Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Photosynthesis

Gabriel Cornic focuses on Photosynthesis, Botany, Photorespiration, Respiration and RuBisCO. His Photosynthesis research integrates issues from Chloroplast, ATP synthase and Horticulture. His research in ATP synthase intersects with topics in Stomatal aperture, Electron transport chain, Energy quenching, Plant science and Drought stress.

His study brings together the fields of Carbon dioxide and Botany. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Organic matter, Photosystem II and Photosynthetic pigment. His Stomatal conductance research incorporates themes from Vapour Pressure Deficit, Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, Carbohydrate, Compensation point and Carbon fixation.

His most cited work include:

  • Photosynthetic carbon assimilation and associated metabolism in relation to water deficits in higher plants (1331 citations)
  • Drought stress inhibits photosynthesis by decreasing stomatal aperture – not by affecting ATP synthesis (589 citations)
  • Partitioning of photosynthetic electron flow between CO2 and O2 reduction in a C3 leaf (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) at different CO2 concentrations and during drought stress (337 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Photosynthesis, Botany, Photosystem II, Photorespiration and Horticulture. His Photosynthesis research is within the category of Biochemistry. His study in the fields of Respiration, Phaseolus and Photosynthetic capacity under the domain of Botany overlaps with other disciplines such as Isotopes of carbon.

The various areas that Gabriel Cornic examines in his Photosystem II study include Photochemistry and Electron transport chain. His study focuses on the intersection of Photorespiration and fields such as Plastid terminal oxidase with connections in the field of Plastoquinone, Photoprotection and Chlororespiration. His Horticulture study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Dehydration and Nitrate reductase.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Photosynthesis (68.66%)
  • Botany (56.72%)
  • Photosystem II (22.39%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2017)?

  • Photosynthesis (68.66%)
  • Botany (56.72%)
  • Photorespiration (22.39%)

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

Gabriel Cornic mostly deals with Photosynthesis, Botany, Photorespiration, Biochemistry and Metabolic pathway. His Photosynthesis research includes elements of Chlorophyll and Respiration. His work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as Abscisic acid and Horticulture.

Within one scientific family, Gabriel Cornic focuses on topics pertaining to Compensation point under Photorespiration, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Animal science, Carbon dioxide and Respiration rate. His study in the field of Citric acid cycle, Metabolism, Alternative oxidase and Arabidopsis thaliana also crosses realms of NDUFS4. The Metabolism study combines topics in areas such as Phaseolus, Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and Respiratory quotient.

Between 2007 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Respiratory metabolism of illuminated leaves depends on CO2 and O2 conditions. (149 citations)
  • In Folio Respiratory Fluxomics Revealed by 13C Isotopic Labeling and H/D Isotope Effects Highlight the Noncyclic Nature of the Tricarboxylic Acid “Cycle” in Illuminated Leaves (141 citations)
  • Leaf day respiration: low CO2 flux but high significance for metabolism and carbon balance (76 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Photosynthesis

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Photosynthesis, Metabolic pathway, Botany, Biochemistry and Photorespiration. He studies Photosynthetic capacity which is a part of Photosynthesis. In the subject of general Botany, his work in Poaceae and Plant ecology is often linked to Botánica and Flavonols, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Compensation point, RuBisCO and Plastoquinone in addition to Photorespiration. His Compensation point study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Respiration rate, Carbon dioxide and Animal science. His Metabolism research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Phaseolus, Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and Respiratory quotient.
