Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Botany

Hugh G. Dickinson spends much of his time researching Genetics, Pollen, Botany, Pollen coat and Pollen tube. His is doing research in Gene, Epigenetics, Endosperm, Arabidopsis and Embryo, both of which are found in Genetics. His Arabidopsis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Trehalose and Cell biology.

His Pollen research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Callose and Mitosis. His work on Stamen is typically connected to Pollen dispersal and Structure and function as part of general Botany study, connecting several disciplines of science. His Pollen coat research incorporates themes from Pollen hydration, Biophysics and Brassica oleracea.

His most cited work include:

  • Stamen structure and function (456 citations)
  • Parent-of-origin effects on seed development in Arabidopsis thaliana (448 citations)
  • Trehalose‐6‐phosphate synthase 1, which catalyses the first step in trehalose synthesis, is essential for Arabidopsis embryo maturation (297 citations)

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

Hugh G. Dickinson mainly focuses on Genetics, Botany, Pollen, Cell biology and Gene. His studies in Arabidopsis, Epigenetics, Endosperm, Meiosis and Genomic imprinting are all subfields of Genetics research. The study incorporates disciplines such as Promoter and Embryo in addition to Endosperm.

His Biophysics research extends to the thematically linked field of Botany. His studies deal with areas such as Brassica oleracea and Germination as well as Pollen. His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Meiocyte, Cell fate determination, Tapetum and Stamen.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (44.24%)
  • Botany (36.36%)
  • Pollen (32.73%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Arabidopsis (18.18%)
  • Genetics (44.24%)
  • Cell biology (23.03%)

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

Hugh G. Dickinson focuses on Arabidopsis, Genetics, Cell biology, Gene and Epigenetics. His Arabidopsis research integrates issues from RNA, Arabidopsis thaliana, Gametophyte and Botany. Hugh G. Dickinson mostly deals with Pollen tube in his studies of Botany.

Pollen tube is a subfield of Pollen that Hugh G. Dickinson explores. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Loss function, Tapetum, Microsporangia and Germ cell. The concepts of his Imprinting study are interwoven with issues in Endosperm, Nutrient and Embryo.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Maternal Control of Nutrient Allocation in Plant Seeds by Genomic Imprinting (110 citations)
  • Central cell-derived peptides regulate early embryo patterning in flowering plants. (108 citations)
  • A Conversation across Generations: Soma-Germ Cell Crosstalk in Plants (49 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Botany

His primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Arabidopsis, Cell biology, microRNA and Epigenome. As part of his studies on Genetics, Hugh G. Dickinson often connects relevant areas like Nutrient. The Arabidopsis study combines topics in areas such as Microsporangia, Arabidopsis thaliana and Pollen, Botany.

His work carried out in the field of Pollen brings together such families of science as RNA and Germination. His Botany study incorporates themes from Suspensor, Proembryo, Embryo and Plant embryogenesis. His Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Tapetum, Meristem, Gamete, Stamen and Cell fate determination.
