  • 1974 - Fellow of John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Biochemistry
  • Photosynthesis

His primary scientific interests are in Guard cell, Botany, Biochemistry, Biophysics and Photosynthesis. Klaus Raschke connects Guard cell with Chloride in his research. His work in the fields of Botany, such as Transpiration stream and Stomatal conductance, intersects with other areas such as Malic acid and Saturation.

His Biochemistry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Vicia faba, Nuclear chemistry and Titration. His work is dedicated to discovering how Biophysics, Patch clamp are connected with Hordeum vulgare, Hyperpolarization, Apoplast and Xylem and other disciplines. His Photosynthesis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Assimilation and Chlorophyll.

His most cited work include:

  • Ca2+ and nucleotide dependent regulation of voltage dependent anion channels in the plasma membrane of guard cells. (297 citations)
  • Correlation between loss of turgor and accumulation of abscisic acid in detached leaves. (244 citations)
  • Effect of Light Quality on Stomatal Opening in Leaves of Xanthium strumarium L. (193 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Biochemistry, Biophysics, Guard cell, Botany and Photosynthesis. In his study, Membrane transport, Commelina communis and Vicia faba is inextricably linked to Hordeum vulgare, which falls within the broad field of Biochemistry. His Biophysics research incorporates elements of Light intensity, Membrane and Patch clamp.

As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Guard cell, focusing on Protoplast and, on occasion, Pipette, Pentose phosphate pathway and Vesicle. His work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as Zea mays and Horticulture. In the field of Photosynthesis, his study on Chlorophyll fluorescence overlaps with subjects such as Hexose.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (46.15%)
  • Biophysics (40.00%)
  • Guard cell (38.46%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1991-2006)?

  • Biochemistry (46.15%)
  • Biophysics (40.00%)
  • Guard cell (38.46%)

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

His primary areas of study are Biochemistry, Biophysics, Guard cell, Apoplast and Membrane potential. His work on Photosynthesis, Fructose, Phosphate and Pisum as part of general Biochemistry study is frequently linked to Vacuole, bridging the gap between disciplines. Klaus Raschke interconnects Patch clamp, Xylem and Hordeum vulgare in the investigation of issues within Biophysics.

His studies in Patch clamp integrate themes in fields like Depolarization and Inward-rectifier potassium ion channel. The concepts of his Guard cell study are interwoven with issues in Extracellular and Stereochemistry. His Membrane conductance study in the realm of Membrane potential interacts with subjects such as Malic acid.

Between 1991 and 2006, his most popular works were:

  • Ion Channels in the Xylem Parenchyma of Barley Roots. A Procedure to Isolate Protoplasts from This Tissue and a Patch-Clamp Exploration of Salt Passageways into Xylem Vessels. (193 citations)
  • Apoplastic expression of yeast-derived invertase in potato : effects on photosynthesis, leaf solute composition, water relations, and tuber composition. (127 citations)
  • A slow anion channel in guard cells, activating at large hyperpolarization, may be principal for stomatal closing (120 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Biochemistry
  • Metabolism

Klaus Raschke mainly investigates Apoplast, Biochemistry, Biophysics, Hyperpolarization and Patch clamp. His work deals with themes such as Phloem, Xylem and Hordeum vulgare, which intersect with Apoplast. He has included themes like Membrane potential, Symplast, Inward-rectifier potassium ion channel and Ion transporter in his Xylem study.

His study in the field of Invertase, Sucrose and Fructose is also linked to topics like Proline. His Biophysics study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Guard cell. His Patch clamp research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in EGTA, Stereochemistry and Depolarization.
