Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Biochemistry
  • Enzyme

His primary areas of investigation include Lignin, Cell wall, Food science, Forage and Agronomy. His Lignin research includes elements of Cellulose, Fodder and Ferulic acid. His Cell wall study is concerned with Botany in general.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Gastrointestinal tract, Dry matter and Polysaccharide in addition to Food science. His Forage study incorporates themes from Sample handling, Ultrastructure, Fiber and Ruminant. His work on Crop yield as part of general Agronomy study is frequently linked to Environmental science, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His most cited work include:

  • Forage cell wall structure and digestibility (627 citations)
  • Chemical composition and response to dilute-acid pretreatment and enzymatic saccharification of alfalfa, reed canarygrass, and switchgrass (418 citations)
  • Pathway of p-Coumaric Acid Incorporation into Maize Lignin As Revealed by NMR (328 citations)

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

Hans-Joachim G. Jung mainly investigates Lignin, Food science, Cell wall, Agronomy and Botany. His Lignin study combines topics in areas such as Cellulose, Poaceae, Straw and Ferulic acid. His work deals with themes such as Neutral Detergent Fiber and Dry matter, which intersect with Food science.

Hans-Joachim G. Jung interconnects Pith, Xylem, Horticulture and Polysaccharide in the investigation of issues within Cell wall. His Polysaccharide research focuses on subjects like Xylose, which are linked to Chromatography and Sugar. In his research, Ethanol fermentation is intimately related to Cellulosic ethanol, which falls under the overarching field of Agronomy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Lignin (54.11%)
  • Food science (47.26%)
  • Cell wall (38.36%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2017)?

  • Agronomy (32.88%)
  • Lignin (54.11%)
  • Food science (47.26%)

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

His main research concerns Agronomy, Lignin, Food science, Stover and Ethanol fuel. His research in Agronomy intersects with topics in Biomass and Cellulosic ethanol. His research on Lignin often connects related areas such as Cell wall.

His research investigates the connection between Cell wall and topics such as Polysaccharide that intersect with issues in Xylose and Secondary cell wall. The Food science study combines topics in areas such as Fiber, Feces, Dry matter and Enzymatic hydrolysis. His work focuses on many connections between Stover and other disciplines, such as Quantitative trait locus, that overlap with his field of interest in Heritability.

Between 2009 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Cell Wall Lignification and Degradability (254 citations)
  • Genomewide Selection versus Marker‐assisted Recurrent Selection to Improve Grain Yield and Stover‐quality Traits for Cellulosic Ethanol in Maize (124 citations)
  • Using RNA-Seq for gene identification, polymorphism detection and transcript profiling in two alfalfa genotypes with divergent cell wall composition in stems (111 citations)

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

  • Biochemistry
  • Botany
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Agronomy, Stover, Food science, Lignin and Cell wall. His study in Agronomy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ethanol, Ethanol fuel, Xylose, Panicum virgatum and Inbreeding. His research investigates the connection with Stover and areas like Quantitative trait locus which intersect with concerns in Cellulosic ethanol, Dry matter, Ethanol fermentation, Heritability and Enzymatic hydrolysis.

His Cell wall research incorporates themes from Rumen, Fermentation and Polysaccharide. The concepts of his Rumen study are interwoven with issues in Plant stem, Poaceae, Botany, Arabinoxylan and Silage. His work carried out in the field of Polysaccharide brings together such families of science as Pyrolysis, Xylem and Monolignol.
