Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Genus

Botany, Seagrass, Photosynthesis, Ecology and Proteaceae are his primary areas of study. His research on Botany often connects related topics like Microbiology. His study in the field of Posidonia is also linked to topics like Disturbance.

His Taxon, Zosteraceae, Cymodoceaceae and Taxonomy study, which is part of a larger body of work in Ecology, is frequently linked to Clearance, bridging the gap between disciplines. John Kuo interconnects Identification key, Potamogetonaceae and Biogeography in the investigation of issues within Taxon. The concepts of his Proteaceae study are interwoven with issues in Rhizosphere and Nutrient.

His most cited work include:

  • Electron microscopy : methods and protocols (165 citations)
  • Taxonomy and Biogeography of Seagrasses (155 citations)
  • Proceedings of an International Workshop (136 citations)

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

John Kuo spends much of his time researching Botany, Seagrass, Ecology, Ultrastructure and Xylem. His studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like Halophila and Halophila ovalis. His work in Seagrass addresses subjects such as Genus, which are connected to disciplines such as Sponge.

His research integrates issues of Zostera muelleri, Microbiology, Cyanobacteria, Symbiosis and Cell wall in his study of Ultrastructure. His Xylem research includes themes of Casparian strip, Apoplast, Anatomy, Phloem and Epidermis. John Kuo combines subjects such as Taxon and Potamogetonaceae with his study of Taxonomy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (66.67%)
  • Seagrass (21.93%)
  • Ecology (18.42%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2020)?

  • Botany (66.67%)
  • Seagrass (21.93%)
  • Ecology (18.42%)

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

John Kuo focuses on Botany, Seagrass, Ecology, Photosynthesis and Xylem. The study incorporates disciplines such as Amphibolis and Thalassodendron in addition to Botany. His work in the fields of Halophila overlaps with other areas such as δ34S.

His research in the fields of Zosteraceae, Aerenchyma and Estuary overlaps with other disciplines such as Hydrogen sulfide and Sulfide. His Photosynthesis research includes themes of Proteaceae and Biogeochemical cycle. The Xylem study combines topics in areas such as Rhizome, Shoot and Callus.

Between 2009 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Electron microscopy : methods and protocols (165 citations)
  • Proteaceae from severely phosphorus-impoverished soils extensively replace phospholipids with galactolipids and sulfolipids during leaf development to achieve a high photosynthetic phosphorus-use-efficiency. (126 citations)
  • Physiological and ecological significance of biomineralization in plants. (85 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Genus

John Kuo mainly investigates Botany, Photosynthesis, Proteaceae, Banksia and Nanotechnology. His work deals with themes such as Oxalic acid and Nuclear chemistry, which intersect with Botany. His Photosynthesis research incorporates elements of Ecological significance, Biogeochemical cycle and Germination.

His Proteaceae study incorporates themes from Soil water and RuBisCO. Banksia combines with fields such as Ribosomal protein, Ribosomal RNA, Phosphorus metabolism and Chlorophyll in his investigation.
