Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Jeremy A. Roberts mainly investigates Abscission, Botany, Floral organ abscission, Solanaceae and Cell separation. He combines subjects such as Gene expression and Cell biology with his study of Abscission. His Gene expression research focuses on Complementary DNA and how it relates to Molecular biology.

As a part of the same scientific study, Jeremy A. Roberts usually deals with the Cell biology, concentrating on Gene and frequently concerns with Endosperm. His study on Botany is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Arabidopsis. His work carried out in the field of Solanaceae brings together such families of science as Pectinase, Ripening and Lycopersicon.

His most cited work include:

  • Cell Biology of Abscission (390 citations)
  • ABSCISSION, DEHISCENCE, AND OTHER CELL SEPARATION PROCESSES (382 citations)
  • The X-factor: visualizing undisturbed root architecture in soils using X-ray computed tomography (147 citations)

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

Jeremy A. Roberts focuses on Botany, Abscission, Agronomy, Horticulture and Cell biology. His Botany research includes themes of Auxin and Solanaceae. His Abscission study combines topics in areas such as Complementary DNA, Arabidopsis, Gene expression and Biochemistry.

His work deals with themes such as Soil compaction and Stomatal conductance, which intersect with Agronomy. In his study, Pectinase is strongly linked to Dehiscence, which falls under the umbrella field of Horticulture. His studies in Cell biology integrate themes in fields like Arabidopsis thaliana, Floral organ abscission and Gene, Cellular differentiation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (36.77%)
  • Abscission (28.39%)
  • Agronomy (17.42%)

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

  • Arabidopsis (14.19%)
  • Botany (36.77%)
  • Biochemistry (12.90%)

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

Jeremy A. Roberts mainly focuses on Arabidopsis, Botany, Biochemistry, Gene and Genetics. His research integrates issues of Abscission, Auxin and Drought tolerance in his study of Arabidopsis. Abscission connects with themes related to Cell wall in his study.

His work in the fields of Botany, such as Taxonomy, Chemotaxonomy and Terpenoid, intersects with other areas such as Root and Molecular phylogenetics. When carried out as part of a general Biochemistry research project, his work on Hydrotropism and Meristem is frequently linked to work in Elongation and Cell division, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. Jeremy A. Roberts usually deals with Gene and limits it to topics linked to Sepal and Arabidopsis thaliana and Cell biology.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Root hydrotropism is controlled via a cortex-specific growth mechanism (76 citations)
  • Root hydrotropism is controlled via a cortex-specific growth mechanism (76 citations)
  • Annual Plant Reviews (31 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Jeremy A. Roberts mostly deals with Cell biology, Floral organ abscission, Mutant, Elongation and Hydrotropism. The concepts of his Cell biology study are interwoven with issues in Regulator, Abscission, Arabidopsis and Auxin. His Floral organ abscission research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Phenotype and Cotyledon.

Mutant is a subfield of Gene that Jeremy A. Roberts tackles. His Elongation research encompasses a variety of disciplines, including Cortex, Cell division, Meristem, Biochemistry and Biophysics. His Hydrotropism research integrates issues from Gravitropism, Abscisic acid and Root cap.
