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

Keith A. Mott spends much of his time researching Botany, Guard cell, Stomatal conductance, Humidity and Biophysics. The Transpiration, Tradescantia and Darkness research Keith A. Mott does as part of his general Botany study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Phase and Oenothera caespitosa, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His Transpiration study deals with Analytical chemistry intersecting with Heat transfer and Diffusion.

His Guard cell research includes themes of Xylem, Intracellular and Plant physiology. His Stomatal conductance research spans across into fields like Conductance and Context. His studies deal with areas such as Co2 concentration, Carbon dioxide, Ambient humidity and Epidermis as well as Biophysics.

Between 2007 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • The role of the mesophyll in stomatal responses to light and CO2. (117 citations)
  • Modelling stomatal conductance in response to environmental factors (99 citations)
  • A New, Vapour-phase Mechanism for Stomatal Responses to Humidity and Temperature (99 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Biochemistry
  • Enzyme

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Guard cell, Red light, Vicia faba and Tradescantia. Botany is integrated with Water transport and Empirical modelling in his study. His Guard cell study combines topics in areas such as Humidity, Mechanics, Relative humidity and Transpiration.

His studies in Vicia faba integrate themes in fields like Sativum and Pisum.
