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)

  • 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.
