Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Botany

Julian M. Hibberd mainly investigates Photosynthesis, Botany, Gene, C4 photosynthesis and Genetics. His studies in Photosynthesis integrate themes in fields like Sugar and Arabidopsis thaliana. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Circadian Clock Associated 1, Circadian clock, Period and TOC1.

His Gene expression profiling, Protein subunit, Plastid and Complementary DNA study in the realm of Gene interacts with subjects such as Rotavirus. His C4 photosynthesis research includes themes of Gene expression, Cellular differentiation and Metabolic engineering. His Vascular bundle study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Developmental biology, Non-vascular plant, Xylem, Carbon fixation and RuBisCO.

His most cited work include:

  • Plant Circadian Clocks Increase Photosynthesis, Growth, Survival, and Competitive Advantage (1053 citations)
  • Redesigning photosynthesis to sustainably meet global food and bioenergy demand (415 citations)
  • TransRate: reference-free quality assessment of de novo transcriptome assemblies (378 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Photosynthesis, Gene, Botany, C4 photosynthesis and Vascular bundle. His work focuses on many connections between Photosynthesis and other disciplines, such as Abundance, that overlap with his field of interest in Flaveria. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Gene, concentrating on Cell biology and frequently concerns with Arabidopsis and Cell.

Botany connects with themes related to Parasitic plant in his study. His C4 photosynthesis research also works with subjects such as

  • Chloroplast which is related to area like Green fluorescent protein,
  • Evolutionary biology which intersects with area such as Phenotype. His Vascular bundle research integrates issues from RNA and Biophysics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Photosynthesis (35.07%)
  • Gene (35.07%)
  • Botany (32.84%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Gene (35.07%)
  • Gene expression (16.42%)
  • C4 photosynthesis (29.85%)

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

Julian M. Hibberd spends much of his time researching Gene, Gene expression, C4 photosynthesis, Photosynthesis and Cell biology. His Gene study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Evolutionary biology. To a larger extent, Julian M. Hibberd studies Botany with the aim of understanding C4 photosynthesis.

His studies deal with areas such as Metabolite and Metabolite profiling as well as Botany. His Photosynthesis study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Flux and Metabolic pathway. His research integrates issues of Vascular bundle, Chromatin and Arabidopsis in his study of Cell biology.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Genome-Wide Transcription Factor Binding in Leaves from C3 and C4 Grasses. (15 citations)
  • Transgenic maize phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase alters leaf-atmosphere CO2 and 13CO2 exchanges in Oryza sativa. (8 citations)
  • Knockdown of glycine decarboxylase complex alters photorespiratory carbon isotope fractionation in Oryza sativa leaves. (7 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Botany

His primary areas of investigation include C4 photosynthesis, Gene expression, Transcription factor, Gene and Oryza sativa. His C4 photosynthesis study results in a more complete grasp of Botany. His study in Gene expression is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Arabidopsis thaliana, Mutant and Cell biology.

His research on Arabidopsis thaliana frequently links to adjacent areas such as Vascular bundle. His Transcription factor research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Promoter, DNA binding site, Genome, Regulation of gene expression and Sequence analysis. Julian M. Hibberd focuses mostly in the field of Oryza sativa, narrowing it down to matters related to Respiration and, in some cases, Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, Horticulture, Plant physiology and Genetically modified maize.
