Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis, RuBisCO, Agronomy, Photosynthetic capacity and Botany are her primary areas of study. Photosynthesis is a subfield of Biochemistry that Christine A. Raines explores. Her research integrates issues of Carbon dioxide, Photorespiration, Poaceae and Pyruvate carboxylase in her study of RuBisCO.

As part of the same scientific family, Christine A. Raines usually focuses on Agronomy, concentrating on Biomass and intersecting with Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere. The study incorporates disciplines such as Nicotiana tabacum and Solanaceae in addition to Photosynthetic capacity. She studies Canopy which is a part of Botany.

Her most cited work include:

  • Raising yield potential of wheat. II. Increasing photosynthetic capacity and efficiency (371 citations)
  • Pan genome of the phytoplankton Emiliania underpins its global distribution (317 citations)
  • Increased Sedoheptulose-1,7-Bisphosphatase Activity in Transgenic Tobacco Plants Stimulates Photosynthesis and Growth from an Early Stage in Development (305 citations)

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

Christine A. Raines mostly deals with Photosynthesis, Biochemistry, Botany, RuBisCO and Chloroplast. Her Photosynthesis research incorporates themes from Biophysics and Agronomy. Her work focuses on many connections between Agronomy and other disciplines, such as Biomass, that overlap with her field of interest in Cytochrome and Productivity.

Her work deals with themes such as Emiliania huxleyi and Carbon dioxide, which intersect with Botany. Her research investigates the connection with RuBisCO and areas like Canopy which intersect with concerns in Germplasm. Christine A. Raines has included themes like Poaceae, Chlorophyll fluorescence and Solanaceae in her Photosynthetic capacity study.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Photosynthesis (46.72%)
  • Biochemistry (36.89%)
  • Botany (29.51%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Photosynthesis (46.72%)
  • Electron transport chain (7.38%)
  • Biophysics (9.84%)

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

Christine A. Raines focuses on Photosynthesis, Electron transport chain, Biophysics, Biochemistry and RuBisCO. Christine A. Raines works on Photosynthesis which deals in particular with Water-use efficiency. Her Electron transport chain research integrates issues from Biomass, Cytochrome and Cytochrome b6f complex.

Her studies in RuBisCO integrate themes in fields like Flux, Canopy, Crop productivity and C4 photosynthesis. Her Reporter gene study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Aldolase A and Botany. Her Photosynthetic acclimation research includes themes of Photosynthetic capacity and Carbon fixation.

Between 2015 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Feeding the world: improving photosynthetic efficiency for sustainable crop production (106 citations)
  • Increased SBPase activity improves photosynthesis and grain yield in wheat grown in greenhouse conditions (100 citations)
  • Importance of Fluctuations in Light on Plant Photosynthetic Acclimation. (97 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Photosynthesis

Christine A. Raines mainly focuses on Photosynthesis, Biochemistry, Arabidopsis thaliana, Greenhouse and Transgene. The Photosynthesis study combines topics in areas such as Biomass, Agronomy and Canopy. Her study explores the link between Biomass and topics such as Photosynthetic acclimation that cross with problems in Photosynthetic capacity.

Her Photosynthetic capacity study results in a more complete grasp of Botany. Christine A. Raines is interested in Arabidopsis, which is a branch of Biochemistry. Her Transgene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Photorespiration, Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, Enzyme and Cytochrome b6f complex.
