Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Photosynthesis
  • Botany
  • Gene

Hendrik Küpper mainly focuses on Botany, Hyperaccumulator, Photosynthesis, Thlaspi caerulescens and Zinc. His study in the field of Photosystem I also crosses realms of Trichodesmium erythraeum. His Hyperaccumulator research incorporates themes from Growth medium and Trichome.

His work in the fields of Photosynthesis, such as Photosystem II, intersects with other areas such as Trichodesmium. His study in Thlaspi caerulescens is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Acclimatization, Epidermis and Biochemistry. The study incorporates disciplines such as Biophysics, Quenching and Chlorophyll fluorescence in addition to Acclimatization.

His most cited work include:

  • Cellular compartmentation of cadmium and zinc in relation to other elements in the hyperaccumulator Arabidopsis halleri (565 citations)
  • Cellular Compartmentation of Zinc in Leaves of the Hyperaccumulator Thlaspi caerulescens (393 citations)
  • The Cauliflower Or Gene Encodes a DnaJ Cysteine-Rich Domain-Containing Protein That Mediates High Levels of β-Carotene Accumulation (393 citations)

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

Hendrik Küpper mostly deals with Photosynthesis, Botany, Biophysics, Hyperaccumulator and Photosystem II. His Photosynthesis study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Environmental chemistry and Chlorophyll. Hendrik Küpper has included themes like Cyanobacteria and Vacuole in his Botany study.

The Biophysics study combines topics in areas such as Electron transport chain, Carbohydrate metabolism, Photosystem and Plant physiology. In the subject of general Hyperaccumulator, his work in Thlaspi caerulescens is often linked to Zinc and ATPase, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His Photosystem II research incorporates elements of Photoprotection and Chlorophyta.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Photosynthesis (91.15%)
  • Botany (70.80%)
  • Biophysics (48.67%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Photosynthesis (91.15%)
  • Biophysics (48.67%)
  • Zinc (33.63%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Photosynthesis, Biophysics, Zinc, Chlorophyll fluorescence and Cell biology. His Photosynthesis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Hyperaccumulator and Phomopsis longicolla. His Hyperaccumulator study combines topics in areas such as X-ray fluorescence, Biological system, Shoot and Micro-X-ray fluorescence.

The concepts of his Biophysics study are interwoven with issues in Plant physiology, Photosystem and Rhodospirillum rubrum. Within one scientific family, Hendrik Küpper focuses on topics pertaining to Arabidopsis thaliana under Cell biology, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Medicago and Nitrogenase. He usually deals with Gene expression and limits it to topics linked to Quenching and Kautsky effect, Molecular biology, Photosystem II and Epidermis.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Trace metal metabolism in plants. (93 citations)
  • Trace metal metabolism in plants. (93 citations)
  • Analysis of OJIP Chlorophyll Fluorescence Kinetics and QA Reoxidation Kinetics by Direct Fast Imaging (24 citations)

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

  • Photosynthesis
  • Gene
  • Botany

Hendrik Küpper mainly investigates Trace metal, Chlorophyll fluorescence, Materials science, Micronutrient and Detoxification. His work carried out in the field of Trace metal brings together such families of science as Photosynthesis, Micro-X-ray fluorescence, Biological system and Shoot. His Chlorophyll fluorescence research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in X-ray fluorescence, Hyperaccumulator, Plastoquinone and Microscopy.

His Materials science research includes elements of Fluorescence, Biophysics, Quenching, Ultrashort pulse and Yield. Micronutrient is integrated with Environmental chemistry and Metabolism in his research.
