Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Photosynthesis
  • Ecology

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Photosynthesis, Algae, Biochemistry and Biophysics. His studies deal with areas such as Field experiment and Horticulture as well as Botany. His Photosynthesis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Putrescine, Thylakoid and Polyamine.

Astaxanthin is closely connected to Chlorophyll fluorescence in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Algae. Cornelius Lütz has researched Biophysics in several fields, including Ultrastructure and Apoptosis. The Chloromonas study combines topics in areas such as Psychrophile and Plastid.

His most cited work include:

  • Photodamage of the Photosynthetic Apparatus and Its Dependence on the Leaf Developmental Stage in the npq1 Arabidopsis Mutant Deficient in the Xanthophyll Cycle Enzyme Violaxanthin De-epoxidase (202 citations)
  • Algae and UV irradiation: effects on ultrastructure and related metabolic functions. (186 citations)
  • Salt stress-induced cell death in the unicellular green alga Micrasterias denticulata. (182 citations)

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

Cornelius Lütz mainly focuses on Botany, Photosynthesis, Algae, Biochemistry and Chlorophyll. His Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Psychrophile, Biophysics and Thylakoid. Cornelius Lütz has included themes like Plastid and Cadmium in his Photosynthesis study.

As part of the same scientific family, Cornelius Lütz usually focuses on Algae, concentrating on Astaxanthin and intersecting with Chlorophyceae and Plastid organization. In general Biochemistry study, his work on Xanthophyll, Programmed cell death and Isoelectric focusing often relates to the realm of Ascorbic acid, thereby connecting several areas of interest. When carried out as part of a general Chlorophyll research project, his work on Chlorophyll breakdown is frequently linked to work in Cover, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (67.19%)
  • Photosynthesis (35.94%)
  • Algae (20.31%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2019)?

  • Botany (67.19%)
  • Photosynthesis (35.94%)
  • Chlorophyll (18.75%)

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

Cornelius Lütz mainly investigates Botany, Photosynthesis, Chlorophyll, Algae and Ecology. His research in Botany intersects with topics in Psychrophile and Biophysics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Zinc, Plastid, Carotenoid, Cadmium and Micrasterias in addition to Photosynthesis.

His studies in Chlorophyll integrate themes in fields like Luminescence, Photoinhibition and Photosynthetically active radiation. His work in Algae covers topics such as Astaxanthin which are related to areas like Chlorophyll fluorescence, Chlorophyceae and Plastid organization. His work on Kelp is typically connected to Alaria esculenta, Polar, Structure and function and Snow cover as part of general Ecology study, connecting several disciplines of science.

Between 2009 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Physiological and morphological processes in the Alpine snow alga Chloromonas nivalis (Chlorophyceae) during cyst formation. (85 citations)
  • ECOPHYSIOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE OF THE AEROTERRESTRIAL GREEN ALGA KLEBSORMIDIUM CRENULATUM (CHAROPHYCEAE, STREPTOPHYTA) ISOLATED FROM AN ALPINE SOIL CRUST WITH AN EMPHASIS ON DESICCATION STRESS1 (80 citations)
  • Rescue of heavy metal effects on cell physiology of the algal model system Micrasterias by divalent ions. (74 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Photosynthesis
  • Ecology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Psychrophile, Ultrastructure, Algae and Streptophyta. He is involved in the study of Botany that focuses on Photosynthesis in particular. His work carried out in the field of Photosynthesis brings together such families of science as Biophysics, Micrasterias, Calcium and Cadmium.

His Ultrastructure research includes elements of Zygnematales, Cryoconite, Arctic and Photosystem II. His Chloromonas and Chlorophyta study in the realm of Algae connects with subjects such as Autotroph. His Streptophyta research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Desiccation and Klebsormidium.
