Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

Liam Dolan spends much of his time researching Cell biology, Root hair, Botany, Arabidopsis and Root hair initiation. His work deals with themes such as Arabidopsis thaliana, Cellular differentiation and Cell morphogenesis, which intersect with Cell biology. His Root hair study incorporates themes from Plant cell, Morphogenesis, Root hair elongation and Cell growth.

His studies deal with areas such as NADPH oxidase and Reactive oxygen species as well as Plant cell. His Botany study combines topics in areas such as Ecology, Cell division, Signal transduction and Multicellular organism. His Arabidopsis study is associated with Mutant.

His most cited work include:

  • REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES PRODUCED BY NADPH OXIDASE REGULATE PLANT CELL GROWTH (1767 citations)
  • Cellular organisation of the Arabidopsis thaliana root (1102 citations)
  • Sustainable Intensification in Agriculture: Premises and Policies (853 citations)

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

Botany, Cell biology, Root hair, Arabidopsis and Arabidopsis thaliana are his primary areas of study. His Botany research also works with subjects such as

  • Gene together with Evolutionary biology,
  • Physcomitrella patens which is related to area like Regulation of gene expression. Liam Dolan works in the field of Cell biology, focusing on Epidermis in particular.

The various areas that Liam Dolan examines in his Root hair study include Root hair initiation, Rhizoid, Root hair elongation and Cell growth. His Arabidopsis research includes themes of Plant cell, Morphogenesis and Cell fate determination. In Arabidopsis thaliana, he works on issues like Marchantia polymorpha, which are connected to Plant evolution.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Botany (56.99%)
  • Cell biology (48.19%)
  • Root hair (48.19%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Botany (56.99%)
  • Root hair (48.19%)
  • Marchantia polymorpha (9.33%)

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

Liam Dolan focuses on Botany, Root hair, Marchantia polymorpha, Cell biology and Arabidopsis. His research integrates issues of Arabidopsis thaliana, Ecology, Rhynie chert, Asteroxylon and Gene in his study of Botany. Liam Dolan connects Root hair with Tip growth in his research.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Organogenesis and Marchantia. His study on Root hair elongation is often connected to Root as part of broader study in Arabidopsis. The various areas that Liam Dolan examines in his Root hair elongation study include Transcription factor, Lateral root and Phosphate.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Chara Genome: Secondary Complexity and Implications for Plant Terrestrialization. (157 citations)
  • A mechanistic framework for auxin dependent Arabidopsis root hair elongation to low external phosphate (58 citations)
  • History and contemporary significance of the Rhynie cherts-our earliest preserved terrestrial ecosystem. (41 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Botany
  • Genetics

His primary scientific interests are in Root hair, Rhynie chert, Botany, Plant evolution and Arabidopsis. His studies deal with areas such as Mutant and Ectopic expression as well as Root hair. His Rhynie chert study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ecosystem, Terrestrial ecosystem and Developmental genetics.

Many of his research projects under Botany are closely connected to Ancestor with Ancestor, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His study in Plant evolution is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Evolutionary biology, Meristem and Gene family. Arabidopsis is often connected to Cell biology in his work.
