Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Photosynthesis

His primary scientific interests are in Photosynthesis, Botany, RuBisCO, Carbon dioxide and Acclimatization. George Bowes does research in Photosynthesis, focusing on Photorespiration specifically. His study in Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and Compensation point is done as part of Botany.

George Bowes has included themes like Crassulacean acid metabolism and Pyruvate carboxylase in his RuBisCO study. His Co2 concentration study, which is part of a larger body of work in Carbon dioxide, is frequently linked to Light intensity, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Acclimatization research includes elements of Oryza sativa and Poaceae.

His most cited work include:

  • Climate change and ocean acidification effects on seagrasses and marine macroalgae (464 citations)
  • Growth at elevated CO2: photosynthetic responses mediated through Rubisco (311 citations)
  • Comparison of the photosynthetic characteristics of three submersed aquatic plants. (275 citations)

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

His main research concerns Photosynthesis, Botany, RuBisCO, Biochemistry and Hydrilla. His Photosynthesis study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Oryza sativa, Carbon dioxide and Horticulture. George Bowes combines subjects such as Myriophyllum and Aquatic plant with his study of Botany.

His research integrates issues of Co2 concentration, Oxygenase and Metabolism in his study of RuBisCO. His work carried out in the field of Hydrilla brings together such families of science as Egeria densa and Respiration. In his study, Dissolved organic carbon is strongly linked to Algae, which falls under the umbrella field of Photorespiration.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Photosynthesis (83.78%)
  • Botany (68.92%)
  • RuBisCO (44.59%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2001-2018)?

  • Botany (68.92%)
  • Photosynthesis (83.78%)
  • Hydrilla (24.32%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Photosynthesis, Hydrilla, Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and RuBisCO. His Botany study frequently links to related topics such as Chloroplast. His Photosynthesis research includes elements of Ecology, Total inorganic carbon, Horticulture and Oryza sativa.

In his research, Carbon dioxide is intimately related to Japonica, which falls under the overarching field of Horticulture. The concepts of his Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase study are interwoven with issues in Differential display, Crassulacean acid metabolism and C4 photosynthesis. George Bowes works mostly in the field of RuBisCO, limiting it down to topics relating to Egeria densa and, in certain cases, Chlorophyta and Hydrocharitaceae, as a part of the same area of interest.

Between 2001 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Climate change and ocean acidification effects on seagrasses and marine macroalgae (464 citations)
  • C4 mechanisms in aquatic angiosperms: comparisons with terrestrial C4 systems (90 citations)
  • Rubisco expression in rice leaves is related to genotypic variation of photosynthesis under elevated growth CO2 and temperature (41 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Botany
  • Photosynthesis

George Bowes focuses on Botany, Photosynthesis, Carbon dioxide, RuBisCO and Ecology. The various areas that he examines in his Botany study include Oryza sativa and Horticulture. George Bowes interconnects Hydrilla, Hydrocharitaceae, Terrestrial plant, Poaceae and Egeria densa in the investigation of issues within Photosynthesis.

His Carbon dioxide research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Dissolved organic carbon, Ecosystem, Ocean acidification and Algae. His study in Chlorophyta extends to RuBisCO with its themes. His work on Ecology deals in particular with Marine biology, Climate change and Seagrass.
