Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Ecology

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Biochemistry, Desiccation, Desiccation tolerance, Botany and Antioxidant. Her studies in Biochemistry integrate themes in fields like Dormancy and Cell biology. Within one scientific family, Ilse Kranner focuses on topics pertaining to Oxidative stress under Desiccation, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Ramalina farinacea, Photoprotection and Fungus.

Her study looks at the relationship between Desiccation tolerance and topics such as Lichen, which overlap with Photosynthesis. Her work on Germination as part of general Botany study is frequently linked to Plant reproduction, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. Her Antioxidant research incorporates themes from Resurrection plant, Antheraxanthin, Pseudevernia furfuracea, Lobaria pulmonaria and Drought tolerance.

Her most cited work include:

  • What is stress? Concepts, definitions and applications in seed science. (267 citations)
  • Glutathione half-cell reduction potential: A universal stress marker and modulator of programmed cell death? (237 citations)
  • A Central Role for Thiols in Plant Tolerance to Abiotic Stress (235 citations)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Botany, Desiccation, Biochemistry, Germination and Glutathione. Her Botany study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Horticulture. Her Desiccation tolerance and Recalcitrant seed study in the realm of Desiccation interacts with subjects such as Absolute maximum.

The concepts of her Biochemistry study are interwoven with issues in Seed dormancy and Plant physiology. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Pisum, Animal science and Seedling. Her work deals with themes such as Oxidative stress, Antioxidant, Cysteine, Ageing and Metabolism, which intersect with Glutathione.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (56.36%)
  • Desiccation (34.55%)
  • Biochemistry (27.27%)

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

  • Germination (28.18%)
  • Horticulture (14.55%)
  • Botany (56.36%)

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

Ilse Kranner mainly investigates Germination, Horticulture, Botany, Desiccation and Glutathione. Her Germination research includes themes of Seedling, Catalase and Ageing. Her Thallus, Chlorophyta and Photosynthesis study in the realm of Botany connects with subjects such as Trebouxia.

Her Desiccation research focuses on Desiccation tolerance in particular. Her study with Glutathione involves better knowledge in Biochemistry. Her Biochemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ultrastructure and Metabolomics.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Changes in tocochromanols and glutathione reveal differences in the mechanisms of seed ageing under seedbank conditions and controlled deterioration in barley (16 citations)
  • Distress and eustress of reactive electrophiles and relevance to light stress acclimation via stimulation of thiol/disulphide-based redox defences. (13 citations)
  • Novel loci and a role for nitric oxide for seed dormancy and preharvest sprouting in barley. (9 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

Her primary areas of study are Germination, Ageing, Horticulture, Biochemistry and Glutathione. Her Germination study combines topics in areas such as Sprouting and Antioxidant. Her studies in Ageing integrate themes in fields like Gene bank, Desiccation, Seed testing, Imbibition and Cellular redox.

Her work on Seed dormancy, Gibberellin and Dormancy as part of general Horticulture research is frequently linked to Anthesis, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. Ilse Kranner interconnects Zygnematophyceae, Zygnema and Algal mat in the investigation of issues within Biochemistry. Her Glutathione study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Oxidative stress, Animal science, Thylakoid and Vitamin E.
