Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

Botany
Gene
Genetics

Her primary areas of study are Pollen tube, Botany, Biochemistry, Gynoecium and Pollen. Elizabeth M. Lord works mostly in the field of Pollen tube, limiting it down to topics relating to Biophysics and, in certain cases, Exocytosis and Tip growth, as a part of the same area of interest. Elizabeth M. Lord has included themes like Morphogenesis and Cell biology in her Botany study.

Her study in Cell biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Arabidopsis thaliana and Arabidopsis. Her study on Complementary DNA, In vitro and Pectin is often connected to Immunolabeling as part of broader study in Biochemistry. Her research in the fields of Sepal overlaps with other disciplines such as Homeosis.

Her most cited work include:

The Mechanisms of Pollination and Fertilization in Plants (270 citations)
Cleistogamy: A tool for the study of floral morphogenesis, function and evolution (254 citations)
Floral development in Arabidopsis thaliana: a comparison of the wild type and the homeotic pistillata mutant (195 citations)

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

Elizabeth M. Lord mainly focuses on Botany, Pollen tube, Stamen, Gynoecium and Pollen. Her research brings together the fields of Cell biology and Botany. Her studies deal with areas such as Arabidopsis thaliana and Arabidopsis as well as Cell biology.

The Pollen tube study combines topics in areas such as Ovule, Sperm, Biochemistry and Arabinogalactan. Her work deals with themes such as Primordium, Meristem and Function, which intersect with Stamen. Her Pollen research includes elements of Stigma and Germination.

She most often published in these fields:

Botany (78.02%)
Pollen tube (42.86%)
Stamen (24.18%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 1999-2011)?

Pollen tube (42.86%)
Botany (78.02%)
Cell biology (17.58%)

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

Elizabeth M. Lord focuses on Pollen tube, Botany, Cell biology, Pollen and Pollen tube adhesion. Her research in Pollen tube intersects with topics in Plant lipid transfer proteins, Lilium, Ovule, Biochemistry and Cell adhesion. Gynoecium, Sperm, Pollination, Outcrossing and Stamen are the subjects of her Botany studies.

She focuses mostly in the field of Sperm, narrowing it down to topics relating to Embryo and, in certain cases, Flowering plant. Her research integrates issues of Arabidopsis thaliana and Arabidopsis in her study of Cell biology. Her biological study deals with issues like In vitro, which deal with fields such as Pectin and Immunogold labelling.

Between 1999 and 2011, her most popular works were:

The Mechanisms of Pollination and Fertilization in Plants (270 citations)
A Lipid Transfer–like Protein Is Necessary for Lily Pollen Tube Adhesion to an in Vitro Stylar Matrix (193 citations)
Chemocyanin, a small basic protein from the lily stigma, induces pollen tube chemotropism (191 citations)
