Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Transgene, Peroxidase, Botany, Biochemistry and Oxidative stress are his primary areas of study. Haeng-Soon Lee focuses mostly in the field of Transgene, narrowing it down to matters related to Abscisic acid and, in some cases, Carotenoid. His research links Superoxide dismutase with Peroxidase.

His Botany course of study focuses on Abiotic stress and Horticulture. His Oxidative stress research includes elements of Photosynthesis and Chloroplast. His studies deal with areas such as Germination and Plant physiology as well as APX.

His most cited work include:

  • Analysis of antioxidant enzyme activity during germination of alfalfa under salt and drought stresses (325 citations)
  • Enhanced tolerance to oxidative stress in transgenic tobacco plants expressing three antioxidant enzymes in chloroplasts. (184 citations)
  • Enhanced tolerance of transgenic potato plants expressing both superoxide dismutase and ascorbate peroxidase in chloroplasts against oxidative stress and high temperature. (166 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Transgene, Biochemistry, Oxidative stress and Peroxidase. His studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like Genetically modified crops, Abiotic stress and Horticulture. His Transgene research incorporates themes from Arabidopsis, Abscisic acid, Nicotiana tabacum and Cell biology.

His study explores the link between Biochemistry and topics such as Fibrous root system that cross with problems in Polyphenol oxidase. The Oxidative stress study combines topics in areas such as Reactive oxygen species, Oxidative phosphorylation and Chloroplast. His Peroxidase research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Catalase, Superoxide dismutase, Point of delivery and Plant physiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (59.05%)
  • Transgene (48.57%)
  • Biochemistry (42.86%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2019)?

  • Transgene (48.57%)
  • Botany (59.05%)
  • Carotenoid (26.67%)

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

Haeng-Soon Lee focuses on Transgene, Botany, Carotenoid, Biochemistry and Abiotic stress. The concepts of his Transgene study are interwoven with issues in Chloroplast and Arabidopsis. His work carried out in the field of Chloroplast brings together such families of science as Photosynthesis and Oxidative stress.

In his research, Perennial plant is intimately related to Genetically modified crops, which falls under the overarching field of Botany. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Biochemistry, Catalase, Antioxidant, Polyphenol oxidase, Point of delivery and Superoxide dismutase is strongly linked to Fibrous root system. His Abiotic stress research incorporates elements of Auxin and Photosystem II.

Between 2014 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Transgenic poplar expressing Arabidopsis YUCCA6 exhibits auxin-overproduction phenotypes and increased tolerance to abiotic stress. (60 citations)
  • Orange protein has a role in phytoene synthase stabilization in sweetpotato (54 citations)
  • Orange protein has a role in phytoene synthase stabilization in sweetpotato (54 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Haeng-Soon Lee mainly focuses on Carotenoid, Botany, Transgene, Abiotic stress and Ipomoea. His research investigates the link between Carotenoid and topics such as Genetically modified crops that cross with problems in Food science, Cyanidin and Orange. He has researched Botany in several fields, including Root hair and Cell biology.

Haeng-Soon Lee regularly links together related areas like Auxin in his Transgene studies. His research investigates the connection between Abiotic stress and topics such as Arabidopsis that intersect with issues in Chloroplast, Biosynthesis, Phytoene synthase and Oxidative stress. His Ipomoea research includes themes of Cultivar, Anthocyanin, Zeaxanthin, Plant physiology and Cauliflower mosaic virus.
