Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Enzyme

Botany, Traditional medicine, Medicinal plants, Germination and Antibacterial agent are his primary areas of study. His research on Botany focuses in particular on Plant physiology. His studies in Traditional medicine integrate themes in fields like Antibacterial activity, Pharmacognosy and Antimicrobial.

The Medicinal plants study which covers Bark that intersects with Ethyl acetate. His Germination research incorporates themes from Smoke and Seedling. The concepts of his Cytokinin study are interwoven with issues in Callus and Algae.

His most cited work include:

  • Dissecting the roles of osmolyte accumulation during stress (1025 citations)
  • Biological activities and distribution of plant saponins. (917 citations)
  • Proline synthesis and degradation: a model system for elucidating stress-related signal transduction (395 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Cytokinin, Germination, Traditional medicine and Horticulture. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Explant culture, Micropropagation and Tissue culture. His Cytokinin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Plant physiology, Endogeny and Metabolism.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Smoke and Seedling in addition to Germination. His work deals with themes such as Anti-inflammatory, Antibacterial activity and Antimicrobial, which intersect with Traditional medicine. J. Van Staden has researched Shoot in several fields, including Kinetin and Murashige and Skoog medium.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (57.59%)
  • Cytokinin (16.80%)
  • Germination (16.50%)

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

  • Botany (57.59%)
  • Traditional medicine (15.49%)
  • Medicinal plants (9.01%)

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

His primary areas of study are Botany, Traditional medicine, Medicinal plants, Germination and Antimicrobial. He works on Botany which deals in particular with Shoot. In his research, Flavonoid is intimately related to Antibacterial activity, which falls under the overarching field of Traditional medicine.

J. Van Staden regularly links together related areas like Anti-inflammatory in his Medicinal plants studies. His Germination study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Smoke and Seedling. His Antimicrobial study contributes to a more complete understanding of Microbiology.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Anti-inflammatory, anticholinesterase, antioxidant and phytochemical properties of medicinal plants used for pain-related ailments in South Africa. (114 citations)
  • Quality from the field: The impact of environmental factors as quality determinants in medicinal plants (109 citations)
  • Antimicrobial properties and phenolic contents of medicinal plants used by the Venda people for conditions related to venereal diseases. (90 citations)
