Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

Lam-Son Phan Tran spends much of his time researching Arabidopsis, Abiotic stress, Gene, Biochemistry and Abscisic acid. His Arabidopsis research integrates issues from Arabidopsis thaliana, Transcription factor, Molecular biology, Promoter and Genetically modified crops. Lam-Son Phan Tran has included themes like Photosynthesis, Oxidative stress, Osmotic shock, Cell biology and Abiotic component in his Abiotic stress study.

The concepts of his Gene study are interwoven with issues in Function and Botany, Drought tolerance. In the subject of general Biochemistry, his work in Proline, Antioxidant, Glutathione and Malondialdehyde is often linked to Ascorbic acid, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His study in Abscisic acid is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Signal transduction, Cytokinin and Metabolism.

His most cited work include:

  • Isolation and Functional Analysis of Arabidopsis Stress-Inducible NAC Transcription Factors That Bind to a Drought-Responsive cis-Element in the early responsive to dehydration stress 1 Promoter (1024 citations)
  • Functional analysis of a NAC‐type transcription factor OsNAC6 involved in abiotic and biotic stress‐responsive gene expression in rice (757 citations)
  • A dehydration‐induced NAC protein, RD26, is involved in a novel ABA‐dependent stress‐signaling pathway (667 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Botany, Gene, Arabidopsis, Abiotic stress and Cell biology. Lam-Son Phan Tran has researched Botany in several fields, including Medicago truncatula, Symbiosis and Rhizosphere. His Gene study improves the overall literature in Genetics.

He focuses mostly in the field of Arabidopsis, narrowing it down to matters related to Abscisic acid and, in some cases, Cytokinin. His Abiotic stress research includes elements of Biotechnology, Abiotic component and Genomics. Lam-Son Phan Tran studies Cell biology, namely Signal transduction.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (24.80%)
  • Gene (22.40%)
  • Arabidopsis (18.80%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Antioxidant (13.60%)
  • Cell biology (18.00%)
  • Abscisic acid (16.00%)

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

Lam-Son Phan Tran mainly investigates Antioxidant, Cell biology, Abscisic acid, Horticulture and Gene. His Antioxidant research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Proline, Oxidative stress and Food science. His Cell biology research incorporates themes from Arabidopsis thaliana, Arabidopsis, Strigolactone and Abiotic stress.

He combines subjects such as Transcriptome, Essential oil, Caffeic acid and Drought tolerance with his study of Abscisic acid. His work on Cultivar, Shoot and Meristem is typically connected to Stearic acid as part of general Horticulture study, connecting several disciplines of science. His Gene study is associated with Genetics.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Heat stress effects on source-sink relationships and metabolome dynamics in wheat. (24 citations)
  • Comparative functional analyses of DWARF14 and KARRIKIN INSENSITIVE 2 in drought adaptation of Arabidopsis thaliana. (13 citations)
  • Insights into acetate-mediated copper homeostasis and antioxidant defense in lentil under excessive copper stress. (12 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Botany

Lam-Son Phan Tran focuses on Cell biology, Strigolactone, Food science, Antioxidant and Arabidopsis. His Cell biology research is mostly focused on the topic Signal transduction. His Strigolactone research includes themes of Karrikin and Abscisic acid.

His research in Food science focuses on subjects like Catalase, which are connected to Superoxide dismutase, Metabolic pathway and Metal toxicity. His Antioxidant research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Photosynthesis, Acclimatization, Glyoxalase system and Seedling. His work carried out in the field of Arabidopsis brings together such families of science as Arabidopsis thaliana, Transcriptome, Transcription factor, Cutin and Late embryogenesis abundant proteins.
