Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Biochemistry

His main research concerns Botany, Salinity, Nutrient, Agronomy and Malvaceae. His Spinach research extends to Botany, which is thematically connected. His Salinity study combines topics in areas such as Agriculture, Agricultural productivity and Plant breeding.

Emanuel Epstein studies Nutrient, focusing on Plant nutrition in particular. His work in the fields of Agronomy, such as Phaseolus and Irrigation, overlaps with other areas such as Mineral and Volume concentration. His work on Fiber crop as part of general Malvaceae research is frequently linked to Molar concentration, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His most cited work include:

  • Mineral Nutrition of Plants: Principles and Perspectives (2034 citations)
  • The anomaly of silicon in plant biology. (1161 citations)
  • Saline culture of crops: a genetic approach. (556 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Salinity, Agronomy, Absorption and Inorganic chemistry. His Botany study incorporates themes from Osmoregulation and Nuclear chemistry. His Salinity study which covers Animal science that intersects with Hordeum vulgare.

His work carried out in the field of Agronomy brings together such families of science as Arid, Seawater and Nutrient. His work in the fields of Nutrient, such as Plant nutrition, intersects with other areas such as Silicon. His Plant tissue research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ion transporter and Analytical chemistry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (39.77%)
  • Salinity (25.00%)
  • Agronomy (20.45%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1994-2008)?

  • Botany (39.77%)
  • Silicon (7.95%)
  • Agronomy (20.45%)

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

Botany, Silicon, Agronomy, Nutrient and Salinity are his primary areas of study. His study connects Plant nutrition and Botany. His Nutrient study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Terrestrial plant and Plant physiology.

He has researched Terrestrial plant in several fields, including Soil water, Hardiness and Microanalysis. His work carried out in the field of Salinity brings together such families of science as Biophysics, Poaceae and Efflux. His study looks at the intersection of Shoot and topics like Nuclear chemistry with Exudate, Membrane and Xylem.

Between 1994 and 2008, his most popular works were:

  • Differential Solute Regulation in Leaf Blades of Various Ages in Salt-Sensitive Wheat and a Salt-Tolerant Wheat x Lophopyrum elongatum (Host) A. Love Amphiploid. (142 citations)
  • Aqueous silicate complexes in wheat, Triticum aestivum L. (125 citations)
  • How Calcium Enhances Plant Salt Tolerance (118 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Biochemistry

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Salinity, Neuroscience, Biophysics and Salt resistance. His study on Botany is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Membrane. His research in Salinity intersects with topics in Osmotic pressure, Main stem, Poaceae and Betaine.
