Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Photosynthesis

Julie D. Scholes mainly focuses on Botany, Photosynthesis, Chlorophyll fluorescence, Chlorophyll and Striga hermonthica. Her biological study focuses on Violaxanthin. Her research in Photosynthesis intersects with topics in Hordeum vulgare, Carbohydrate metabolism, Shoot and Trifolium repens.

Her Chlorophyll fluorescence research incorporates themes from Biophysics and Gene expression. Her research integrates issues of Puccinia coronata, Crown, Inoculation and Spore in her study of Chlorophyll. Her Striga hermonthica research focuses on Quantitative trait locus and how it relates to Striga, Sorghum, Weed and Agronomy.

Her most cited work include:

  • The dissipation of excess excitation energy in British plant species (271 citations)
  • Metabolic consequences of susceptibility and resistance (race‐specific and broad‐spectrum) in barley leaves challenged with powdery mildew (241 citations)
  • Mycorrhizal sink strength influences whole plant carbon balance of Trifolium repens L (231 citations)

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

Julie D. Scholes mostly deals with Botany, Photosynthesis, Striga, Agronomy and Chlorophyll. Her Botany research integrates issues from Parasitic plant and Horticulture. Her research integrates issues of Carbohydrate metabolism and Nutrient in her study of Photosynthesis.

Her Striga research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Quantitative trait locus and Host. In her study, Photosynthetic pigment is inextricably linked to Hordeum vulgare, which falls within the broad field of Chlorophyll. As a part of the same scientific family, Julie D. Scholes mostly works in the field of Chlorophyll fluorescence, focusing on Photosystem II and, on occasion, Chloroplast.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (61.29%)
  • Photosynthesis (35.48%)
  • Striga (21.51%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Botany (61.29%)
  • Striga (21.51%)
  • Striga hermonthica (17.20%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Botany, Striga, Striga hermonthica, Agriculture and Ecology. The concepts of her Botany study are interwoven with issues in Mycorrhizal fungi and Microbiology. In her study, Abundance, Agroforestry, Weed and Cropping is strongly linked to Crop, which falls under the umbrella field of Striga.

Her studies in Striga hermonthica integrate themes in fields like Genetic diversity, Host, Parasitic plant and Genetic variation. Julie D. Scholes focuses mostly in the field of Agriculture, narrowing it down to matters related to Environmental protection and, in some cases, Climate change, Biogeochemical cycle and Crop production. Her study in the field of Ecosystem, Community structure and Plankton also crosses realms of Plume.

Between 2011 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Farming with crops and rocks to address global climate, food and soil security. (78 citations)
  • Gall formation in clubroot‐infected Arabidopsis results from an increase in existing meristematic activities of the host but is not essential for the completion of the pathogen life cycle (39 citations)
  • Do NERICA rice cultivars express resistance to Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth. and Striga asiatica (L.) Kuntze under field conditions (31 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Gene

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Striga, Striga hermonthica, Striga asiatica, Oryza sativa and Host. Her Striga study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Genetic variation. Her Striga asiatica study deals with the bigger picture of Agronomy.

Her research in Oryza sativa intersects with topics in Cultivar and Virulence. Her work in the fields of Host, such as Parasitic plant, overlaps with other areas such as Human population genetics.
