Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

His scientific interests lie mostly in Pollen tube, Cell biology, Genetics, Botany and Biochemistry. His Pollen tube research is within the category of Pollen. José A. Feijó works mostly in the field of Cell biology, limiting it down to topics relating to Regulation of gene expression and, in certain cases, Notch signaling pathway, NODAL and Notch proteins, as a part of the same area of interest.

His research in the fields of Small RNA, DNA methylation, Epigenetics and Reprogramming overlaps with other disciplines such as Retrotransposon. When carried out as part of a general Botany research project, his work on Plant reproduction is frequently linked to work in Growing pains, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His study in the fields of Signal transduction, Extracellular and Arabidopsis under the domain of Biochemistry overlaps with other disciplines such as Inositol.

His most cited work include:

  • Epigenetic Reprogramming and Small RNA Silencing of Transposable Elements in Pollen (782 citations)
  • Epigenetic Reprogramming and Small RNA Silencing of Transposable Elements in Pollen (782 citations)
  • Gene Family Analysis of the Arabidopsis Pollen Transcriptome Reveals Biological Implications for Cell Growth, Division Control, and Gene Expression Regulation (422 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Botany, Pollen tube, Cell biology, Biophysics and Pollen. His research integrates issues of Calcium, Root hair and Physcomitrella patens in his study of Botany. His Pollen tube research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Gametophyte, Morphogenesis and Gynoecium.

His study in Cell biology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sperm, Arabidopsis thaliana, Regulation of gene expression and Arabidopsis. His research in Biophysics intersects with topics in Extracellular, Membrane, Biochemistry, Ion transporter and Cell polarity. His work on Reprogramming, DNA methylation, Small RNA and Epigenetics is typically connected to Retrotransposon as part of general Genetics study, connecting several disciplines of science.
