Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

His main research concerns Botany, Shoot, Helianthus annuus, Sunflower and Gibberellin. His Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Primordium, Ethephon, Horticulture, Endogeny and Auxin. His Shoot research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Carbon dioxide, Abscisic acid and Cotyledon.

His Abscisic acid study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Brassica, Canola and Plant physiology. In his work, Cytokinin is strongly intertwined with Hypocotyl, which is a subfield of Helianthus annuus. While the research belongs to areas of Gibberellin, David M. Reid spends his time largely on the problem of Root system, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Aleurone.

His most cited work include:

  • Plant hormones and plant growth regulators in plant tissue culture (320 citations)
  • Leaf senescence and lipid peroxidation: Effects of some phytohormones, and scavengers of free radicals and singlet oxygen (147 citations)
  • Growth and physiological responses of canola (Brassica napus) to three components of global climate change: temperature, carbon dioxide and drought (138 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Botany, Shoot, Helianthus annuus, Gibberellin and Sunflower. His study in Botany is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Auxin, Abscisic acid and Horticulture. His work is dedicated to discovering how Shoot, Dry matter are connected with Photosynthesis and other disciplines.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Ethephon, Cotyledon, Biochemistry, Metabolism and Hypocotyl in addition to Helianthus annuus. In his research, Sephadex is intimately related to Phaseolus coccineus, which falls under the overarching field of Gibberellin. The Sunflower study combines topics in areas such as Water stress, Plant stem, Aeroponics and Root system.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (61.49%)
  • Shoot (26.71%)
  • Helianthus annuus (24.22%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2016)?

  • Botany (61.49%)
  • Shoot (26.71%)
  • Plant physiology (12.42%)

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

David M. Reid mainly investigates Botany, Shoot, Plant physiology, Gibberellin and Abscisic acid. The various areas that he examines in his Botany study include Helianthus annuus and Horticulture. As a part of the same scientific family, David M. Reid mostly works in the field of Helianthus annuus, focusing on Hypocotyl and, on occasion, Cotyledon.

His Shoot study contributes to a more complete understanding of Agronomy. His study connects Auxin and Gibberellin. The concepts of his Abscisic acid study are interwoven with issues in Brassica and Canola.

Between 2005 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Growth and physiological responses of canola (Brassica napus) to three components of global climate change: temperature, carbon dioxide and drought (138 citations)
  • Uncoupling light quality from light irradiance effects in Helianthus annuus shoots: putative roles for plant hormones in leaf and internode growth (107 citations)
  • Differential sensitivity of canola (Brassica napus) seedlings to ultraviolet-B radiation, water stress and abscisic acid (63 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

David M. Reid spends much of his time researching Botany, Abscisic acid, Shoot, Gibberellin and Canola. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Botany, Hypocotyl is strongly linked to Helianthus annuus. His study looks at the relationship between Abscisic acid and topics such as Horticulture, which overlap with Plant physiology.

His Gibberellin research incorporates elements of Biochemistry, Pisum, Transgene, Photosynthetically active radiation and Cytokinin. His work carried out in the field of Canola brings together such families of science as Brassica and Dry matter. His work deals with themes such as Chlorophyll and Chlorophyll fluorescence, which intersect with Brassica.
