Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Botany

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biochemistry, Glutathione, Photosynthesis, Redox and Antioxidant. Biochemistry is frequently linked to Cell biology in her study. In her study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Cell biology, Arabidopsis is strongly linked to Arabidopsis thaliana.

Her Glutathione research focuses on Cysteine and how it relates to Sulfur metabolism. Her Photosynthesis research incorporates elements of Biophysics, Electron transport chain and Chloroplast. Her study on Redox also encompasses disciplines like

  • Apoplast which is related to area like Metabolic pathway,
  • Thioredoxin that connect with fields like Plastoquinone.

Her most cited work include:

  • ASCORBATE AND GLUTATHIONE: Keeping Active Oxygen Under Control (4455 citations)
  • The presence of glutathione and glutathione reductase in chloroplasts: A proposed role in ascorbic acid metabolism. (1935 citations)
  • Redox homeostasis and antioxidant signaling: a metabolic interface between stress perception and physiological responses. (1929 citations)

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

Christine H. Foyer mostly deals with Biochemistry, Photosynthesis, Botany, Cell biology and Glutathione. Her research on Biochemistry often connects related topics like Redox. Her study explores the link between Photosynthesis and topics such as Electron transport chain that cross with problems in Biophysics.

Her Botany research includes themes of Sucrose and Solanaceae. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Oxidative stress, Arabidopsis and Arabidopsis thaliana. The various areas that Christine H. Foyer examines in her Glutathione study include Peroxidase and Cell cycle.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (42.47%)
  • Photosynthesis (27.41%)
  • Botany (25.21%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Cell biology (17.60%)
  • Reactive oxygen species (8.46%)
  • Mutant (7.78%)

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

Her main research concerns Cell biology, Reactive oxygen species, Mutant, Biochemistry and Photosynthesis. The study incorporates disciplines such as Arabidopsis thaliana, Arabidopsis, Transcription factor, Shoot and Redox in addition to Cell biology. Her Arabidopsis thaliana study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Glutathione and Botany.

Her research integrates issues of Cell signaling, Signal transduction, Homeostasis, Brassinosteroid and Photoinhibition in her study of Reactive oxygen species. Her work on Signalling expands to the thematically related Biochemistry. Her studies deal with areas such as Rainforest, Amazonian, Amazon rainforest and Horticulture as well as Photosynthesis.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • ROS-related redox regulation and signaling in plants. (281 citations)
  • Neglecting legumes has compromised human health and sustainable food production (265 citations)
  • Neglecting legumes has compromised human health and sustainable food production (265 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Botany

Christine H. Foyer mainly focuses on Cell biology, Reactive oxygen species, Biochemistry, Botany and Arabidopsis. The concepts of her Cell biology study are interwoven with issues in Arabidopsis thaliana, Cell cycle and Meristem. The Reactive oxygen species study combines topics in areas such as Photoinhibition, Redox and Cell signaling.

Biochemistry is closely attributed to Signalling in her work. Her work carried out in the field of Signalling brings together such families of science as Oxidative stress, Metabolism, Adaptability and Biochemical engineering. Her Botany study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biotic stress, Metabolome and Sustainable agriculture.
