Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Protoplast, Callus, Cytoplasmic male sterility and Orange. Her Molecular biology research extends to Botany, which is thematically connected. Her Protoplast research includes elements of In vitro, Colony formation, Agar and Mitochondrial DNA.

The Callus study which covers Regeneration that intersects with Cell culture, Citrus × sinensis, Embryo and Cell division. Her Cytoplasmic male sterility study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Chloroplast, Nicotiana sylvestris and Nicotiana tabacum. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Plant biochemistry, Cultivar and Rutaceae.

Her most cited work include:

  • Enhanced oxidative-stress defense in transgenic potato expressing tomato Cu,Zn superoxide dismutases. (213 citations)
  • Inhibition of fungal growth by wheat germ agglutinin (206 citations)
  • Interspecific Transfer of Cytoplasmic Male Sterility by Fusion between Protoplasts of Normal Nicotiana sylvestris and X-Ray Irradiated Protoplasts of Male-Sterile N. tabacum (196 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Botany, Protoplast, Biochemistry, Molecular biology and Chloroplast DNA. Her research in Botany focuses on subjects like Horticulture, which are connected to Embryo. Her studies deal with areas such as Cytoplasmic male sterility, Mitochondrial DNA, Nicotiana, Nicotiana sylvestris and Chloroplast as well as Protoplast.

Her biological study deals with issues like Trichoderma viride, which deal with fields such as Morphogenesis, Hypha, Microbiology, Fungus and Spore. Her study looks at the intersection of Molecular biology and topics like Ribosomal RNA with Escherichia coli and Nucleic acid. Her research in Chloroplast DNA intersects with topics in Solanum, Cultivar and Nuclear gene.

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 1986-2016)?

  • Botany (52.00%)
  • Protoplast (32.00%)
  • Chloroplast DNA (15.00%)

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

Her main research concerns Botany, Protoplast, Chloroplast DNA, Genetics and Molecular biology. Her Botany study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as DNA and Tissue culture. Her Protoplast research integrates issues from Cytoplasmic male sterility, Mitochondrial DNA, Nicotiana, Solanaceae and Organelle.

As a part of the same scientific family, Esra Galun mostly works in the field of Chloroplast DNA, focusing on Solanum and, on occasion, Nuclear gene and Solanum tuberosum. Her research investigates the connection between Molecular biology and topics such as Nucleic acid sequence that intersect with issues in Open reading frame, Peptide sequence, cDNA library, Amino acid and Wild type. Her work deals with themes such as Glucanase and Microbiology, which intersect with Callus.

Between 1986 and 2016, her most popular works were:

  • Enhanced oxidative-stress defense in transgenic potato expressing tomato Cu,Zn superoxide dismutases. (213 citations)
  • Removal of metal ions from aqueous solutions by Penicillium biomass: kinetic and uptake parameters (147 citations)
  • Improvement of plant regeneration and GUS expression in scutellar wheat calli by optimization of culture conditions and DNA-microprojectile delivery procedures (109 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Molecular biology, Botany, Solanaceae, Nucleic acid sequence and Chloroplast DNA. Her work carried out in the field of Molecular biology brings together such families of science as Superoxide dismutase and Wild type, Southern blot, Gene, Mutant. Her work deals with themes such as Orange and Mitochondrial DNA, which intersect with Botany.

The concepts of her Nucleic acid sequence study are interwoven with issues in Complementary DNA, cDNA library, Peptide sequence, Open reading frame and Nicotiana. Her research in Chloroplast DNA intersects with topics in Ribosomal RNA, Genetic transfer and Rough lemon. Her Callus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Reporter gene, DNA, Regeneration and Tissue culture.
