Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry

His primary areas of investigation include Abscisic acid, Hordeum vulgare, Aleurone, Biochemistry and Botany. His Abscisic acid study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Seed dormancy and Dormancy. He has researched Hordeum vulgare in several fields, including Agrobacterium, Selectable marker, Callus, Genetically modified crops and Protoplast.

The Aleurone study combines topics in areas such as Gibberellin, Gene expression, Gibberellic acid and Messenger RNA. His research on Biochemistry focuses in particular on Transcription. John V. Jacobsen combines subjects such as GenBank, Arabidopsis and Computational biology with his study of Botany.

His most cited work include:

  • Gibberellin-regulated expression of a myb gene in barley aleurone cells: evidence for Myb transactivation of a high-pI alpha-amylase gene promoter. (472 citations)
  • The Electronic Plant Gene Register (374 citations)
  • Dormancy release, ABA and pre-harvest sprouting. (343 citations)

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

John V. Jacobsen spends much of his time researching Aleurone, Biochemistry, Hordeum vulgare, Abscisic acid and Gibberellin. The various areas that he examines in his Aleurone study include Molecular biology, Gibberellic acid, Secretion and Incubation. His study in Gene expression, Amylase, Enzyme, Gene and Messenger RNA is done as part of Biochemistry.

His Hordeum vulgare research integrates issues from Enzyme assay, Isozyme, Agrobacterium, Cell biology and Transcription. His Abscisic acid research includes themes of Amino acid, Dormancy, Germination and Plant physiology. His Gibberellin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Plant cell and Signal transduction.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Aleurone (58.57%)
  • Biochemistry (57.14%)
  • Hordeum vulgare (47.14%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2004-2016)?

  • Dormancy (18.57%)
  • Abscisic acid (37.14%)
  • Germination (24.29%)

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

His primary areas of study are Dormancy, Abscisic acid, Germination, Seed dormancy and Botany. His Abscisic acid research includes elements of Gene expression and Hordeum vulgare. His Hordeum vulgare study incorporates themes from Selectable marker, Transformation, Agrobacterium, Callus and Genetically modified crops.

His work in Germination addresses subjects such as Gibberellin, which are connected to disciplines such as Biochemistry, Gene and Cell biology. His research integrates issues of Arabidopsis and Plant physiology in his study of Seed dormancy. The Caryopsis research John V. Jacobsen does as part of his general Botany study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Brachypodium distachyon, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

Between 2004 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Dormancy release, ABA and pre-harvest sprouting. (343 citations)
  • Seed dormancy and ABA metabolism in Arabidopsis and barley: the role of ABA 8'-hydroxylase (283 citations)
  • Barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) (190 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry

John V. Jacobsen mostly deals with Hordeum vulgare, Dormancy, Plant physiology, Abscisic acid and Seed dormancy. The concepts of his Hordeum vulgare study are interwoven with issues in Genetics, Protoplast, Arabidopsis, Regulation of gene expression and Transformation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Ripening, Poaceae and Gene expression.

His Plant physiology research incorporates elements of Plant genetics and Agronomy.
