations)

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

Botany, Horticulture, Desiccation, Germination and Longevity are her primary areas of study. Her Botany research includes themes of Cryopreservation and Relative humidity. Particularly relevant to Desiccation tolerance is her body of work in Desiccation.

Her work deals with themes such as RNA and Hydrothermal circulation, which intersect with Germination. Christina Walters has included themes like Biophysics and Aesculus hippocastanum in her Recalcitrant seed study. Her Germplasm research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Differential scanning calorimetry, Cultivar and Genetic diversity, Ex situ conservation.

She most often published in these fields:

• Botany (48.04%)
• Horticulture (26.47%)
• Desiccation (21.57%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

• Horticulture (26.47%)
• Botany (48.04%)
• Longevity (15.69%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Horticulture, Botany, Longevity, Germination and Moisture. Her Horticulture study typically links adjacent topics like RNA. Her study on Botany is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Embryo.

Her Germination research integrates issues from Seeding, Orchard and Seedling. Her work investigates the relationship between Germplasm and topics such as Biotechnology that intersect with problems in Ex situ conservation. Her Dry matter and Desiccation tolerance study, which is part of a larger body of work in Agronomy, is frequently linked to Dalea carthagenensis, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

• Exploring the fate of mRNA in aging seeds: protection, destruction, or slow decay? (21 citations)
• The kinetics of ageing in dry-stored seeds: a comparison of viability loss and RNA degradation in unique legacy seed collections (15 citations)
• Solid-State Biology and Seed Longevity: A Mechanical Analysis of Glasses in Pea and Soybean Embryonic Axes. (13 citations)

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

• Botany
• Gene
• Ecology

Christina Walters mainly investigates Longevity, Total rna, Moisture, Ageing and Germplasm. Longevity overlaps with fields such as Fragility, Dynamic mechanical analysis, Amorphous solid, Pisum and Sativum in her research. Her Total rna research includes elements of Rna degradation and Germination, Horticulture.

In her papers, Christina Walters integrates diverse fields, such as Moisture, Liquid nitrogen, Differential scanning calorimetry, Spore, Degradation and Atmospheric temperature range. Her Ageing study spans across into fields like RNA integrity number, Chloroplast, Desiccation, Botany and Chlorophyll. Christina Walters has researched Germplasm in several fields, including Habitat destruction, Biodiversity, Agroforestry and Genetic diversity.
