What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

Eugene W. Nester mainly focuses on Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Plasmid, Genetics, Agrobacterium and Molecular biology. Ti plasmid is the focus of his Agrobacterium tumefaciens research. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Octopine and T-DNA Binary system.

Eugene W. Nester has researched Plasmid in several fields, including Restriction enzyme and Genome. His research in Molecular biology intersects with topics in Nucleic acid thermodynamics, Cosmid and Escherichia coli. His work carried out in the field of Virulence brings together such families of science as Transformation and Microbiology.

His most cited work include:

  • Stable incorporation of plasmid DNA into higher plant cells: the molecular basis of crown gall tumorigenesis (852 citations)
  • The Genome of the Natural Genetic Engineer Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 (710 citations)
  • Agrobacterium tumefaciens DNA and PS8 bacteriophage DNA not detected in crown gall tumors (554 citations)

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

Eugene W. Nester focuses on Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Genetics, Plasmid, Molecular biology and Agrobacterium. The various areas that Eugene W. Nester examines in his Agrobacterium tumefaciens study include Mutant and Virulence. His Plasmid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Restriction enzyme, Transformation and Transposable element.

His Molecular biology research focuses on Gall and how it relates to Auxin and Callus. His work in Agrobacterium addresses issues such as Microbiology, which are connected to fields such as Bacteria and Rhizobium. His Ti plasmid research includes themes of Complementation, Gene product and T-DNA Binary system.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agrobacterium tumefaciens (62.72%)
  • Genetics (47.81%)
  • Plasmid (40.35%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1994-2016)?

  • Agrobacterium tumefaciens (62.72%)
  • Agrobacterium (37.72%)
  • Genetics (47.81%)

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

Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Agrobacterium, Genetics, Gene and Ti plasmid are his primary areas of study. His study in Agrobacterium tumefaciens is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Molecular biology and Operon, Mutant. His Agrobacterium research integrates issues from Plasmid, Pilus, Virulence, Microbiology and Regulation of gene expression.

His Virulence research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Octopine and Conserved sequence. Eugene W. Nester usually deals with Genetics and limits it to topics linked to Cell biology and DNA. His studies in Ti plasmid integrate themes in fields like Genetic transfer and Two-component regulatory system.

Between 1994 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • The Genome of the Natural Genetic Engineer Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 (710 citations)
  • Pilus assembly by Agrobacterium T-DNA transfer genes (225 citations)
  • Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of yeast (197 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Eugene W. Nester mostly deals with Genetics, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Agrobacterium, Plasmid and Gene. His study looks at the intersection of Genetics and topics like Cell biology with DNA. His Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Ti plasmid and Acetosyringone investigations all form part of his Agrobacterium tumefaciens research activities.

As part of the same scientific family, Eugene W. Nester usually focuses on Ti plasmid, concentrating on Transfer DNA and intersecting with Opine. His Plasmid study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sinorhizobium meliloti and Virulence. As part of his studies on Gene, he often connects relevant areas like Molecular biology.
