Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Horticulture
  • Biochemistry

Karl Dörffling spends much of his time researching Botany, Agronomy, Horticulture, Poaceae and Irrigation. Botany is frequently linked to Phaseic acid in his study. His research on Agronomy frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Transpiration.

Karl Dörffling combines subjects such as Osmotic pressure and Hordeum with his study of Horticulture. His work in Poaceae addresses issues such as photoperiodism, which are connected to fields such as Osmotic concentration, Water stress and Winter wheat. The study incorporates disciplines such as Transpiration stream, Chlorophyll and Specific leaf area in addition to Irrigation.

His most cited work include:

  • Leaf K/Na ratio predicts salinity induced yield loss in irrigated rice (176 citations)
  • Abscisic Acid and Cytokinins as Possible Root-to-Shoot Signals in Xylem Sap of Rice Plants in Drying Soil (152 citations)
  • Hardening, abscisic acid, proline and freezing resistance in two winter wheat varieties (135 citations)

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

His main research concerns Botany, Horticulture, Agronomy, Poaceae and Biochemistry. The Shoot, Xylem, Transpiration and Apical dominance research he does as part of his general Botany study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Frost, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. Karl Dörffling has included themes like Phaseic acid, Helianthus annuus, Savia and Stomatal conductance in his Xylem study.

His work carried out in the field of Horticulture brings together such families of science as Osmotic pressure and Plant physiology. His work on Cultivar, Field experiment and Irrigation is typically connected to Oryza as part of general Agronomy study, connecting several disciplines of science. His research in Poaceae intersects with topics in Hydroxyproline, photoperiodism, Cucurbitaceae and Cold resistance.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (53.73%)
  • Horticulture (29.85%)
  • Agronomy (23.88%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2015)?

  • Botany (53.73%)
  • Horticulture (29.85%)
  • Hardiness (4.48%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Horticulture, Hardiness, Biochemistry and Plant physiology. His study in Botany concentrates on Shoot, Ecophysiology and Poaceae. His Shoot study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Hypocotyl, Helianthus annuus, Xylem and Transpiration.

In the field of Horticulture, his study on Chlorophyll fluorescence overlaps with subjects such as Frost. His Hardiness research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Hydroxyproline, Callus and Hordeum vulgare. Seedling is closely connected to Cold acclimation in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Biochemistry.

Between 2002 and 2015, his most popular works were:

  • Root-derived trans-zeatin riboside and abscisic acid in drought-stressed and rewatered sunflower plants: interaction in the control of leaf diffusive resistance? (52 citations)
  • Plasma membrane lipid alterations induced by cold acclimation and abscisic acid treatment of winter wheat seedlings differing in frost resistance. (49 citations)
  • Chilling Tolerance of Maize Seedlings in the Field during Cold Periods in Spring is Related to Chilling‐Induced Increase in Abscisic Acid Level (41 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Biochemistry
  • Horticulture

Karl Dörffling mostly deals with Ecophysiology, Poaceae, Water content, Stress hormone and Field conditions. His Ecophysiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Xylem, Helianthus annuus, Shoot and Transpiration. Transpiration is a primary field of his research addressed under Botany.

His Poaceae study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Field experiment and Cultivar.
