Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Organic chemistry
  • Biochemistry

His primary scientific interests are in Lignin, Organic chemistry, Biochemistry, Cell wall and Monolignol. His Lignin study improves the overall literature in Botany. As part of his studies on Organic chemistry, John Ralph often connects relevant subjects like Ferulic acid.

The Cell wall study which covers Ultrastructure that intersects with Corn stover and Nanoporous. His studies in Monolignol integrate themes in fields like Transgene, Cinnamoyl-CoA reductase, Nicotiana tabacum, Xylem and Caffeic acid. His studies deal with areas such as Biomass, Hydrolysis and Chromatography, Formic acid as well as Cellulose.

His most cited work include:

  • Lignin Biosynthesis and Structure (1324 citations)
  • Lignins: Natural polymers from oxidative coupling of 4-hydroxyphenyl- propanoids (985 citations)
  • Paving the Way for Lignin Valorisation: Recent Advances in Bioengineering, Biorefining and Catalysis. (764 citations)

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

Lignin, Organic chemistry, Biochemistry, Cell wall and Monolignol are his primary areas of study. The subject of his Lignin research is within the realm of Botany. He focuses mostly in the field of Organic chemistry, narrowing it down to topics relating to Ferulic acid and, in certain cases, Saponification, Bran, Diferulic acids and Arabinoxylan.

His Cell wall study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cellulose, Chemical engineering, Phenylpropanoid and Xylem. His Monolignol study combines topics in areas such as Transferase, Sinapyl alcohol and Caffeic acid. His work carried out in the field of Biomass brings together such families of science as Sugar and Biofuel.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Lignin (106.41%)
  • Organic chemistry (61.01%)
  • Biochemistry (44.54%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Lignin (106.41%)
  • Organic chemistry (61.01%)
  • Monolignol (26.86%)

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

John Ralph mostly deals with Lignin, Organic chemistry, Monolignol, Cell wall and Biochemistry. His Lignin study incorporates themes from Yield, Hydrolysis, Catalysis, Biomass and Monomer. John Ralph combines subjects such as Ferulic acid, Cellulose and Pulp and paper industry with his study of Biomass.

His Monomer research focuses on subjects like Sinapyl alcohol, which are linked to Polymerization. His Monolignol research includes themes of Benzoates, Botany and Coniferyl alcohol. His work in the fields of Secondary cell wall overlaps with other areas such as Composition.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Lignin structure and its engineering (113 citations)
  • Lignin structure and its engineering (113 citations)
  • Lignin biosynthesis and its integration into metabolism. (105 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Organic chemistry
  • Gene

John Ralph mainly focuses on Lignin, Organic chemistry, Cell wall, Monomer and Biomass. His Lignin research is mostly focused on the topic Lignocellulosic biomass. The Cell wall study combines topics in areas such as Food science, Acrocomia aculeata, Arabinoxylan, Polysaccharide and RNA interference.

His work in Arabinoxylan tackles topics such as Brachypodium distachyon which are related to areas like Botany. His research investigates the connection between Monomer and topics such as Yield that intersect with problems in Sequence comparison and Toluene. As a part of the same scientific study, John Ralph usually deals with the Biomass, concentrating on Cellulose and frequently concerns with Plant stem, Sorghum, Horticulture, Dry weight and Sugar.
