Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Horticulture

His primary areas of study are Botany, Horticulture, Water transport, Water flow and Stomatal conductance. Janusz J. Zwiazek combines subjects such as Biophysics and Salinity with his study of Botany. His Salinity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cornaceae, Cornus sericea, Land reclamation and Taiga.

Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Salicaceae under Horticulture, and may sometimes address concerns connected to 2-Mercaptoethanol. The subject of his Stomatal conductance research is within the realm of Photosynthesis. His studies in Hydraulic conductivity integrate themes in fields like Agronomy and Xylem.

His most cited work include:

  • Ectomycorrhizas and water relations of trees: a review. (225 citations)
  • Mercuric Chloride Effects on Root Water Transport in Aspen Seedlings (132 citations)
  • Root water flow and growth of aspen (Populus tremuloides) at low root temperatures (124 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Horticulture, Shoot, Water transport and Stomatal conductance. His work in the fields of Botany, such as Transpiration and Photosynthesis, overlaps with other areas such as Water flow and Ectomycorrhiza. His Horticulture research incorporates themes from Salicaceae and Plant physiology.

He works mostly in the field of Shoot, limiting it down to topics relating to Xylem and, in certain cases, Root system. Water transport overlaps with fields such as Aquaporin, Hydraulic conductivity, Apoplast, Nicotiana tabacum and Woody plant in his research. The study of Stomatal conductance is intertwined with the study of Respiration in a number of ways.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (67.97%)
  • Horticulture (49.22%)
  • Shoot (38.28%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Aquaporin (16.41%)
  • Water transport (28.12%)
  • Botany (67.97%)

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

Janusz J. Zwiazek focuses on Aquaporin, Water transport, Botany, Photosynthesis and Transpiration. The concepts of his Aquaporin study are interwoven with issues in Biophysics and Membrane. Janusz J. Zwiazek brings together Botany and Laccaria bicolor to produce work in his papers.

His Photosynthesis study typically links adjacent topics like Horticulture. His research integrates issues of Chlorophyll and Plant physiology in his study of Transpiration. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cornus sericea and Xylem in addition to Apoplast.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Regulation of aquaporins in plants under stress (103 citations)
  • Overexpression of Laccaria bicolor aquaporin JQ585595 alters root water transport properties in ectomycorrhizal white spruce (Picea glauca) seedlings. (42 citations)
  • Significance of oxygen transport through aquaporins (39 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Biochemistry

Janusz J. Zwiazek spends much of his time researching Aquaporin, Water transport, Botany, Laccaria bicolor and Biophysics. Janusz J. Zwiazek interconnects Molecular biology and Okadaic acid in the investigation of issues within Aquaporin. Water transport is connected with Photosynthesis, Hydraulic conductivity, Transpiration, Arabidopsis thaliana and Dephosphorylation in his study.

His studies deal with areas such as Leaf lamina, Shoot, Agronomy and Girdling as well as Photosynthesis. His research links Horticulture with Botany. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cytoplasm, Intracellular, Cell signaling and Phosphorylation.
