Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Ecology

Laurent Laplaze mostly deals with Cell biology, Lateral root, Botany, Auxin and Arabidopsis. Laurent Laplaze interconnects Primordium, Vascular tissue and Mutant in the investigation of issues within Cell biology. In his work, Meristem is strongly intertwined with Pericycle, which is a subfield of Lateral root.

His Botany research focuses on Root system in particular. His Auxin study incorporates themes from Lateral root formation and Auxin influx. His Arabidopsis thaliana research extends to Arabidopsis, which is thematically connected.

His most cited work include:

  • The auxin influx carrier LAX3 promotes lateral root emergence (581 citations)
  • Arabidopsis lateral root development: an emerging story. (548 citations)
  • Auxin-dependent regulation of lateral root positioning in the basal meristem of Arabidopsis. (474 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Actinorhizal plant, Frankia, Symbiosis and Cell biology. The Botany study combines topics in areas such as Casuarina glauca, Nitrogen fixation, Casuarinaceae, Root nodule and Auxin. Laurent Laplaze works mostly in the field of Auxin, limiting it down to topics relating to Arabidopsis and, in certain cases, Arabidopsis thaliana, as a part of the same area of interest.

His research investigates the connection between Actinorhizal plant and topics such as Gene that intersect with problems in Computational biology. In his study, Casuarina equisetifolia is strongly linked to Casuarina, which falls under the umbrella field of Frankia. His Cell biology research focuses on Lateral root and how it connects with Pericycle, Root system, Lateral root formation, Primordium and Horticulture.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (63.47%)
  • Actinorhizal plant (40.12%)
  • Frankia (35.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Agronomy (24.55%)
  • Lateral root (23.95%)
  • Botany (63.47%)

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

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Lateral root, Botany, Pearl and Cell biology. His study on Agronomy also encompasses disciplines like

  • Arid, which have a strong connection to Root system and Nutrient,
  • Crop yield most often made with reference to Agriculture. He connects Lateral root with Root branching in his study.

His studies deal with areas such as Salinity, Frankia and Jasmonate as well as Botany. His research in Frankia intersects with topics in Actinorhizal plant and Casuarina. His Cell biology research incorporates elements of Primordium, Lateral root formation, Auxin, Morphogenesis and Root system architecture.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • New Insights on Plant Salt Tolerance Mechanisms and Their Potential Use for Breeding. (220 citations)
  • Characterization of Pearl Millet Root Architecture and Anatomy Reveals Three Types of Lateral Roots (39 citations)
  • Characterization of Pearl Millet Root Architecture and Anatomy Reveals Three Types of Lateral Roots (39 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • DNA

Laurent Laplaze spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Symbiosis, Lateral root, Salinity and Nutrient. The concepts of his Agronomy study are interwoven with issues in Water scarcity and Inbred strain. His Lateral root research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Morphogenesis, Lateral root formation, Root system and Cell biology.

Laurent Laplaze has included themes like Primordium, Lateral root morphogenesis, Meristem and Pericycle in his Lateral root formation study. His Salinity research incorporates themes from Actinorhizal plant, Crop yield and Frankia. Laurent Laplaze combines subjects such as Casuarina equisetifolia, Botany and Soil fertility with his study of Frankia.
