Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Biochemistry
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Biophysics, Xylem, Arabidopsis thaliana and Biochemistry. His research combines Plant cell and Botany. His Biophysics research includes elements of Photosynthesis, Chlorophyll fluorescence and Phloem.

The concepts of his Xylem study are interwoven with issues in Soil science, Picea abies and Fagaceae. The Arabidopsis thaliana study combines topics in areas such as Apical dominance, Abscisic acid, Cellular differentiation and Meristem. He focuses mostly in the field of Biochemistry, narrowing it down to matters related to Sieve tube element and, in some cases, Chemiosmosis, Osmolyte and Electrochemical gradient.

His most cited work include:

  • Electrical signals and their physiological significance in plants (404 citations)
  • A Molecular Timetable for Apical Bud Formation and Dormancy Induction in Poplar (380 citations)
  • Loss of the AKT2/3 potassium channel affects sugar loading into the phloem of Arabidopsis (191 citations)

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

His main research concerns Botany, Biophysics, Xylem, Photosynthesis and Phloem. His studies link Abscisic acid with Botany. His studies in Biophysics integrate themes in fields like Arabidopsis, Sieve tube element, Ion transporter and Biochemistry.

His research in Xylem intersects with topics in Potassium, Salinity, Woody plant and Lignin. His research integrates issues of Electron transport chain, Chloroplast and Stimulation in his study of Photosynthesis. His Phloem study incorporates themes from Plasmodesma and Depolarization.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (41.03%)
  • Biophysics (24.36%)
  • Xylem (23.08%)

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

  • Stomatal conductance (10.26%)
  • Guard cell (8.97%)
  • Nitrate (2.56%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Stomatal conductance, Guard cell, Nitrate, Agronomy and Photosynthesis. His Stomatal conductance research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Biophysics and Transpiration. His Guard cell research includes themes of Arabidopsis and Abscisic acid.

His Nitrate study combines topics in areas such as Xylem, Botany, Xenopus, Tandem and Ion. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Plant Stomata, Osmosis and Chloride. In Photosynthesis, Jörg Fromm works on issues like Soil water, which are connected to Stimulation.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The desert plant Phoenix dactylifera closes stomata via nitrate‐regulated SLAC1 anion channel (27 citations)
  • Insect haptoelectrical stimulation of Venus flytrap triggers exocytosis in gland cells (27 citations)
  • A Tandem Amino Acid Residue Motif in Guard Cell SLAC1 Anion Channel of Grasses Allows for the Control of Stomatal Aperture by Nitrate. (22 citations)
