Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Metabolism
  • Gene

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Photosynthesis, Isotopes of carbon, Respiration and Biochemistry. In his research, Phloem and Animal science is intimately related to Carbon dioxide, which falls under the overarching field of Botany. His studies in Photosynthesis integrate themes in fields like Environmental chemistry and Metabolism.

His Isotopes of carbon research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Organic matter and Fractionation. His Respiration study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, Respiratory quotient, Metabolic pathway and Darkness. His Computational chemistry research extends to Biochemistry, which is thematically connected.

His most cited work include:

  • Despite slow catalysis and confused substrate specificity, all ribulose bisphosphate carboxylases may be nearly perfectly optimized. (508 citations)
  • Post-photosynthetic fractionation of stable carbon isotopes between plant organs--a widespread phenomenon. (336 citations)
  • Why are non-photosynthetic tissues generally 13C enriched compared with leaves in C3 plants? Review and synthesis of current hypotheses. (280 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Biochemistry, Photosynthesis, Botany, Metabolism and Respiration. His research on Biochemistry often connects related topics like Metabolomics. He has included themes like Environmental chemistry, Animal science and Isotopes of carbon in his Photosynthesis study.

His Botany research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Organic matter, Isotopes of nitrogen, Carbon dioxide and Isotope fractionation. The Metabolism study which covers Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase that intersects with Pentose phosphate pathway. His Respiration research incorporates themes from Darkness, Respiratory quotient, Horticulture, Respiratory system and Flux.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (63.01%)
  • Photosynthesis (52.60%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Photosynthesis (52.60%)
  • Metabolism (36.99%)
  • Biochemistry (63.01%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Photosynthesis, Metabolism, Biochemistry, Elaeis guineensis and Photorespiration. Photosynthesis is a primary field of his research addressed under Botany. His work on Respiration as part of general Botany research is frequently linked to Green sulfur bacteria, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His Metabolism study combines topics in areas such as Biophysics and Metabolomics. Biochemistry is closely attributed to Assimilation in his work. Guillaume Tcherkez has included themes like Threonine, Cultivar, Isotopes of carbon, Photosynthetic capacity and Methionine in his Animal science study.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • What is the role of putrescine accumulated under potassium deficiency (16 citations)
  • Lactic Acidosis Together with GM-CSF and M-CSF Induces Human Macrophages toward an Inflammatory Protumor Phenotype. (11 citations)
  • δ15N values in plants are determined by both nitrate assimilation and circulation (9 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Metabolism

Guillaume Tcherkez mostly deals with Photosynthesis, Biochemistry, Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate, Kinetic isotope effect and Radical. Many of his research projects under Photosynthesis are closely connected to Mathematics with Mathematics, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. Biochemistry connects with themes related to Assimilation in his study.

His Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate research includes themes of Photochemistry, Carbon fixation and Ribulose.
