Overview

Dolf Weijers is affiliated with Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands. Their research primarily spans the fields of Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as well as Agricultural and Biological Sciences. Within these broad areas, Weijers has focused extensively on Molecular Biology and Plant Science, with additional research contributions to Cell Biology, Oceanography, and Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics.

Weijers' scholarly work addresses several key topics in the plant sciences, including Plant Molecular Biology Research, Plant Reproductive Biology, Photosynthetic Processes and Mechanisms, Polysaccharides and Plant Cell Walls, Plant Parasitism and Resistance, Plant nutrient uptake and metabolism, and Plant tissue culture and regeneration.

The following are some of their recent notable publications:

  • RIdeogram: drawing SVG graphics to visualize and map genome-wide data on the idiograms (2020, PeerJ Computer Science)
  • Anthoceros genomes illuminate the origin of land plants and the unique biology of hornworts (2020, Nature Plants)
  • Evolution of Plant Hormone Response Pathways (2020, Annual Review of Plant Biology)
  • Cell surface and intracellular auxin signalling for H+ fluxes in root growth (2021, Nature)
  • Plant transcription factors - being in the right place with the right company (2021, Current Opinion in Plant Biology)

Weijers frequently collaborates with several co-authors, including Jorge Hernández-García, Sumanth Mutte, Mark Roosjen, W. van den Berg, and Joris Sprakel, each having coauthored multiple publications with Weijers.

Their research has appeared prominently in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Nature Plants, Current Biology, The Plant Cell, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reflecting a strong presence in both preprint and peer-reviewed journals widely recognized in plant and molecular biology.

Weijers holds membership in the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO), an acknowledgment within the scientific community.
