  • 2005 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

Fred D. Sack focuses on Arabidopsis, Botany, Cell biology, Genetics and Arabidopsis thaliana. Fred D. Sack has included themes like Mutation, Transcription factor and Cell growth in his Arabidopsis study. The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Gravitropism and Amyloplast.

His Gravitropism research includes elements of Negative gravitropism, Plastid and Statocyte. In his study, Endoplasmic reticulum and Anatomy is strongly linked to Biophysics, which falls under the umbrella field of Amyloplast. His work deals with themes such as Ultrastructure, Cellular differentiation and Cell plate, Cell division, Cytokinesis, which intersect with Cell biology.

His most cited work include:

  • Control of stomatal distribution on the Arabidopsis leaf surface. (430 citations)
  • Plant Gravity Sensing (309 citations)
  • Amyloplasts are necessary for full gravitropic sensitivity in roots of Arabidopsis thaliana. (281 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Gravitropism, Cell biology, Arabidopsis and Amyloplast. Fred D. Sack combines subjects such as Cytoplasm, Biophysics, Wild type, Endoplasmic reticulum and Microtubule with his study of Botany. His Gravitropism research integrates issues from Plastid, Negative gravitropism, Curvature and Protonema.

His studies examine the connections between Cell biology and genetics, as well as such issues in Vesicle, with regards to Golgi apparatus. He interconnects Arabidopsis thaliana, MYB and Guard cell in the investigation of issues within Arabidopsis. His work in Amyloplast addresses subjects such as Endodermis, which are connected to disciplines such as Root hair.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (63.64%)
  • Gravitropism (39.09%)
  • Cell biology (41.82%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2018)?

  • Arabidopsis (39.09%)
  • Cell biology (41.82%)
  • Genetics (13.64%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Arabidopsis, Cell biology, Genetics, Botany and MYB. His research on Arabidopsis concerns the broader Mutant. His Cell biology research incorporates elements of Endocytosis, Cell membrane and Cell division, Cytokinesis.

His work on Transcription Factor Gene and Mitosis as part of general Genetics research is often related to Gametogenesis, thus linking different fields of science. His study on Botany is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Arabidopsis thaliana. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of MYB, Plastid and Endoreduplication is strongly linked to Cyclin-dependent kinase.

Between 2009 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Regulation of Cell Proliferation in the Stomatal Lineage by the Arabidopsis MYB FOUR LIPS via Direct Targeting of Core Cell Cycle Genes (111 citations)
  • Regulation of Cell Proliferation in the Stomatal Lineage by the Arabidopsis MYB FOUR LIPS via Direct Targeting of Core Cell Cycle Genes (111 citations)
  • Developmental regulation of CYCA2s contributes to tissue-specific proliferation in Arabidopsis (86 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

Fred D. Sack mostly deals with Arabidopsis, MYB, Cell growth, Cell cycle and Cell biology. His study in Arabidopsis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Adaptation and Regulation of gene expression. His MYB research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Arabidopsis thaliana, Mutant, Abscisic acid, Botany and Abiotic stress.

His Cell growth research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Chromatin, Gene, Cyclin-dependent kinase and Cell Cycle Gene. His studies deal with areas such as Morphogenesis, Mitosis, Multicellular organism and Transcription factor as well as Cell cycle. His Cell biology study combines topics in areas such as Nucleoporin, Cell division and Cell fate determination.
