Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Botany

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biochemistry, Phloem, Botany, Sucrose and Sieve tube element. Much of his study explores Biochemistry relationship to Chlorella vulgaris. His work carried out in the field of Phloem brings together such families of science as Hypocotyl, Endosperm, Xylem and Seedling.

His work in Botany addresses issues such as Horticulture, which are connected to fields such as Luteovirus and Luteoviridae. The concepts of his Sucrose study are interwoven with issues in Sugar, Membrane potential, Centrifugation and Sucrose transport. His Sieve tube element study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Aphid, Exudate and Phloem transport.

His most cited work include:

  • Sucrose Accumulation in the Sugarcane Stem Is Regulated by the Difference between the Activities of Soluble Acid Invertase and Sucrose Phosphate Synthase (186 citations)
  • A non-invasive measurement of phloem and xylem water flow in castor bean seedlings by nuclear magnetic resonance microimaging (150 citations)
  • Sucrose uptake by cotyledons of Ricinus communis L.: Characteristics, mechanism, and regulation. (142 citations)

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

Ewald Komor mainly investigates Biochemistry, Botany, Phloem, Sucrose and Sugar. The various areas that Ewald Komor examines in his Biochemistry study include Chlorella vulgaris and Chlorella. His study looks at the relationship between Botany and fields such as Horticulture, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His work in Phloem addresses subjects such as Hypocotyl, which are connected to disciplines such as Endosperm. His research in Sucrose intersects with topics in Fructose, Carbohydrate and Sucrose transport. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cotransporter, Membrane and Membrane potential.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (47.09%)
  • Botany (31.22%)
  • Phloem (24.87%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2018)?

  • Cultivar (10.58%)
  • Botany (31.22%)
  • Agronomy (7.41%)

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

Cultivar, Botany, Agronomy, Horticulture and Sucrose are his primary areas of study. His Cultivar research incorporates elements of Titer, Virus, Plant virus and Cane. His studies deal with areas such as Sugarcane yellow leaf virus and Phylogenetics as well as Botany.

His Horticulture research includes themes of Phytoplasma and Transformation. His work on Ricinus expands to the thematically related Sucrose. His studies in Sieve tube element integrate themes in fields like Biochemistry, Amino acid transporter, Chromatography, Aphid and Methionine.

Between 2007 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • How aphids decide what is good for them: experiments to test aphid feeding behaviour on Tanacetum vulgare (L.) using different nitrogen regimes (69 citations)
  • RT-PCR and quantitative real-time RT-PCR detection of Sugarcane Yellow Leaf Virus (SCYLV) in symptomatic and asymptomatic plants of Hawaiian sugarcane cultivars and the correlation of SCYLV titre to yield (32 citations)
  • Diurnal changes in assimilate concentrations and fluxes in the phloem of castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) and tansy (Tanacetum vulgare L.). (25 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Botany

Ewald Komor focuses on Botany, Cultivar, Virus, Virology and Luteoviridae. Phloem, Sieve tube element, Aphid, Plasmodesma and Chlorophyll are among the areas of Botany where Ewald Komor concentrates his study. His research in Phloem is mostly focused on Phloem transport.

His Sieve tube element study combines topics in areas such as Ricinus and Sucrose. His Virus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Photosynthesis and Horticulture. His research in Virology intersects with topics in ORFS, Sugar, Cane, Genotype and Polymerase chain reaction.
