Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

Jocelyn K. C. Rose focuses on Biochemistry, Botany, Ripening, Genomics and Solanum. Her Biochemistry and Cell wall, Xyloglucan, Gene family, Arabidopsis and Gene investigations all form part of her Biochemistry research activities. In general Botany study, her work on Cuticle often relates to the realm of Library science, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

Her studies in Ripening integrate themes in fields like Cell wall disassembly, Starch and Solanaceae. Her Genomics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Expressed sequence tag, Brachypodium and Triticeae. Her Genome research integrates issues from Solanum tuberosum and Solanum chilense, Wild tomato.

Her most cited work include:

  • The tomato genome sequence provides insights into fleshy fruit evolution (1991 citations)
  • Genome sequencing and analysis of the model grass Brachypodium distachyon (1433 citations)
  • Phytophthora Genome Sequences Uncover Evolutionary Origins and Mechanisms of Pathogenesis (840 citations)

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

Her main research concerns Biochemistry, Cell wall, Botany, Ripening and Cell biology. Her Cell wall research also works with subjects such as

  • Proteomics and Computational biology most often made with reference to Proteome,
  • Pectin together with Pectinase. Her studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like Oomycete, Phytophthora infestans and Solanaceae.

Her Ripening study incorporates themes from Cell wall disassembly, Expansin and Postharvest. Her work deals with themes such as Secretion and Transcriptome, Gene expression, which intersect with Cell biology. Her Solanum research includes elements of Genetics and Wild tomato.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (34.36%)
  • Cell wall (30.26%)
  • Botany (26.15%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Cell wall (30.26%)
  • Gene (14.87%)
  • Botany (26.15%)

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

Cell wall, Gene, Botany, Cutin and Cell biology are her primary areas of study. Her Cell wall research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cellulose, Brachypodium distachyon, Pectin and Missense mutation. Her research in Botany intersects with topics in Arabidopsis thaliana, Arabidopsis and Molecular phylogenetics.

Her Cutin research is classified as research in Biochemistry. The concepts of her Biochemistry study are interwoven with issues in Polyester and Organic chemistry. The various areas that Jocelyn K. C. Rose examines in her Genetics study include Ripening and Malus.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • The Plant Polyester Cutin: Biosynthesis, Structure, and Biological Roles (140 citations)
  • Fruit Softening: Revisiting the Role of Pectin. (112 citations)
  • Genetic improvement of tomato by targeted control of fruit softening. (109 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Cutin, Cuticle, Gene, Transcriptome and Biochemistry. Her Cuticle research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Arabidopsis thaliana and Arabidopsis. Her Transcriptome research incorporates elements of Ripening, Mangifera, Solanum and Botany.

She interconnects Pathogen, Oomycete, Phytophthora infestans and Cell biology in the investigation of issues within Botany. Her work in Mutant, Cell wall and Wax are all subfields of Biochemistry research. Her work in the fields of Genome, such as Neofunctionalization, intersects with other areas such as Artemisia annua.
