Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Phloem
  • Cytoplasm

Katherine Esau mainly focuses on Phloem, Botany, Biophysics, Cytoplasm and Plasmodesma. Her Sieve tube element study, which is part of a larger body of work in Phloem, is frequently linked to Nicotiana tabacum, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her work on Vascular tissue and Vascular bundle as part of her general Botany study is frequently connected to Ontogeny, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

Katherine Esau has included themes like Ultrastructure, Anatomy, Cell, Sieve and Cucurbita maxima in her Biophysics study. Katherine Esau has researched Anatomy in several fields, including Fibril, Vascular cambium and Forisome. Her Cytoplasm study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Endoplasmic reticulum, Parenchyma and Virology.

Her most cited work include:

  • Anatomy of seed plants (2015 citations)
  • AN EVALUATION OF STUDIES ON ULTRASTRUCTURE OF TONOPLAST IN SIEVE ELEMENTS. (200 citations)
  • Vascular differentiation in plants (200 citations)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Phloem, Parenchyma, Biophysics and Sieve. Her work in Botany is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Anatomy. Her studies in Phloem integrate themes in fields like Ultrastructure, Plasmodesma and Plant virus, Curly top, Virus.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cytoplasm and Virology. Her Cytoplasm research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Vesicle, Endoplasmic reticulum and Nucleus. Katherine Esau interconnects Spinach and Cucurbita maxima in the investigation of issues within Biophysics.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (55.63%)
  • Phloem (54.97%)
  • Parenchyma (30.46%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 1974-2014)?

  • Phloem (54.97%)
  • Botany (55.63%)
  • Ultrastructure (18.54%)

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

Katherine Esau mostly deals with Phloem, Botany, Ultrastructure, Sieve and Cytoplasm. Her Phloem research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Virus, Plant virus, Virology, Endoplasmic reticulum and Parenchyma. The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Cell nucleus and Spinach.

Katherine Esau is interested in Plasmodesma, which is a field of Ultrastructure. Her Sieve research includes themes of Biophysics, Sieve tube element and Anatomy. Katherine Esau combines subjects such as Mimosa pudica and Xylem with her study of Anatomy.

Between 1974 and 2014, her most popular works were:

  • SIEVE PLATE PORES AND PLASMODESMATA, THE COMMUNICATION CHANNELS OF THE SYMPLAST: ULTRASTRUCTURAL ASPECTS AND DEVELOPMENTAL RELATIONS (81 citations)
  • Ultrastructure of potato leaf phloem infected with potato leafroll virus. (76 citations)
  • On Vessel Member Differentiation in the Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) (60 citations)
