Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Gene
Botany
Enzyme

Ian T. Baldwin focuses on Botany, Nicotiana attenuata, Herbivore, Manduca sexta and Ecology. His Botany research includes themes of Jasmonic acid and Nicotiana, Nicotiana sylvestris, Solanaceae. Ian T. Baldwin has included themes like Flor, Jasmonate, Protease, Transformation and Pollinator in his Nicotiana attenuata study.

The Herbivore study combines topics in areas such as Plant defense against herbivory, Insect and Predation. His work carried out in the field of Manduca sexta brings together such families of science as Biochemistry, Gene and Cell biology. The concepts of his Ecology study are interwoven with issues in Evolutionary biology and Variation.

His most cited work include:

Induced responses to herbivory (2189 citations)
Defensive function of herbivore-induced plant volatile emissions in nature. (1617 citations)
Plant responses to insect herbivory: The emerging molecular analysis (1167 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Nicotiana attenuata, Manduca sexta, Jasmonic acid and Herbivore. His research investigates the connection between Botany and topics such as Nicotine that intersect with issues in Nicotiana sylvestris. His studies in Nicotiana attenuata integrate themes in fields like Plant defense against herbivory and Jasmonate.

Manduca and Sphingidae are the core of his Manduca sexta study. His Jasmonic acid study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Methyl jasmonate and Arabidopsis. His Herbivore research is under the purview of Ecology.

He most often published in these fields:

Botany (47.69%)
Nicotiana attenuata (40.63%)
Manduca sexta (22.05%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

Nicotiana attenuata (40.63%)
Botany (47.69%)
Types of tobacco (10.09%)

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

Ian T. Baldwin mostly deals with Nicotiana attenuata, Botany, Types of tobacco, Herbivore and Gene. The various areas that Ian T. Baldwin examines in his Nicotiana attenuata study include Jasmonate, Manduca sexta, Cell biology, Attenuata and Pollinator. As a part of the same scientific study, Ian T. Baldwin usually deals with the Manduca sexta, concentrating on Biochemistry and frequently concerns with Autotoxicity.

His Botany research incorporates themes from Parasitic plant and Colonization. His research integrates issues of Shade avoidance and Function in his study of Types of tobacco. His Herbivore research includes themes of Regulator and Native plant.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Wild tobacco genomes reveal the evolution of nicotine biosynthesis (86 citations)
Large-scale gene losses underlie the genome evolution of parasitic plant Cuscuta australis (53 citations)
Herbivory-induced jasmonates constrain plant sugar accumulation and growth by antagonizing gibberellin signaling and not by promoting secondary metabolite production. (38 citations)

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

Gene
Botany
Enzyme

His main research concerns Botany, Nicotiana attenuata, Herbivore, Manduca sexta and Types of tobacco. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Plant disease resistance, Nutrient and Parasitic plant. His Nicotiana attenuata research incorporates elements of Jasmonate, Pollination, Pollinator, Cell biology and Manduca.

His work carried out in the field of Herbivore brings together such families of science as Jasmonic acid, Pesticide and Tupiocoris. His work investigates the relationship between Manduca sexta and topics such as Gene that intersect with problems in Effector. He combines subjects such as Stereochemistry and Small molecule with his study of Types of tobacco.
