Overview

Eberhard Schäfer is affiliated with the University of Freiburg in Germany, contributing to research primarily within the field of Agricultural and Biological Sciences. Their work focuses on subfields related to Plant Science, with particular attention to Plant Molecular Biology Research, Light effects on plants, and Plant nutrient uptake and metabolism.

Recent publications authored or co-authored by Schäfer include:

  • "bZIP10-LSD1 antagonism modulates basal defense and cell death in Arabidopsis following infection" (2020, UNC Libraries)
  • "Phytochromes transmit photoperiod information via the evening complex in Brachypodium" (2023, Genome biology)
  • "Werdende Väter unter sich" (2022, Hebammen Wissen)

Frequent coauthors collaborating with Schäfer include:

  • Mingjun Gao
  • Yunlong Lu
  • Feng Geng
  • Cornelia Klose
  • Anne-Marie Staudt

Their research has appeared in several publication venues, notably:

  • Genome biology
  • UNC Libraries
  • Hebammen Wissen

The topics addressed in Schäfer's research reflect interests in molecular mechanisms of plant defense and development, interactions of plants with light stimuli, and aspects of nutrient metabolism. This is supported by their engagement with studies on photoperiod signaling pathways and plant immune responses as reflected in their published work.
