Overview

Frank R. Blattner is affiliated with the Leibniz Association in Germany and conducts research primarily within the fields of Agricultural and Biological Sciences as well as Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology. Their work broadly covers subfields including Plant Science, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, Genetics, Molecular Biology, and to a lesser extent, Oncology.

The main topics of their research involve Plant Ecology and Taxonomy Studies, Genetic diversity and population structure, Botany, Ecology, and Taxonomy Studies, Chromosomal and Genetic Variations, Garlic and Onion Studies, Plant Diversity and Evolution, and Plant Disease Resistance and Genetics.

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Frank R. Blattner include Ali Bagheri, Dörte Harpke, Simon Pfanzelt, Zahra Nemati, and Herbert Hurka. They have contributed to several publication venues with repeated appearances in Scientific Reports, Phytotaxa, Biology, Ecology and Evolution, and Plant Biosystems - An International Journal Dealing with all Aspects of Plant Biology.

Recent papers authored or co-authored by Blattner include:
