Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Gene

Botany, Shoot, Rumex palustris, Shade avoidance and Ecology are his primary areas of study. His Botany study incorporates themes from Oryza sativa, Auxin and Cell biology. Laurentius A. C. J. Voesenek combines subjects such as Regulation of gene expression, Signal transduction and Polygonaceae with his study of Shoot.

His research integrates issues of Aerenchyma, Rumex and Root system in his study of Rumex palustris. His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Labelling and Flooding. The Flooding study combines topics in areas such as Photosynthesis, Waterlogging and Wetland.

His most cited work include:

  • Flooding Stress: Acclimations and Genetic Diversity (1001 citations)
  • Flooding tolerance: suites of plant traits in variable environments (484 citations)
  • Oxygen sensing in plants is mediated by an N-end rule pathway for protein destabilization (427 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Botany, Rumex palustris, Shoot, Petiole and Rumex. His study in Botany is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Arabidopsis, Shade avoidance, Auxin and Cell biology. Laurentius A. C. J. Voesenek interconnects Ecology, Rumex thyrsiflorus, Aerenchyma, Polygonaceae and Ecophysiology in the investigation of issues within Rumex palustris.

Laurentius A. C. J. Voesenek has researched Shoot in several fields, including Plant hormone, Regulation of gene expression, Photosynthesis and Flooding. His work carried out in the field of Petiole brings together such families of science as Expansin and Abscisic acid. His studies deal with areas such as Biomass and Horticulture as well as Rumex.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (60.75%)
  • Rumex palustris (27.10%)
  • Shoot (24.30%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Botany (60.75%)
  • Flooding (14.49%)
  • Ecology (16.36%)

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

His main research concerns Botany, Flooding, Ecology, Cell biology and Arabidopsis. His Botany research includes themes of Arabidopsis thaliana, Shade avoidance and Genetic variation. His Flooding research incorporates themes from Plant cell, Climate change, Waterlogging and Oryza sativa.

His Wetland, Adaptation, Plant strategies and Habitat study, which is part of a larger body of work in Ecology, is frequently linked to Survival strategy, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work in the fields of Cell biology, such as Reactive oxygen species, overlaps with other areas such as Hypoxia. His research on Arabidopsis also deals with topics like

  • Regulation of gene expression and related Auxin,
  • Hypocotyl that connect with fields like Gibberellin, Brassinosteroid, Transcription, Hyponastic response and Biochemistry.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Flood adaptive traits and processes: an overview (276 citations)
  • Shade tolerance: when growing tall is not an option (187 citations)
  • Perception of low red:far-red ratio compromises both salicylic acid- and jasmonic acid-dependent pathogen defences in Arabidopsis. (128 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Gene

Laurentius A. C. J. Voesenek spends much of his time researching Ecology, Flooding, Shade avoidance, Botany and Adaptation. Ecology and Rumex palustris are commonly linked in his work. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Oryza, Aerenchyma, Crop and Seedling.

His Flooding study incorporates themes from Plant cell, Biophysics, Species richness and Carbon dioxide. His studies examine the connections between Shade avoidance and genetics, as well as such issues in Plant ecology, with regards to Competition, Phenotypic plasticity and Methyl jasmonate. His work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as Arabidopsis thaliana, Oryza sativa and Arabidopsis.
