Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Bacteria

Botany, Salinity, Biophysics, Membrane potential and Ion transporter are her primary areas of study. Her Botany research incorporates themes from Chemical physics and Membrane transport. Her studies in Salinity integrate themes in fields like Oxidative stress, Chenopodium quinoa, Shoot and Hordeum vulgare.

Lana Shabala has included themes like Efflux, Positive correlation and Plant physiology in her Hordeum vulgare study. Her work in the fields of Biophysics, such as Depolarization, overlaps with other areas such as Cytosol. Her studies deal with areas such as Ion homeostasis and Transporter as well as Membrane potential.

Her most cited work include:

  • Extracellular Ca2+ Ameliorates NaCl-Induced K+ Loss from Arabidopsis Root and Leaf Cells by Controlling Plasma Membrane K+-Permeable Channels (356 citations)
  • Salinity-induced ion flux patterns from the excised roots of Arabidopsis sos mutants (197 citations)
  • Effect of calcium on root development and root ion fluxes in salinised barley seedlings (178 citations)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Salinity, Biophysics, Botany, Biochemistry and Agronomy. Her Salinity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Shoot, Xylem, Horticulture and Hordeum vulgare. Her work carried out in the field of Biophysics brings together such families of science as Efflux and Ion transporter.

In general Botany study, her work on Plant physiology and Photosynthesis often relates to the realm of Cytosol and Context, thereby connecting several areas of interest. Her research in Biochemistry intersects with topics in Turgor pressure and Bacteria. Her Agronomy study incorporates themes from Quantitative trait locus and Abiotic component.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Salinity (34.50%)
  • Biophysics (23.98%)
  • Botany (22.81%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Salinity (34.50%)
  • Biophysics (23.98%)
  • Horticulture (12.87%)

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

Lana Shabala mostly deals with Salinity, Biophysics, Horticulture, Halophyte and Cell biology. Her study in Salinity is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Shoot, Germplasm, Agronomy and Oryza sativa. Her study in the field of Membrane potential and Depolarization also crosses realms of Apoplast.

Her Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Wild type, Mutant and Transporter. In her research, Stomatal conductance is intimately related to Hordeum vulgare, which falls under the overarching field of Flux. The Intracellular study combines topics in areas such as Extracellular and Channel blocker.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Tissue-specific respiratory burst oxidase homolog-dependent H2O2 signaling to the plasma membrane H+-ATPase confers potassium uptake and salinity tolerance in Cucurbitaceae. (28 citations)
  • Root vacuolar Na+ sequestration but not exclusion from uptake correlates with barley salt tolerance. (26 citations)
  • GORK Channel: A Master Switch of Plant Metabolism? (24 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Bacteria
  • Botany

Her primary areas of study are Salinity, Cell biology, Arabidopsis, Oryza sativa and Efflux. The Salinity study which covers Shoot that intersects with Wild type. Her NADPH oxidase and Reactive oxygen species study in the realm of Cell biology interacts with subjects such as Transcriptome.

Her work in Arabidopsis is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Biophysics. As a part of the same scientific study, Lana Shabala usually deals with the Oryza sativa, concentrating on Horticulture and frequently concerns with Oxidative stress, Crop and Plant physiology. Her research combines Ion channel and Efflux.
